Kony2012/Cover The Night Report from @TastyKeish



Entice me on the Facebook, independent stage-crook, leader of the free world...! - Ysterday's Motorvation

FHHN friend TastyKeish of WBAI's Rise Up Radio, went to see how real the KONY movement really is offline. Very interesting how the elaborate the promotion looks a campaign for someone name KONY running for office in 2012. The last time I checked, people don't wear garments and brandish colorful posters of villains in order to create awareness about their treachery. Looks like some geniuses found a way to exploit the naivete of our youth who are driven to affect change in any way they're convinced that they can do so.

Dreamchasers (Remix) by Marcus Phresh



Always to good to see a young man express feelings in a genuine way on a record about something real to him. Takes a certain amount venerability to sing your message, but also an equal amount of strength and confidence to share it.

Adult Rappers by @pawlmadethis

This looks interesting. But in order for a film like this to be made and distributed, well you need $'s. Show your support by contributing to the Kickstarter. Don't wait till it gets made and search for a torrent unless of course they decide to offer it up as such...

Method Man and @Bigstat 2AM Marriott Cypher

Lil B's NYU Lecture

Man. I love y’all, man. I hope this table don’t fall and everything stays smooth. First off, NYU I want to say I love you. And thank each and every one of you, every beautiful person in the building, every legend, every historical human being. You know, every future legend in the building, man. I’m in the building with the future. Y’all going to be helping me when things get hard for me. That’s what I hope. I hope everybody leaves this conversation together feeling like family. This is not everybody listening to me, this is everybody is a part of it. If you feel compelled to say something in your heart, please do, because at the end of the day we all have something to teach, and we all have something to say.

Player Hating: A Love Story

Definition: Player Hating- Someone else is about to shine, and you’ll do anything to keep that motherfucker from getting his cheese — it can be as subtle as negative flow (lyrics) or as extreme as trying to clap (shoot) him. – Trent Bond, Half’s Manager and former NYPD Detective
Half-a-Mill is a 26 year old hip hop artist from the Albany Projects in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. By the time he was seven, Half was sharing a gun with his brother, ‘cause he was sick of people putting their guns in his face in the elevator of his building, and not being able to do anything about it. Half’s been running with the same ten guys, since he was real little, and they’re his crew. But he’s the one that will take all of them out of the projects because he’s been signed by the indie music label, Warlock Records. Half and his crew are doing most of the work to launch his first album Milion, but that’s ok because there’s the chance they’ll blow up, and Half wants that so bad he can taste it, and he’ll do whatever he has to do, in order to support himself, his family and his music.

Player Hating: A Love Story follows Half-a-Mill and his Brooklyn crew, The Godfia Criminals, as they struggle to launch Milion, in an effort to attain money, success and recognition through music. Player Hating delves intimately into the lives of young “thugs”, and takes the viewer into an underground world of poverty, alienation, gangs, violence and music that most audience members have an inkling of, but few rarely see—unless they’ve lived it.
