Opinions and Reviews: Music Video “Born Free” by Recording Artist M.I.A.

Red heads, running, stamina, masculinity, pop, and innocence. Initially, watching M.I.A.’s new music video, many questions were formed in my head — with no one to ask, but only to hope when the video was over — I would have answers. Gore and gallant. Plus, I love the use of sound in this video. Very mature. Though, I have read articles who’ve compared “Born Free” to Erykah Badu’s “Window Seat”, — it is not as strong as reporters and journalists make it.

GrungeCake Magazine Interview with Recording Artists MC Pig Pen and Dessa by Kosha Dillz!

I must say that whenever I attend a Hip-Hop show in NYC, the attire women wear is usually appropriate, in relation to the constant “video girl” that we get to feast our eyes upon in BET’s Uncut or VH1/MTV. If you do watch Shakira, her fame not only carves the great voice, but she does sound much better hitting high notes in flesh over-tone doing a split while singing on a basically… naked… hit song… or should I say hit… naked… song.

GrungeCake Magazine Interview with Recording Artist Hassaan Mackey!

Hassaan Mackey finds his freedom behind bars. His sharp freestyling skills parallel a witty, insightful mind. He pours his heart over beats as he takes us through a journey of his life through inquisition, cynicism, and a spiritual mind that sells his knowledge of self and undoubted sense of purpose. “Soul for Sale”, his latest work, is a priceless tale that is the culmination of a man still standing despite his life’s endless shortcomings, ranging from tragic deaths to the harsh reality of urban living, which he encountered at an early age.
