The Quickness of Derrick Rose and more!
I haven't been this excited about the Chicago Bulls team since Michael Jordan. I use to watch the Bulls every chance I got, because of my love for the game on the court and off the court. Ever since Derrick Rose started it gave me new in watching the NBA period. Luol Deng has also step it up for the Bulls. Joekim Noah has showed his heart and hussle no matter how his skill level is and that's true dedication to greatness. Anyhow check out this video below...Like I always say, Speed Kills!

Rapper: SubsTance
I just dug up some exclusive ish that I didn't even know was going on. Anyhow found this guy called SubsTance performing at a event called "No Excuses". Didn't even know some live band ish was going down like this. I have been looking for a live band to book at a venue on the Northside. Can someone link me to the contact of the band in this video? In the first video below I felt like he came off like Black Thought from the Roots. Then I searched further, I sae that SubsTance has performed at The Bassment, Abbey Pub. Adrianna's etc. and heard a few more joints suck as the second video "Cufflinks" directed by Shaun Cave shauncave.com
I also found him in this Redeye contest and the deadline vote is today.
Here is the link http://blogs.redeyechicago.com/kyles-files/2011/04/14/track-off-finalists-pradagi-edition-listen-and-vote/
I'm definitely feeling the lyrical skill and content. I'm sure I heard or seen this cat before, but I finally got the opportunity to really listen and review. It so many artist in today's industry its hard to see and hear them all. I always say, better late then never.
