Check out this video from CT’s rap duo Mook and Fair. This video has been out for a while now, but I still catch myself busting out with “Who’s your daddy? Is he rich like meeeeeeee?”… and I definitely can’t sing. I’ve had the opportunity to work with these guys on some of their latest projects, coming out soon. They are down-to-earth, silly people… who have immense drive for music. When I was living in the ATL, I didn’t know about them… same way people up here are slow to learn of down south music. So, let’s just all get connected, why don’t we? I will be posting the video I did makeup for mooknfair soon… but in the meantime, check out who’s your daddy, sidekick feat. ray j, and who can I run to? Keep up with @mooknfair on twitter and via their website www.mooknfair.com.

A Classic.

Written in 1964 by Simon & Garfunkel, after the aftermath of the Kennedy assassination.

“Hello darkness, my old friend
I’ve come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
‘Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

“Fools”, said I, “You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you”
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, “The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls”
And whispered in the sounds of silence”

-Simon & Garfunkel “Sound of Silence”

LOVE IS DEAD MIXTAPE by freshiam

We’ve all popped bottles and bopped to ‘N****s in Paris.’ After all, the ATL is known as Black Hollywood, plus Jay and ‘Ye have that power over the masses. Now, Yasiin Bey (aka Mos Def) has responded to the track in his own way. ‘N****s in Poorest’ takes the opposing view of a black man’s life in today’s society. White the Throners praise designer labels and million dollar whips, Yasiin looks at the racism and poverty that plagues the African-American community. Take a listen and pay attention.

AmericanCOOL Live Music Series is a multi-dimensional platform celebrating things that make America better, specifically music, design, fashion, philanthropy, and social entrepreneurship.

The series was created in partnership with brand and event strategist Wil May and architect Graham Knox.  Both, May and Knox, are musicians with a knack for intelligent design and a soft spot for social issues, and will release music projects this Fall, AmericanCOOL and Boomtown, respectively.  The idea behind AmericanCOOL was to create a music event that could potentially affect change in the community, activate great design, and cause a diverse group of entities to engage and feel invested.

And of course, you can’t be AmericanCOOL without a little bootlegging (a la the Kennedy’s).  So…
