It’s fair enough to say that I liked Mr. Mescudi’s album (review here) and one of my favorite cuts off the End of Day recently got the Benassi treatment. Pursuit stays the late-night blunt cruising anthem, and now it adds dark room rager to it’s resume.

(about K'Naan, the Internet, and the international music scene). 
I often feel like the next major movement in music will probably happen (or is happening/already happened) in some part of the world Americans don't think about much. Think about how hip hop is right now and how we live in a post-modern, futuristic world where so many trends are driven by social media/cell phones/etc. USA music is relatively stale, and people are restless because so much of this music that hits the web is disposable bs. You pick it up off a blog and build up your iTunes. Then you realize you got a ton of wack demos from bands that suck and a bunch of wack 1-freestyle-per-day rappers. So you delete most of it, start over, and never think to support an artist you really like that has talent by buying there songs or going to their shows. Sounds true and really lame right?

Dobbs Lambasts Loose Immigration Legislation in Hip-Hop
Dobbs: .....Damarcus, you mentioned an interesting fact in a conversation we had earlier that about 40% of last quarters profits from the Hip-Hop industry being re-invested across Lake Ontario. This means that more and more hip-hop artists have less and less money to feed their numerous families and re-invest in their communities, and all the while you, Mr. Harrow, and your ilk are taking jobs away from hardworking, honest American hip-hop artists; you rappers send money back to your "crib" and 'hood so your brothers and sisters can buy rim's, big chains, and whatever else it is you Torontians buy.
