This is it.... WHAT!!!

Back in 1997 a Group who called themselves "Camp Lo" released a song with a upbeat Hook and a catchy Beat. Still to this day "Luchini" is one of my all time favorite Hip Hop songs. I was 10 years old when this song came out and dont remember much of the lyrics and even though I'm ALOT older I still dont understand what they are saying. Regardless the song makes me feel good on the inside when I hear it. "Luchini" is one of those timeless songs that no matter when (or where) you hear it, it always takes you to a place of happiness. (Well at least it does for me).



Camp Lo is an American Hip Hop group formed in 1995 by rappers. Sonny Cheeba (Salahadeen Wilds) and Geechi Suede (Saladine Wallace). They are both from Bronx, New York and have muslim upbringings. The best way to describe thier music is soulful Hip Hop. I listened to a couple of tracks from their debut album "Uptown Saturday Night" and fell in love. Even though Im hearing this album for the first time (14 years later), I can honeslty say Im a fan.

With "Uptown Saturday Night"You dont hear much about drugs, clothes, hoes, P**sy, cars, sex, which is probably why I like it so much. While the rap game is filled with derogatory lyrics that puts us (African Americans) back THOUSANDS of years, is nice to hear what Hip Hop is suppose to be. So Im posting the video "Luchini" and I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do.. PS LADIES CHECK OUT THE GUY AT THE END............ FIIIOONE!

Look Out Artist: J. Cole

J. Cole may seem like he just came out of nowhere but this North Carolina rapper has more Buzz than a Bumblebee. Coles music is a mash up of dusty, soul filled sound beds, raw, energetic drums and an endless range of topics ranging from everything from carefree days of college to the endless plight of those have-nots scrapping for change Cole is here to sway Hip Hop it in a more insightful, meaningful and passionate direction.


Jermaine Cole, better known as his stage name J. Cole, was born in Frankfurt, Germany, and then shortly after moved to Fayetteville, North Carolina, where he was raised by his mother. Since the age of 12 he always knew that he wanted to be a rapper and by age 15 had notebooks filled with Rhymes. He even learned how to produce his music using a beat machine. By the time he graduated high school in 2003 Cole has a surefire way to get signed. He decided that he had a better chance of getting signed in New York City, so he attended St. John's on an academic scholarship. After graduating Cole released his debut mixtape The Come Up, in late 2007, two years later he released his second mixtape the Warm Up. Since then J. Cole has signed to Roc Nation and also appeared on Jay-Z's album The Blueprint 3, on the track "A Star Is Born. Cole has is currently working on his first debut album. If his album is anything like his mixtapes then expect only greatness.
