Lesson vets Nicolay and Kay are in it to win it. With TIME:LINE dropping tomorrow, Okayplayer sent resident writer Mike Drohan to chop it up with the guys. Read our exclusive interview and find out about how the two linked up in The Lesson, The Foreign Exchange, thoughts on Houston Texas, their recording process, and the concept of time. Get all things TIME:LINE along with an exclusive early album preview on Nicolay’s MySpace page, discuss.
Yesterday I caught up with Umi from P.O.W./ dead prez / RBG family and got to check out the new dead prez: Live in San Francisco DVD. Check for that!
We got a lot of questions about BLU after we posted a photo of him last Friday. Here is a good discussion thread in The Lesson.
This thread seeks to summarize Hip-Hop’s hot emerging talent noting Kid Sister, Wale, Izza Kizza, Cool Kids, Tabey Boney, Kid Cudi, B.O.B.. Here’s a track from our boy Izza that’s been blowing up fast since it was leaked to the Web last week. What say you?
Izza Kizza f. Missy Elliot - “Walk The Dog”
Incubus bass player (and one-man-band / producer / song writer) Ben Kenney weighs in on fame and being an OkayArtist in this post.
Shout out to Cons’ who’s video for “The Good, The Bad, The Ugly” has been added to MTV Jamz and Music Choice On Demand. You saw it here first.
Lot’s of news and content on Erykah Badu (New Amerykah one week from tomorrow!) and The Roots throughout this week so stay tuned!
The wood grain in today’s photo reminds me of the brand new workstations we installed in our loft over the weekend at the DECON / Okayplayer headquarters in SoHo. Bamboo, we likey.

I Love Tabey Boney, how do I find his cd. I heard 3 singles from it and love all of them but I cant seem to find the cd. Where can I purchase it. Thank You.
