It aint stopped rainnin in Boston all weekend but that didn't stop us from another successful Young Gifted and Black showcase. YGB is a family of young conscious artists out of the Bean getting it in with everything from Hip-Hop to spoken word. This past Saturday was our 7th bi-annual showcase and as always, every artist did their thing and shut sh*t down. This time around, myself and the beautiful Ashley Rose got the privelage of hosting the joint but I still rocked a couple joints in between, including this brand new joint off the Young and the Restless entitled... what else?? "Restless"

Rapper Guru, who rose to fame with pioneering group Gang Starr and later released a series of successful solo albums under the "Jazzmatazz" banner, is in a coma after suffering a heart attack and will undergo surgery today (Mar. 1), according to a Sirius radio interview with his former partner in Gang Starr, DJ Premier.
Guru, whose real name is Keith Elam, has kept a low profile of late. The 43-year-old artist released a solo album, "Lost and Found," in May 2009, which ended a two-year break following his fourth Jazzmatazz album, "The Hip-Hop Jazz Messenger: Back to the Future."
Gang Starr never officially broke up but hasn't been active in more than five years. Its last album was 2003's "Ownerz."
