Rest in peace to the pioneer behind the "The Messa

Rest in peace to the pioneer behind the "The Message". We send our prayers and condolences out to the Fletcher family. 🙏🏾❤️

Duke Bootee, the pioneering rapper who co-wrote and appeared on Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five’s classic “The Message” — Number One on Rolling Stone’s list of the 100 Greatest Hip-Hop Songs of All Time — died Wednesday at the age of 69.
Born Edward Fletcher, the rapper died at his home in Savannah, Georgia. The cause was end-stage congestive heart failure, his wife, Rosita, confirmed to Rolling Stone.

Fletcher served as a member of Sugar Hill Records’ house band alongside fellow New Jersey funk veterans like bassist Doug Wimbish, guitarist Skip Alexander, and keyboardist Jiggs Chase, the latter of whom recruited Fletcher for Sugar Hill Records.

Fletcher originally wrote the song in 1980, detailing the struggles of inner-city life amid a New York transit strike that year. Although “The Message” is credited to Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, the song — then titled “The Jungle” — was the brainchild of Fletcher, who submitted a demo of the track while a session musician for the Sugar Hill Gang. Grandmaster Flash and Co. were initially reluctant to record the song due to its lack of club appeal, but Sugar Hill Records label head Sylvia Robinson persuaded Furious Five member Melle Mel to write verses for the track. Soon after becoming a hit in 1982, the song would singlehandedly give mainstream hip-hop music a social and political consciousness. - @rollingstone

Happy birthday to Brother J ( X Clan)! 💪🏿 B

Happy birthday to Brother J ( X Clan)! 💪🏿

Black is a color, while blackness state of a mindstate
But how many of you think?
Today the Brother J can find the better way
So be it, plan it down and make it stay
I serve a purpose, yet I am not the G.I. Joe
I am the Brother, yo I can never swear a foe
So just hasten your step to the mic and stage area
As I drop the science that breaks the clock barrier

Words of old make me more than a beginner
The key opens knoweldge and plays as an antenna
Americana man, Africana brother
Don't forget the land cause the birth is from the Mother
A vibe is in place, obtained and discovered
Tune in your audio and heed the word of brother

Happy birthday to singer-songwriter Paul Young!

🎶 "Everytime You Go Away" (written by Daryl Hall) ❤️❤️

Hey, if we can solve any problem, then why do we lose so many tears
Oh and so you go again, when the leading man appears
Always the same thing, can't you see
We've got everything goin' on and on and on

Everytime you go away
You take a piece of me with you
