Cocaine Mafia+Current

The reason I'm putting this video up is because i think its important to know what problems are affecting where. I'm pretty sure everybody is still fixed on the South Americas and rightly so. But problems change and migrate depending on the factors involved. Low boarder control, government corruption and African migration to the European continent have strengthened the connection of traffickers and west Africa. Its important to know what is going on where you come from regardless of what is currently being pushed in the media.

A short documentary showing the growing movement of cocaine to the African continent.

88Keys on a "tropical quest"

Funny story about how 88Keys met some hip hop legends for the first time as a young boy. But most importantly it made me think hes been putting in work since he was 14 years old finding samples, working with obscure people before the scene and money was what it is today. It takes time to be successful and alot of consistent hard work.

Wolverine: Old Man Logan Last Issue+September 23rd 2009

Long awaited Old Man Logan #73 is to be released September 23rd. Artist/Writer Mark Millar has posted a shot of cover art on his forum and had this to say:

"Got the first few pages from McNiv......and they are McNIFICIENT! Honestly, I thought he definied Wolvie best last issue with that last page, but you will poop your pants yet again when you see page three here."

Wolverine: Old Man Logan

"MARK MILLAR and STEVE MCNIVEN bring us the most important WOLVERINE story of the 21st Century. Nobody knows what happened on the night the heroes fell. All we know is that they disappeared and evil triumphed and the bad guys have been calling the shots ever since. What happened to Wolverine is the biggest mystery of all.

For 50 years, no one has heard hide nor hair from him…and in his place stands an old man called Logan. A man concerned only about his family. A man pushed to the brink by the HULK GANG. A man forced to help an old friend—the blind archer, HAWKEYE—to drive three thousand miles to secure his family’s safety. Get ready for the ride of your life, Logan."
