Leaving Denver this morning was a harrowing fucking experience. Twelve hours and a pound of pad thai later, I find myself in Flagstaff, AZ, and with hardly enough energy to post. Peep the roundup:

Both Miss Info and eskay quip on Prodigy of Mobb Deep's 30 more days of freedom. Though P hasn't done much for me lately, his recent piece in XXL was something else: dude spoke from a hospital bed while being treated for sickle cell, and it was real talk indeed. Now if only I could find a fucking link to that one.

I love AZ, and with last year's brilliant album, The Format, I'm counting the days until his new disc drops. In the meantime, Nah Right has a preview of what AZ is offering up.

From Crate Kings, links to an 8 part panel discussion on the future of the music industry. I don't have enough free time to dig into this right now, but feel free to waste your own workday on it.
