He’s one of the most revered identities in the American hip hop scene, as a crucial member of the legendary Wu-Tang Clan. He is Ghostface Killah, and he’s finally heading to Australia for his first ever antipodean tour!
Hailing from New York’s Staten Island, Ghostface took his moniker from the villain in seminal kung-fu film Ninja Checkmate, and early in his career was never be seen without a mask covering his face (so the story goes, he was concealing his identity as he was wanted by the police).
As well as featuring on Wu-Tang’s seminal 1993 album Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), Ghostface has also maintained a healthy career as a solo artist, dropping his first album Iron Man in 1996 and more recently The Big Doe Rehab in 2007.
For his debut visit down under, Ghostface Killah will be joined by fellow Theodore Unit artists Wigs, Trife, Du Lilz and DJ J-Love:

[Chorus] I can’t wait I can’t wait ’til you get old enough I’m being patient But I can’t wait ’til you get old enough So I can cutcha’ So I can cutcha’ up
You look so young But still look good The way the sun is shining on you And I would if I could Try to take a little piece of you and break you off But you’re not quite ready I got to hold steady And try to control myself Cause if I start on you now there’ll be nothing left I can’t help it I guess it’s just the way you smell You’re growing up fast and quite well You’re looking kind of thirsty Let me give you some water But not too much You know what? We oughtta Just move And get away from it all Cause if people see us together You know that they’ll call the laws And try to keep us apart It’s you and me from the start You got the key to my heart You taste sweet yet tart When I hit it But right now I can’t get it But when you come of age We’ll go our separate ways
[Chorus]
Some folks think I ain’t right They try to label me But I can’t wait to lay you on the table see When I’m in the mood I think of you Wishing that I can hold you while I drink a brew It’s true a love like this never exists long As soon as you get grown I know you’re gonna get gone In the wind somewhere But that’s how life goes But for now let’s take picture together uhh.. nice pose I’m tired of hiding I want everybody to see How we get along so happily You and me Need to go somewhere where the penalty lessens When they something like you in my possession I could leave you alone But I wouldn’t feel right And if they lock me up for it We’ll be still tight I know you can’t write But I’ll be back To pull you by the hairs and lay you in the sack
Oddisee’s new Hip Hop Supergroup… Production bangs on a few beats, namely the title track. When is the day when Oddisee starts getting some shine for his beats i don’t know?!?
He’s back. After years and years (and years) of false starts and delays, our man Maxwell will finally drop a new album in 2009. Exhibit A is the official first single, “Pretty Wings,” which was released online by Columbia Records this morning. The official release date for BLACKsummers’night, which will be Maxwell’s fourth studio album (and first in eight long years), isn’t until July 7, 2009. But judging by the first single, it’ll be worth the wait. “It’s about the last relationship I had,” Maxwell said about the song during a recent interview. “How you meet the person of your dreams but at the wrong time … the song is a testament to what I wanted to say and say, to her.”
Melbourne boy Daniel Merriweather has released the video for his first single of his debut album. I actually heard about this via Samantha Ronson’s Twitter. Word to social media. Apparently dude did a duet with Adele too. Keen as on this album. This joint should smash it. It’s essentially Brit-Pop but a real smart move for a first single.

Informative? Yes. Boring? No!
Pro Juice is fast paced, shoot from the hip, music video style programming. Professionally produced, but alternatively ‘pro-juiced’, original stories cut hard to provide informative and entertaining viewing. With a high use of bold design and new music, Pro Juice visually and sonically represents the medium it is dissecting.
Pro Juice is presented by energetic, creative and arguably humorous, music producer, Arlo Enemark. A natural entertainer and expressive speaker, he guides viewers through the various feature segments, interviews and tutorials.
Man… it may look like all we post about Drake a lot on themovementfam.com blog, but the dude just keeps poppin’ up in the news!!
Drizzy Drake is making his name more recognized as days pass. He’s been garnering attention, respect and accolades recently, and it seems that the future looks bright for the young, Young Money star, who is already rumored to be working with Just Blaze and Jay-Z. (Just between you and me, I’m a bit stiff in my pants…pause..)
In a recent interview with Joe Budden for JoeBuddenTV, Drake spoke up about disses and more.
After saying he was humbled by recent success, he added that he could not believe what he has achieved.
“I never thought it would come this far,” he noted. Later, he added that he would never diss other emcees.
“Diss me, you’ll never get a reply,” he noted, saying he would never disrespect another emcee on wax.
He went on to address rumors of a beef brewing with Kid Cudi.
“They keep trying to create a problem between me and Cudi. I love that guy, man…I listen to his music.“
Drake‘s success has taken off so much that he recently sold out a May 2, 2009 Atlanta show in just five hours. Courtesy of HipHopDx.com
Pure raw rhyming. It’s hard not to appreciate such a long winding, rare breath paused verbal barrage that Cappadonna served up here in the classic 96′ ‘Ironman‘ album. Being lyrical doesn’t always mean you have to drop knowledge, concept or cultured vocabulary. Sometimes the beauty of rhyming can be best seen in it’s most simple form. ‘Winter Warz’ verse by the cab-driving Cappa aint’ pretty, it’s straight from the Staten Island ghetto. Check the hostility….

Lil’ Wayne sits down with the ladies of The View yesterday to talk about his childhood, tattoos (Can I read your face for a second? haha), his education, kids, drugs, his new album Rebirth and more. At the end he performs Prom Queen.
