NEW GRIT BOYS VIDEO WORLD PREMIER OF FRESH FEATURING TUM TUM AND TRAE!!!!Scion Presents Little Brother in Houston!

Man it went the hell down last night. Little Brother backed by the band Orgonne just straight rippin' thangs! Grit Boys were going to open up, but things didn't quite work out, so for all y'all who missed them, here's the NEW VIDEO FOR FRE$H!

Click here to view the screencast

Feel the real! Grit Boys album is the best album to come out of Houston in a long time save for Devin the Dude, who in my opinion is on a whole nother level than just rap. So don't hate, get that Grit Boys album. It doesn't sound like FRE$H, it's even fresher.

Anyway last night was another magnanimous Scion event at Warehouse Live. I'm telling you every one of these shows has been off the chain, but Little Brother really surprised me. I've seen them before, hell I saw them a few weeks ago, but backed by LA's Orgonne, they were like one of the best rap groups I ever saw in my life. Seriously they kilt it.


As eveidenced by the action in the crowd.


Shit was wild.




New friend and old influence, Willie D joined them on stage and said something like "Them boys on the east coast wanna say hip hop is dead, but I'ma tell you right now that shit ain't dead, it's alive right here with these boys! He gave it up HUGE to Little Brother.

Apple's iPhone is finally out!!

Apple's eagerly awaited and (grossly) over-hyped iPhone has finally arrived as promised on the 29th of June, 2007. Love it or hate it, but you can't ignore it. The iPhone will hit Indian shores in early 2008 though, insiders say that it could be as early as as November 2007.

Unofficially though, you can get the iPhone pretty soon from the grey markets of National Bazar or Majestic Area in Bangalore for around Rs. 30,000. Since the phone is locked i.e. Apple has tied up for an exclusive tie up with AT&T, you can get it unlocked for anything between Rs. 1,000 to Rs. 1,500 to make it work with any GSM network in India.


Needless to say, entertainment companies have come out with special iPhone ready trailers and movies. A wide collection of downloadable media items.

The large screen of the iPhone means you can thoroughly enjoy videos/movies and hopefully this one factor should itself drive sales here in India. I for one just can't wait to get my hands on the iPhone. The phone it too cool to be ignored. Do let me know what you think about the iPhone, whether you would buy one or not and more importantly, what would you do with the awesome multimedia capabilities of the iPhone in the comments.
