Big L's "Return Of The Devil's Son" To Be Released On 11-23-2010 On the 10-year anniversary of Big L's first posthumous release going Gold, his family releases brand new album with 21-unreleased songs New York, NY – SMC Recordings, along with Distrolord Inc, is set for a huge release from New York rapper Big L, close to 12 years after his death. Since his passing, albums have been released under the guise of the Big L imprint, but none except his sophomore release was official. Ten years later, Big L fans will be able to enjoy all unreleased material with his newest album Return of the Devil’s Son and know that this is an official project backed by his family. “This album is supported 100% by the Big L family.” Said Big L’s older brother Donald Phinazee “I’ve been talking about this album for the last six years and it means everything to me. This is an original Big L album and I’m excited to put my brother out.” Lamont Coleman aka Big L, a witty and lyrical Harlem rapper, was buzzing in the underground hip-hop scene in the early 90’s; running with the likes of Cam’Ron and Mase, who shot to stardom during this time. His Columbia Records debut in 1995 was mildly successful commercially but vastly influential artistically. Then in 1999 when he was just 24, Big L was tragically killed and the case still remains unsolved. Around this time, an independently released single was getting spins on local radio and in 2000 his posthumous second album (“The Big Picture”) was received by acclaim and phenomenal sales. Return of the Devil’s Son has 21 unreleased songs, including “Right To The Top" featuring Royal Flush and Kool G Rap. “This album will show where he should have been and where he was about to go. It’s going on 12-years since he’s been gone. He would have been that one; this project will show where he should have been at,” said Donald Phinazee. Return of the Devil’s Son on Distrolord/SMC Recordings will be available online and in stores November 23, 2010.

DAMU ON DRUMS, Part 1 - Damu The Fudgemunk / Redefinition RecordsJasiri X - What if the Tea Party was Black?Jasiri X is a MC, Activist and Entrepreneur. He burst on the scene with the controversial hit song FREE THE JENA 6 which was named Hip-hop Political Song of the Year. He followed that up with the groundbreaking Hip-Hop news series "This Week With Jasiri X". Each Episode features Jasiri X reporting the National news over the hottest beats. A few months ago, Tim Wise wrote a widely circulated article called, "Imagine if the Tea Party Was Black " which challenged America to take a close look at the hypocrisy of the Right Wing. Now, a Pittsburgh rapper is accepting his challenge in true Hip Hop form. Jasiri X has released a video called "What if the Tea Party was Black." The Hip Hop artist says that he got the idea when Paradise,a member of the pro-black rap group X-Clan, forwarded him a copy of Wise's article. "I saw the article and I liked the concept," says the rapper. So Jasiri hit the studio with producer Cynik Lethal while Paradise grabbed his video camera and they went on their mission to defeat the Right Wing propaganda machine. Real Gangstas
