I’ve been anticipating this FREE mixtape since ScholarMan told me it was dropping a couple weeks back. “Hiroshima Fusion” is an EP that fuses the jazzy and soulful music of 70s rock band Hiroshima with ScholarMan’s brand of hip-hop. “Hiroshima Fusion” is the first of many Soganic Music free projects to expect in 2010, and features K-Mynez, Kahli Abdu, Teisha Marie and Verronica Styles.

ScholarMan “Free Spirit of a Troubled Soul” Album Review
“Free Spirit of a Troubled Soul” is probably the perfect title for this album. ScholarMan has created a happy, feel-good, relaxing, soulful hip-hop record. While most of the albums I’ve been bumping recently have been ones I listen to on the train to work, shit that helps get me amped up for the hustle, this is the one I listen to every night when I come home to unwind from often busy and stress-filled days. It’s got a real peaceful vibe that helps me relax, and we all need that type of hip-hop from time to time. (more…)

This week’s underground hip-hop track of the week is ScholarMan’s Hood Stories Vol. 4, from his new album “Free Spirit Of A Troubled Soul” – which I been bumping nonstop since finally getting around to listening to it last week. ScholarMan has included a Hood Stories track in each of his last four albums, and each contains relevant lyrics and interesting storytelling. Vol. 4 is about a Iraq war veteran with post traumatic stress syndrome. Click below to listen to Hood Stories Vol. 4:

And be sure to follow along with the lyrics after the break. (more…)

ScholarMan has already released two singles with videos in preparation for his upcoming album “Free Spirit of a Troubled Soul” – which is scheduled to drop Jan 5. Now he has released this 10 minute audio preview of the album. If you like some of snippets you hear here, check out Scholar’s videos for Reap, Sow and I Love Hip-Hop Music.

Brand new video from ScholarMan, off his upcoming album “Free Spirit of a Troubled Soul” – which is dropping in January.

Article: “Has Hip-Hop Had an Adverse Effect on Our Young?” by ScholarMan
The other day while I was updating my account on Twitter, I noticed a “re-tweet” from an associate of mine. For those new to Twitter lingo, a re-tweet is when you re-post something someone already posted, including the original author to give them credit for their post. For the sake of non-name dropping I will leave their account names out. 

The re-tweet was this: 

“i HATE to say it but truly think hip hop had an adverse effect on a lotta brotha’s character development [folks gon b mad i said it]

2:07 PM Sep 15^th”  (more…)
