Return of the Mack

No, really I feel I like Mark Morrison on some return of the mack type stuff right now. Been really busy working on the site + I'm finding out that trying to get a job is a actual job in itself.

I've decided to go southpaw and not concentrate on the application process so much but utilize the professional network I already have. That being said, a 20min phone conversation w/ a colleague of mine(senior recruiter) and two pages of notes later(a few dir. of buis dev. contact infos) , I can say I'm on the right path for 2009 with several positions I applied for. It doesn't stop there. I've got a few other positions I need to do the same for. I'm somewhat connected. Looking for a job? I suggested you do the same because someone you know knows at least something about a open position somewhere.



2009
All of my friends say the same thing, "2009 is my year". Hopefully, the economy will be better, so it can be everyones year. Corny??? Working hard should pay off and not pay under. With that said congrats to the December graduates.

We've MOVED...

I'm now posting my articles & mixes + mixtapes on seeyouinmynightmares.com

RIDE THE WAVE...

I'm sitting at the stoplight on the way to work trying to gather my thoughts about how I should feel about our new president.

Accomplishment. Amazement.

As soon as Virginia was counted for Obama, changing my state's alignment of being historically republican, a sense of accomplishment was followed by amazement as our nation elected the first black president.

My vote seemed to matter. It better had. I drove in the rain from Norfolk to Richmond at around 4:45am to vote. Then I waited in line from 6:30 to around 8:15 only for them to tell me that I wasn't in the books. I was shocked because I doubted that I was even registered.

Fast forward. Flawless victory.

Jesse Jackson's tears were priceless. He should've been crying because at that moment he realized he was a Hater. He told Obama he would cut his nuts off???Obama's was response was completely the way it should've been. Tactful and respectful.

What does this mean?

I can't think of a time in history where you could feel more proud to be an American. This event in history inspires the whole world, not just our nation. Throughout the day I've been reminding myself that my president is black. The actuality of the situation still seems foreign.

Regardless, I'll be purchasing a couple of newspapers today to hold for later on down the road, because like a friend of mine said, " This isn't going to happen again for a minute." Correct. Hopefully, we will be blessed to have him serve 8 years.

BIG NEWS concerning Charles Hamitlon & Grade A

Ok, that cake leaves a lot to be desired, but 70,000 hits...WOW. That's really all I can say. To anyone who has ever visited this site, referred anyone to this site, hell, even if you hated on this site...I SAY THANK YOU!!! Words can't even really express how grateful I am for the love this site is receiving. I know Grade A isn't on the level of a Hear It First or a 2DopeBoyz, but damn, if we aren't one of the most up and coming sites for music (and news), then color me stupid. I'm trying to get 100,000 hits by the end of the year, and I'm confident we can make that happen. Yea, I know I sound like I'm on my Barack Obama sh*t right now with all this "we" talk, but that's really what it is. If I didn't have people coming to the site, I wouldn't keep doing this. Be on the look out for CollegeRadioMusic.com, that's another site I am writing for. Don't worry, nothing is going to happen to Grade A except we are going to keep getting expanding the brand. Hopefully, soon, I can incorporate a radio station so when you come here, your favorite songs (and exclusives) will be playing.

But on to the BIG NEWS (well at least it is to me). By now, I'm sure most of you are in tune with Charles Hamilton, Demevolist and The Hamiltonization Process. Charles has been releasing mixtape after mixtape for the past couple of months and his buzz is growing expotentially. He just released The L Word earlier today. Soon, Charles Hamilton & Demevolist will be releasing a tape with Grade A & College Radio entitled, F.I.N.A.L.S. It's an acronym for F*ck, I Never Actually Learned Sh*t. As much as I would love to take credit for that name, I have to give that to a couple of people I went to high school with...damn, have I really been out of high school for almost 5 years?

Anyway, yeah, be on the lookout for that exclusive. Who would have thought when Grade A was first launched on August 7, 2008, that within three months we would be doing a tape with one of the top underground artists in the game? Blessed...that's all I can say.

I'm out though...gotta be back to work at 5 and I'm trying to catch a nap before then. Keep grindin' and keep struggling...cause at least you know you haven't quit. Those are my words of wisdom for the day.

--J. Tinsley

P.S. R.I.P. Julian King and to Jennifer Hudson's mother and brother. Damn shame...

Jabari speaks with Max B pt. 2

The second installment with Jabari's interview with the wavy one himself (and now Byrd Gang free), Max B.

Mick Boogie & Terry Urban present: Viva La Hova

Mick Boogie & Terry Urban put this tape together, so you already know it's got the official stamp of approval. In my opinion, you can't really go wrong with this combo because both of their styles mesh well with one anohter. Don't believe me, find that Lost! (remix) with Coldplay and Jay and tell me that didn't have your eardrums in a stupor. As far as this release goes, Hov's rhymes + Coldplay's backdrops= quite a damn good tape.

Former Soulja Boy DJ, SouthaBred, responds to Soulja Boy and he GOES IN!! He brings up specific instances of a not so generous Soulja Boy such as not making sure the people in his camp were paid and when he almost fired Arab for messing up an ad-lib.
