STOLI IS HYSTERICAL AFTER CHATTING WITH MARGARET CHO
September 30, 2008
It’s not everyday that I get to interview a world famous comedian so when Shaun Cairo in NYC got me the hook up I had to jump on it. Since 1994 Margaret Cho has been making people laugh from coast to coast. She now has a new show on Vh1 and a slew of tour dates. Margaret took the time to chat with Stoli about the election, Biggie Smalls, touring, her sex life, music, and much more. Be ready to laugh!
SADAT X READY TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM
September 30, 2008
The self-proclaimed Dot Father himself, Sadat X, has returned with his brand new, fifth solo collection, the appropriately titled, Generation X. The Will Tell produced project, in an exclusive deal with New York City’s urban indie powerhouse, Affluent Records, is being introduced by the set’s hard hitting, lead offering, ‘Never.’
Not having heard from X since ‘06’s solid, but commercially panned, Black October, Sadat is back in fine, rare form, showing that he hasn’t missed a beat since the days of old with his group-mates, Grand Puba and Lord Jamar, of the legendary Brand Nubian collective.
And if that isn’t enough, plans are already underway for two more additional singles, “The Okeedoke”, and the radio-ready “Hey Baby”. Generation X is shaping up to be one of 2008’s hottest Hip-Hop releases. Stay tuned…
Generation X will be released digitally Tuesday October 7th, and physically in stores on November 4th 2008.
