Is he listening to Pac? I think so. As Common leaves the set of Queen Latifah’s “Fast Car” video shoot, he drops a quick vlog and talks Michael Vick. Let that man live!

No Ill Will Records. The G Count hooks up with young gun ILL Will for an Al Green-infused head nodder.

Marvo & The-The-The-The Cannon (Cannon).  Sorry, it’s too much fun to type (and say) that. All jokes aside, Vo continues to fill his tracks with heart felt lyrics, that touch on the current events of today and not just the hogwash you’re predisposed to. This track is set to appear on MarVo’s upcoming mixtape, The Vobama Administration…
