P.R. 0 Comments ,

It would not be an overstatement to say claim Yasiin Bey as being one of the most prolific visionaries. While many were first exposed to him as the rapper Mos Def, few realize that Bey had his start in show business as a child actor – which contributes to his ceaseless passion and experience on-screen. On top of these two professions, the Brooklyn-native has also made noise on the social and political tip, on which we have been taking notice of for a more than a decade now.

P.R. 0 Comments

Since dropping his hit, debut album My Krazy Life earlier this year, YG has been having quite the stand-out year. It’s only right that the Compton MC closes with year with another release based upon the LP. Written by the “Who Do You Love” rapper, YG officially premiered his short film, Blame It On The Streets, in L.A. last night (Nov. 25). Originally hoping to put out the short film as an accompaniment to his debut LP, YG received the support from his label to figure out how to put a movie together before the year officially closed. “The goal was to create a classic album and a short film but when we dropped the album we didn’t have enough time to shoot the movie so we had to figure out a way how to put a movie out. So we figured it out and put it out the same year, Dec. 2014,” he explained. With Karen Civil moderating the Q&A, the new movie maker dished on the process of choosing his actors and more for this first ever film. In support of his efforts, Fergie, DJ Mustard, Hit-Boy, Too Short, Ricky Gonzalez, Mack Maine, Trae The Truth, Ty Dolla $ign, and more stepped out for the premiere. Add the short film and accompanying soundtrack to your holiday wish list when Blame It On The Streets hits stores and iTunes on Dec. 15.

He also chose not to reveal anything about the film and encourages viewers to seek out the film and see it themselves. The “Paranoid” artist also says he’ll finally be releasing his debut album, “Free TC,” in March on Atlantic Records. The South Central native also shared his thoughts on the current state of Ferguson, MO., saying it’s a horrible situation that keeps on happening, but that he also believes Ferguson residents shouldn’t destroy their own city out of anger.
