“What’s been going on iWrite?”
It’s been a long while. I haven’t posted much to this blog and I’m a little upset with myself about that. One of my short term goals in life is to be more consistent and that’s something that I have to work on everyday. So, with that said, I’m going to try to maintain this blog (and all my others). Look out for more from me. But until then, check out the VOW (Video of the Week):
Wale, a Washington, D.C. based rapper, shares some of his thoughts about love and relationships in his song “Diary” with a little spoken word peice at the end. It’s one of my favorite songs off of his debut album Attention Deficit. The female vocalist is The Songstress herself, Marsha Ambrosius of Floetry.
Mindstate Mixtape
So, after a conversation with one of my avid readers (who shall remain nameless…ahem…thanks Janae!) I got more information about the group in my previous post. Their name is actually Mindstate. After a little research, I found out that one of the founders of Mindstate is actually a Towson Alumna; J Pope is her name. The artists in the video are J Pope, Black Root, Wordslave, and LOVE the Poet. According to their website, Black Root shared his vision for Mindstate Mixtape with J Pope mid-year 2008.
“It [is] a terrific way to promote and support the Baltimore, DC and the Greater Metropolitian area (the DMV) and reach a broader audience of people displaying their talents bestowed upon them.”
The actual mixtape is called Mindstate Mix Vol. 1 and is available on their website. I’ll have another video up real soon from them. Their an awesome group that mixes hip-hop, R&B, poetry and just pure hotness! Be on the look out for another video!
