Gotta wish the dads out there a Happy Father’s Day, esp, Jason (GP & UP fam). He has been schooling his son, Siah, on the hip hop classics. I’m not sure I could say “Afrika Bambaataa” when I was 4, let alone identify something like “Looking for the Perfect Beat”!
Finally got a chance to catch up with Madukes this morning…she is busy as usual. She’s concentrating on a new project called,The Rebirth of Detroit, and very excited about the next round of scholarships for the J Dilla Foundation beginning July 1st. She also mentioned that she’s going to have to pry Dilla’s MPC away from Illa J because it will hopefully be in the new African American Smithsonian set to open in the next year or so (this may be old news, but I was like, “WHAT?!”)
She’s been trying to get her social media on, so you can follow her on Twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/officialmadukes or connect with her on Facebook.

We’d just like to extend our condolences to the family and friends of Jonas Bevacqua from LRG. We were stunned to hear about his sudden passing…he was way too young.
