Chuckie A - From The Beginning

Chuckie A - From The Beginning


From The Beginning is Chuckie A's debut album and it has a whopping 27 tracks in total. The digital version Chuckie sent me doesn't have any numbers on the file names so I don't know what is the official track order. A lot of the songs from this album are about Chuckie's pains, struggles and aspirations, hence the title From The Beginning. There are a number of songs in this album that were previously released in his Before I Begin album.

Triangle Offense - The Alarm

Triangle Offense

Triangle Offense have released a new single for the clubs called The Alarm.

Press Release:

Triangle Offense Releases New Single "The Alarm" Ahead of Next Mixtape

Hours before taking the stage at the Bad Boy Street Showcase in Brooklyn, Jersey City natives Triangle Offense will be releasing their next single, "The Alarm." The single, a collaborative effort between T.O. and Envision Nightlife's (http://www.envisionnightlife.com/) DJ Nano, is featured on their next mixtape "The Courting," which is set to be drop for free download on their website, www.triangle-offense.com.

"Nano and I met when we were young. Growing up, I always thought he had a good ear for music," recounts T.O. member Finesse. "While working with him on this song, Nano gave us a lot of insight on what people in the club like and don't like. Getting his co-sign on our music meant a lot."

The ambiance of the record is dark while still finding a party atmosphere within ominous electronic sounds. "We wanted people to hear the song and taste alcohol on their breath and feel the warmth of an overly packed club," says Nemo, half of Jersey Boys Music. "I think we accomplished that."

"The Courting is going to take you on a night out with Triangle Offense," describes Finesse. "The Alarm sets the stage. When you hear the alarm, you'll know you're in the club."

To promote the song, DJ Nano has been including it in his set while spinning at clubs across Manhattan, including Club Rewind and Gramercy Room. Triangle Offense gave partygoers a preview of the song when they performed it alongside DJ Nano at SPiNYC this winter.

Triangle Offense continues to promote themselves on the road to releasing The Courting, recently earning a spot on the Bad Boy Street Showcase by beating out 17 other hopefuls during an audition hosted by Indie Elite Promotions.

Introducing China's new replacement for Google-- Goojje!

I'm sure many of you have already heard the announcement from Google, that they are considering to leave China due to cyber attacks against them they claim that is originating from China. What will happen if Google really leaves? Fear not China, Goojje is here to the rescue!


Goojje.... W T F.


In case you are not familiar with that blue paw with the "J" in it, that blue paw is actually taken from Baidu, China's #1 search engine. Could Goojje is the love child between Google and Baidu? LOL. China, you guys have gone TOO FAR! I wouldn't be surprised if this is the last straw, causing Google to permenently leave China.

Check out the site. It is at http://goojje.com/

Vancouver has the BEST CHINESE FOOD IN THE WORLD

According to an article from Conde Nast Magazine's February edition, Vancouver has the BEST CHINESE FOOD IN THE WORLD. What?! Vancouver's Chinese food even beats Hong Kong, Taiwan and China? Lol, take that motherland!

Check out the article:

Canada Wins Chinese Gold

by Mark Schatzker

Vancouver may be hosting the WInter Olympics, but it also seems to triumph in dumpling devouring. Over 38 meals in 12 restaurants, our indefatigable writer beholds the thrill of noodle pulling. (Warning: Don't read this on an empty stomach)

Forget about dumpling hunting in San Francisco. Cancel that pilgrimage to Flushing, Queens, for fish ball soup. If it's Chinese food you're after, pack your chopsticks for Vancouver—and say a silent thanks to geopolitics as your plane lands. It was 1997's repatriation of Hong Kong that began the mass influx of Chinese to British Columbia's lower mainland, a migration which continues to this day, fueled in part by Canada's immigrant-friendly policies. Today, almost one in five of Vancouver's two million residents is ethnically Chinese.

Combine those demographics with the city's legendary seafood and you have the recipe for an outsize number of extremely good Cantonese, Shanghainese, and Szechuan restaurants. According to local Chinese food critic and writer Stephanie Yuen—who was born in Hong Kong and has eaten extensively there, in mainland China, and in Taiwan—Vancouver is home to the best Chinese food in the world. Period. Perhaps that explains why visitors from Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou have started showing up in Vancouver just to eat the food they so love. Maybe it's time you did likewise.

Joe Flizzow - Do it Duit MV

Joe Flizzow - President

My sister sent me this link a couple of days ago. She's starring in Joe Flizzow's new music video Do it Duit. The music video was sponsored by the Johor Tourism Ministry and was shot in Pulau Rawa and the Johor Golf Club. The guys from Kartel Records and as well as Sheikh Heikel, a Singaporean MC, made a cameo appearance. Check it out!

Jin says he is NOT going to battle Dizaster

So Jin says in this video entitled Closure that he is NOT going to battle Dizaster after all, thus bringing a closure to this episode. Rats! And I was really looking forward to this battle too! Too bad it won't happen. This is definitely disappointing news for hip hop fans. On the flip side, I'm happy that Jin is in a new chapter in his life and things are working well for him over in Hong Kong.

Yangyang Cheng teaches the song "I'm A Little Teapot"

The teacher in this clip Yangyang Cheng, is really cute isn't she? I can't tell if this clip was meant for kids or if it was meant for lonely old Chinese men. Is it just me or does she sound kinda naughty whenever she says "I'm a little teapot"? I don't why she does that. There's nothing sexy at all about teapots nor tipping them over and pouring them out (or however that metaphor works for that matter). Maybe Yangyang thinks the song is some sort of sexual innuendo, or maybe she's just trying to seduce men into buying DVDs. This clip almost Gravure-like, you know, seemingly perverted but not really, lol.

Yangyang also teaches Chinese to English speakers. You can see more of her videos on her YouTube channel called sloppycheng (no I didn't make up that name, but I wish I did).
