Yo Cons, OKPDan is offering up a challenge. Claims HEs the Connect Four champ. Read Consequence’s 3rd Tour Journal entry as he hits up Brighton International Centre in the UK alongside Estelle, Common, and Kanye. Respect to Ye who explained why he didn’t stop the tour in light of his mother’s passing.
Another Reflection Eternal? Read this in-depth Hi Tek interview where he discusses Estelle, technique, Kweli, RE, and Hi-Teknology. Look for Hi-Teknology 3 in stores Dec. 11th.
Wu-Tang, Wu-Tang, Wu-Tang! Throw up the Ws, Wu is back with 8 Diagrams, also scheduled for official release on Dec. 11th. Real Wu-heads put serious thought into their album reviews. Get in on the discussion and let us know your thoughts.
In case Dan’s post-Turkey-day photo was too misleading, let’s clarify-
?uestlove is NOT a daddy… well, not that we know of. That adorable pumpkin in the photo is the brilliant son of our FOH sound engineer, Artless. Give thanks.
Everyone knows the holidays are a time for giving, so OKP once again joined forces with ReNew Orleans. Cop a fresh t-shirt, hat, or jacket and 25% of all sale prices will be donated to New Orleans’ charities. Wear this tee and personally broadcast a statement: New Orleans will be rebuilt, and faith will be restored. There can’t be any future for New Orleans without music, and we hope this to be one small step towards bringing it back.
