RAPPER LOON ARRESTED in DUBAI?
In the words of Illseed (allhiphop.com), "Former Bad Boy artist Loon was supposed to do a performance on Tuesday night in Dubai at a club called Chi, alongside DJ Marvelous. The show Marv was advertised as Diddy's official DJ and obviously Loon is a former rapper. One of the people I know told me that they got a phone call a few hours before the gig saying that Loon wouldn't be showing up. Why? Apparently, Loon had some difficulty leaving the United States. Later, the story gets fleshed out a bit more and word got around that Loon was arrested at the airport. So, Loon had two international shows set up, one in Dubai and the other in Oman."

THE SOUTH AFRICAN FUGEES?
Not! But like the Fugees, this Hip Hop Kwaito trio out of South Africa is a force to be reckoned with. Check out this brief intro:

Anyone who knows anything about South African Hip Hop knows Bongo Maffin. Many US-Hip-Hop-centric folk compare them to the Fugees because they consist of 2 guys and a gal. Thandiswa, like Lauryn, is also a fiercely talented conscious lyricist, songwriter and singer, and is revered in many of the same ways Lauryn is. Flava talked to Thandiswa when she dropped her solo project a couple of years ago and we loved her! (Cop her project Zabalaza and the whole Bongo Maffin catalogue lol.) You know Flava likes to rep the global Hip Hop movement and promote our Hip Hop brothers and sistas worldwide. Those of you who are unfamiliar with Kwaito (Quite-oh). It is the urban music of South Africa. It's sound is influenced by the house music that came of out Europe and America in the 80's. It is then fused with their own local styles and of course Hip Hop, Soul, & Reggae (and anything else they feel inspired to add). Their music is fierce, energy contagious, their lyrical content thought-provoking. You may not understand all the lyrics in this following video, the way- kungakhona, but check the vibe. I think it is really interesting when they are dressed in some traditional garb and are standing like statues and spectacles in some sort of an art exhibit while (white) people come in and stare at them...YOU KNOW they droppin some insight! Enjoy.
South Africa STAND UP!

Can we say M-J-B....H-O-V?
As we announced a while ago, Jay-Z and Mary J Blige have been touring North America together. Not sure yet if a world tour is in the works, but as u know, rumor has it that they will be releasing a CD together, similar to the Best of Both Worlds that Jay did with caught-on-tape-pedophile-at-large R Kelly. This song that has been circulating on the net has added fuel to the fire. What do u think if it? Listen/download here
FLAVA, reppin' the global Hip Hop movement!
