Rye Rye Interview w/ VEVO at SWSX

Perusing through youtube I saw some great videos featuring Rye Rye at SWSX 2010 music festival. We can't wait for Go!Pop!Bang!

Marky " Louis Squares"

 
MARKY - Louis Squares from Winning Streak on Vimeo.

Marky is a great artist. It's good to see him reappear with some great concepts, and visuals.  This song uses the  original instrumental for  Nas's classic "Take It In Blood" instrumental. Download the mixtape The Journey to Markyland, USA: The Rest Stop Series.

 

Cee-lo - " Fuck You' (VIDEO)

Cee-lo didn't disappoint with the video for everyone's favorite song "Fuck You". Did you know that current popular singer Bruno Mars helped write this smash of a song?! Expect Cee-lo's LadyKiller later this year.

Wendel Patrick - THE CYPHER (feat. Saleem, Topix, & Eze Jackson of Soul Cannon)

Honestly Eze Jackson is probably one of my favorite emcees in Baltimore. Soul Cannon is a dope band. Look them up, and check them out on www.SoulCannon.com or our mixtape Abaltimorelovething Presents The mixtape Vol 1.

N.E.R.D. MTV Live Sessions

Pictured: Pharrell Williams circa 2002

I must say that as a N.E.R.D fan, I've been nervous about the direction of their upcoming album, Nothing. After this release of their live show with MTV I feel a little better. This group is always good at improvisation, and their slow-tempo joints are always my favorites. The song titled, "Help Me" sounds great with Pharrell giving his best James Brown grunt. Check it out below:

City and Poly Education Standards Scrutinized

 Pictured: City High School

A new article in the Baltimore Sun goes into detail about City, and Poly - two Baltimore public schools which currently fall into an unsatisfying rating according to Baltimore schools CEO Andrés Alonso.  I’ve, personally, attended Baltimore City Public Schools throughout my life, and  I consider the education to be "Comme Ci, Comme Ça" . There are some great teachers present , but our children can be pushed further. I also believe that the children have to want an education. Some students see their parents struggle financially having experienced the same education. We need more role-models, and field trips to organizations outside of the city. Students need experiences that will force them to dream beyond their 4-block radius. - Ryan Lyons

Statistics from article:

"Of the students who graduated in the Class of 2003, 46 percent from Poly and 39 percent from City had earned a degree from a two- or four-year college six years later, rates that top school officials concede are far too low." - Liz Bowie of The Baltimore Sun
