Time Travelin’ (In Search Of Finding Forever) Mixtape,
Glow In The Dark Tour rumors unveiled, Al Green interview


Chrisette Michele gets a solid 4 ?uesties in Okayplayer Reviews
• We asked the boards to come up with a name for DJ Soul’s Best Of Common mixtape. DaDADAdadaDA… and the winner is okp betelgeuse with “Time Travelin’ (In Search Of Finding Forever)”. Make sure you jump on our pre-order launching early next week which will include this 78 minute mixtape c/o DJ Soul along with Common’s Finding Forever! Also trying to get some Common stickers in there if we can.

• OKP investigators uncover the Glow in Da Dark Tour rumors… that we may have started, lol. Kanye, Common, T-Pain, Lupe- sounds too good to be true, which means it might be. Or might not be. Basically, we’re still awaiting confirmed details on this tour, so hold tight.

• Still full of love and happiness, the reverend Al Green gives a wonderful interview where he talks about his new record, The Roots, Memphis, and that baby-makin music. Although we still don’t have a date for the record release, we all know a ?uesto/Al Green collabo is gonna be outta this world.

• Roots label-mate Chrisette Michele receives 4 out of 5 ?uesties on her debut album I Am in our Reviews. Don’t sleep, her voice is what dreams are made of. While you’re in there, make sure to read up on the latest from Now-Again Records Now-Again Re: Sounds Vol. I which also earned a mighty 4 ?uesties.

• Remember the jheri curl? Remember getting funky to that synth sound in the early 80s? Zapp and Roger, Billy Ocean! Help out- name the tune you’d love to hear on Brooklynbeef’s “Jheri Curl Funk Compilation.”
