The ONLY day where:

  • Yo MTV Raps was on air
  • It was a clear and smogless day
  • Beepers were commercially sold
  • Lakers beat the SuperSonics
  • and Ice Cube had no events to attend to was…

JANUARY 20, 1992
   National Good Day Day

This is a track by my friend Jamal (my favorite one) who passed away today. He had so much talent, and, I think the best thing I can do is share his music with the world, which is what he wanted to do. Please give it a listen, and download his Mixtape here. Don’t do it because he’s passed on, but because, he was fucking amazing.

It hurts to say was, but… the music lives, man. The music lives.

RIP Jamal.
