In the dancehall community recording artist Elephant Man is known as the energy king; I think that Busta Rhymes is the hip-hop equivalent of Elephant Man. Bussa Bus, as he is affectionately called, is one of the most entertaining, energetic and captivating rapper in all of hip-hop.

A few days ago he released the official video for the remix of “Czar.” The collaborative record features CJ and M.O.P.; and all the men were present for the video.

The American multinational technology company Amazon has joined forces with singer, rapper, songwriter and record producer Pharrell Williams to launch a new music remix competition called “Your Voice Is Power.” This contest was created to inspire students to pursue Computer Science.

The first round of the competition will run from ​January 19th through ​March 12​th, while the second round will run from ​March 15th​ through ​June 4th​. Winners will be chosen based on the quality of music, complexity and organization of their code; as well as their inclusion of thoughtful messaging and calls to action about the importance of racial justice.

“Your Voice Is Power” is open to​ all middle and high school students in both Canada and the United States. Click here for additional information.

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times; no other rapper comes close to the level of the Queensbridge MC, Nasir Jones aka Nas. The hip-hop icon is coming off what should be labeled a good year, all things considered (pandemic, no tours etc.).

Towards the end of August, in 2020, Nas released a well received thirteen-track (13) album, “King’s Disease,” and has been busy promoting the project ever since it dropped. He has popped up all over the internet doing interviews on some of the biggest music platforms; and he has been consistent in sharing visuals for the songs featured on the album.

The latest video is for “27 Summers,” track number five. As he has always done, Nas goes big in this clip, spotlighting DJ Khaled, Gabriel ‘G-Code’ Zardes, Steve Stoute and other industry insiders. Click here or on the image above to watch this fabulous video and remember to like, comment and share.
