Aight, so it's time for another one of my playlists,

drummer along with other Ohio-area drummers, with
the first track off their album Feel Good Together

and Kareem, better know as Duble R and Broadway,
with their new material. Album will be called
At The Speed Of Life, and is coming soon-ish.

Spike Lee has been connected to the Jordan

or the Mars Blackmon ad campaign, so it's nice to see the
JB paying tribute to him.
