The event took place in DC, Sunday Nov 15th as Rakim was in town for a show at the Black Cat. It’s 10 years or so since he has released an album and the “Seventh Seal” is his latest. The meet & greet was presented by DCtoBC & StussyDC. I heard it was a very successful event. I was on the road back to the DMV from NC when it was going on soooo I missed it :o(

I was out on an errand but shout out to the HTC Ozone that I have noe (along with the BB) I was able to view it! I watched this video like 5 times last night. The fashion, colors, creativity..everythning is on point. It was directed by Hype Williams and I think having Lady Gaga on this extended remix is HOT!

So I was on Twitter checking on my timeline and saw Lloyd post that the cover to his upcoming EP “Like Me: The Young Goldie EP” cover has been revealed (above) and will be coming out in December (no actual sate yet) I, for one am looking forward to the EP. I have really enjoyed his record with Lil Wayne titled “Pusha”.

Excerpt from “Young Goldie” Blog:

Lloyd is set to release an independent EP project this December titled Like Me: The Young Goldie EP. Of the project, Lloyd says, “Some of the music is a lot more personal than in the past. It’s about my life. I wanted to tell my own story instead of letting others define who I am”. The EP will feature the new single, “Pusha” feat. Lil Wayne (produced by The Runners), plus 6 additional tracks with appearances by Bun-B, J. Holiday, Nicki Minaj, Juelz Santana, Richboy, Drake and others.
