Fashawn Feat. Talib Kweli "Life's A Bitch"


Download: Fashawn – Life’s A Bitch (feat. Talib Kweli)

This is off the upcoming mixtape with Green Lantern entitled Ode To Illmatic. Risky move covering a classic album but should be interesting nonetheless.  Fashawn explains this is nothing more than paying tribute to one of his favorite MCs. Good to see a 20 year inspired by a real MC...

The RZA: Victory or Death Series

If art is your thing, then this may be for you. Features original RZA handprints forming the Wu "W". All pieces named, numbered & signed. Check www.whenartimitateslife.com for more info

XXLMag.com: Out of all the famous bodies of work out there, why’d you select the Washington Crossing the Delaware painting to re-envision?

RZA: Wu-Tang is a pioneer of hip-hop. Wu-Tang started a revolution of music and ideas that wasn’t involved in music prior to us and George Washington is the first American president. He started a whole new world. He had to fight for that. He had to go through a struggle for that. “Victory or Death” was his struggle.
