Nas - The Lost Tapes 2

Mr Jones sure knows how to make a Hip Hop fan's day/month...hell, even year! Yesterday on twitter, Nas announced that he was planning to release a follow-up to his 2002 classic - The Lost Tapes - to be aptly named, The Lost tapes 2.

God's Son later spoke to MTV saying:

"I’m unloading records I want the streets to hear. Cleaning out my hard drives. Gonna do this, then start fresh. I’m dropping my solo LP before the summer of 2011. I love the energy the world has been giving me over the last two years. But now it’s time to focus on owning the streets again."

A new solo LP and a follow-up to what has to be one of my favourite Nas albums...what more could a girl ask for?

Willow Smith - I Wip My Hair

I know I'm late on this now, but I had to give Willow Smith a word. If you haven't heard her first track yet - I Wip My Hair - then check it out below.



Willow, 9, appeared on Ryan Seacrest's radio show in the States, to talk about her new independent stardom, when who should be on the phone but Hov, who recently signed Willow to RocNation. Having Jigga call you a star would out a smile on anyone's face.



So, who's going to be next from the Smith family?

Diggy & DJ Spin King - Airborne [MIXTAPE]

Credit where it's due, Diggy "son of Rev Run" Simmons, has been making independent moves over the last year. His first mixtape The First Flight turned out to be very well received, and the wait for his sophomore effort, has me thinking that this one will fair even better. Judge for yourself, and check the tracklist for the famous guest apperances (I'm guessing even Daddy didn't have a hand in this)...

Notting Hill Carnival

Last weekend was the August bank holiday, which once again saw the streets of Notting Hill filled up with carnival-goers. I thought I'd share with you some of the photos we took. Most of our time was spent at the Naija Corner which I featured a few posts ago. Banky W made his apperance as expected and 9ice also hit the stage to make this year's Naija corner the biggest one yet.
