Trip Lee, was born and raised in Dallas, USA. As a young boy, Lee had dreams of being a professional athlete or famous rapper, and he began to hone his lyrical skills at the age of 12. "I rapped about random stuff...how hot I was, how many girls I could pull," Trip says. But upon giving his life to Christ, at age 14, his focus changed from fortune, fame, and women to serving and ministering the Gospel. Lee slowly recognized that all of his life should be centered around Christ. "One day, I just decided, I'm only doing Christian hip hop. Rappers like Ambassador and Da Truth helped provide a model for how I would begin to do that," he says. He also had an immense desire to learn and teach the Word of God. In 2004, Lee met Lecrae at a concert; months later, after talking and building with each other, Lecrae began to disciple him. Lee signed with Reach Records, and his debut album, If They Only Knew, was released a few days after his high school graduation. His first full-length album introduced hip- hop fans to his distinct southern sound, unique delivery and gospel-saturated lyrics. 2011 brings new challenges and Trip's latest offering 'The Good Life' is sure to get young people to focus on the Gospel of Christ. ... less

Snitching: Criminal Informants and the Erosion of American Justice - Alexandra Natapoff

Although it is nearly invisible to the public, criminal snitching has invaded the American legal system in risky and sometimes shocking ways. Snitching is the first comprehensive analysis of this powerful and problematic practice, in which informant deals generate unreliable evidence, allow criminals to escape punishment, endanger the innocent, compromise the integrity of police work, and exacerbate tension between police and poor urban residents. Driven by dozens of real-life stories and debacles, the book exposes the social destruction that snitching can cause in high-crime African American neighborhoods, and how using criminal informants renders our entire penal process more secretive and less fair. Natapoff also uncovers the farreaching legal, political, and cultural significance of snitching: from the war on drugs to hip hop music, from the FBI's mishandling of its murderous mafia informants to the new surge in white collar and terrorism informing. She explains how existing law functions and proposes new reforms. By delving into the secretive world of criminal informants, Snitching reveals deep and often disturbing truths about the way American justice really works. ... less

Curvatia's creators, Spacek, are based around the core collective of Steve Spacek (vocals) Edmund Cavill (guitar) and Morgan Zarate (drums). Even though they've only released two EPs, the South London trio are already being adorned with the kind of praise usually only reserved for bands once they're a few albums down the line. So what's the fuss about? In truth the praise is well deserved because Spacek are indeed pretty special, succeeding in a truly idiosyncratic cross-pollination of hi-tech soul, otherworldly R&B, futuristic hip- hop and off-kilter electronica. A strange combination maybe, but it works. An effortless sound that just shimmers and slides, interrupted only partially by the shuffling rhythms, stumbling beats and infectious, indefinable quirk that sets one tune apart from the other. Take the razor-sharpened beats and gently bumping hip- hop of "Eve", the sweeping cinematics of "How", the smooth, sassy spaciousness of Curvatia, the mistuned off-kilter soul of "Act for You" and the charming acoustics and simplistic beauty of "I Have a Daughter that Sings". All of which share the breathy, languorous vocal narratives of Steve Spacek and belie their obvious love for melody and left-of-centre form. This is a truly accomplished and irresistibly moreish album. --Found Sounds ... less

In Search of... - N*E*R*D

"No-one Ever Really Dies" according to hip- hop uber-producers The Neptunes (aka Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo), who have reincarnated themselves (along with singing high school pal, Shay) as N*E*R*D, a crew of buddhist gang-bangers. And if that sounds like a contradiction too hard to reconcile, then you may just be right. In Search Of kicks off with N*E*R*Ds signature tune, "Lapdance", which purports to contain a socially conscious message but works best as a lascivious blast of brainless bump and grind that the group are hard pushed to better. As their moniker suggests, there's something distinctly awkward about these guys. Although more than competent musically, lyrically much of "In Search Of" sounds as if they're trying too hard to be different. To level his karma after "Lapdance", Shay feels compelled to blurt out "I just want your brain" to a prospective partner (on "Brain"). On "Provider", he attempts to soften his street-hustling activities by insisting to his boo that her welfare is his primary concern. The geek humour of the between-song skits falls completely flat. But when all fails they simply return to the tried and true. The insistent bassline of "Lapdance" reprises on " Truth Or Dare", along with stark dramatic strings and a guest vocal from Kelis. "Stay Together" ups the charm factor with saccharine psychedelia and harmonised backing vocals. "Baby Doll" rides on a punk bassline and mondo exotica chorus. "Tape You" begins as a slick street soul mantra about a guy videotaping his girl going through the motions and descends into two-minutes plus of orchestrated moans and groans. "Rock Star-Poser" is a mash of discordance and distortion. The record closes with the swaying "Bobby James" Shay's effects his best George Clinton barber-shop croon. With In Search Of, The Neptunes have set out on what promises to be an interesting journey. They just haven't decided on their destination.--Chris Campion ... less

~ * The Truth About This Album * ~
Advantages: Pink fans will like it!
Disadvantages: I don't like it!
...The Truth About Love is the sixth album from American singer Pink. The album was released in the United Kingdom in September 2012 and so it is very recent. The length of the album is: 51 minutes and 23 seconds. The album is currently available from Amazon for a price of £7.49 which I think is great value for money considering that the album is very recent.

The Real Hip Hop Is Over Here?
Advantages: A few bangers
Disadvantages: A few tracks are a little weaker than the rest
...Nas? controversial ?Hip Hop Is Dead? release came out in 2006, and came at a time when he declared the ?death? of the genre, as he considered it?s true origins to have been diluted to a point beyond recognition when compared to its form in the seventies and eighties. It was the New Yorker?s eight album to that point, and saw him make another big statement to change the way all music of that time...

The Truth About This Book...
Advantages: Unique, intriguing story, fast paced psychological thriller, gripping and thought provoking
Disadvantages: Celia wasn't instantly likable. This is the only niggle I can find and it's a pretty petty one.
...an unprovoked attack has a surprising outcome and her Mum takes them on the run, Celia is left wondering if the one thing that protected her all these years was in fact the one harming her. With her life thrown upside down, her Mum falling apart in fear and an unknown person seeking them out, Celia is about to discover the truth...only she may just wish she hadn't.
Ah...this is indeed a refreshingly new...
