Reiterating his desire to round up members of Pink Floyd to make a guest appearance on the project, Fiasco conceded, “Nothing has developed yet. But once the stew gets swirling and people start talking, you never know. I hope it does work out.” “The Cool” will be the follow-up to last year’s “Lupe Fiasco’s Food & Liquor,” which earned three Grammy nominations. Between studio sessions, Fiasco will break away for performances at Lollapalooza in Chicago in early August and the Bumbershoot festival in Seattle in early September. He has also recently worked with Japanese rapper Big O on the track “City Wings,” a remix of Musiq’s “Buddy” and on a track from Atlantic labelmate Kevin Michaels’ upcoming debut. source

San Francisco-based singer/songwriter Nya Jade has already drawn acclaim throughout the Bay Area for her unique music, a bold blend of sounds utterly unbound by genre, unified by Nya’s passionate, perceptive vocals. As an entrepreneur, Nya is also at the helm of the new “do-it-yourself” movement in music and major national critics are taking notice. Born in the West African country of Ghana and raised around the world, this Stanford educated artist created her own record label to do music her way. The duality of working as both artist and record label head has made her an exciting person to watch in the ever changing landscape of the music industry.

“You’re the private school girl with your skirt rolled up.

Showing off what you don’t even got yet.

You need to button up your blouse and put back on your vest.

Because, you’re out here looking a mess.

You must be trying to catch a cold?” - Tiffany Evans

Finally, a young lady who is critiquing all the shit that’s wrong with the media. Hopefully, we can get some elegant videos and have her show these chicks how it’s done. Thank you so much Kezia for the track.
