While all of these artists have their own style respectively, not too many of them had a voice as distinct as the emcee whose given name is Earl Stevens. Read the review of The Mail Man

This past Thursday, NBA superstar LeBron James finally answered the question that media had been asking for years on end. For the longest, James said that his decision would largely be based on the best opportunity to win multiple championships, but what about hip-hop?

Northeastern Ohio sports fans added “The Decision” to the other letdowns in Cleveland sports history. The Drive. The Fumble. The Shot. The Move. All mark a time when Cleveland seemed to be on the cusp of achievement, only to have it all slip away in a painful-yet-familiar twist of fate.

Nerds the world over have always waited in long lines and camped out to get their hands on the latest products such as the Xbox 360, the iPhone and the recently released iPad. Who says that self proclaimed Fat Boys (like myself) and foodies won’t do the same for the latest in culinary delights?

Obviously familiar with the material, the crowd recited nearly every word with Tha Ripper as he delivered an array of songs from his various mixtapes, including his recently released “The Cleveland Show”.

Mark the Prophetional is a Columbus, Ohio based artist who serves a higher power. His messages like “Love God”, “Love each other”, “Be just”, and “Love mercy” are some of the creeds he lives by. His Facebook fan page boasts over 800 fans and is growing more by the day. While many are drawn to his genuine nature and his sincerity, even more are taken by his character and integrity.

The entire planet seemed to be up in arms about an impending doom that so many had predicted would come. There were tons of films and television shows that raked in tons of earnings by playing the “world’s gonna end” card, but in the world of music, no one did it better than Busta Rhymes.

The King Arts Complex’s Pythian Theater played host to a massive fund-raising effort to support victims of the recent earthquake in Haiti. BLAKstar Media, R.E.A.C.H.
