First, I would like to offer my sincerest condolences to the homie ScholarMan on the recent passing of his father. Scholar is one of the realest people I know, and I’m sure a lot of that can be attributed to his pops. In honor of him, Scholar dropped this FREE EP on Father’s Day – filled with tracks that are fatherhood inspired. The “Fatherhood Dreamlovers Mix” EP was created with samples borrowed from The Dreamlovers, a favorite doo wop group of ScholarMan’s pops. The EP features artists Anonamas and Silent War.

I been waiting for this to drop officially since I was lucky enough to get a special sneak peak of it last week. “Indomitable Will” is the most recent in a countless list of dope FREE albums from ScholarMan and Soganic Music. “Indomitable Will” features rhymes from K-Mynez, TrueBless, Kats, SoloCypher, Lolo Life’, Chima Anya and BEveready, as well as production by Lagbara, Jonesy, X3M, Labmatik, Ardel Limbo and Overlor and Reign.

This is a brand new video for ScholarMan’s Hopes & Dreams, a track from his new album “Free Spirit of a Troubled Soul.” Video was directed by Marques Green of QueFilms featuring Karmia Berry and Lagbara.
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…)

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]
Brand new video for I Love Hip-Hop Music from ScholarMan’s upcoming album, “Free Spirit of a Troubled Soul” – which is scheduled to drop in January. Track features Soganic Music labelmate K-Mynez.
