This is the latest episode of the syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast with DJ Fusion & Jon Judah for the week of March 3, 2010 with some new and classic Hip-Hop & Soul Music, news and commentary.

This week's commentary this week focused on a range of things, touching base on topics such as the Supreme Court's latest case on the 2nd amendment (the right to bear arms), the sad news of Hip-Hop MC & legend Guru's recent health situation along our memories of personal encounters with him and wishes for a swift recovery, a mini-recap of the recent Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada, the beginning of Women's History Month here in the States and some other things here and there.

During this week's show, we had a great interview with one of the independent Hip-Hop's young MCs on the rise, New York City's own Five the General (http://www.myspace.com/ItsAStoneWorld & http://www.twitter.com/Five_General).

Some of the topics we've touched base during the interview included Five's musical & environmental influences, what inspires him creatively to make music in his life, his latest mixtape project Anything But Safe with Sheek Louch of D-Block/The Lox that's out now (download here) and future plans, his viewpoint about the mainstream music industry & Hip-Hop music's lack of balance, the ridiculousness of straight glorifying prison or street life to the youth without talking about consequences and lots more!

There are brand new episodes of the Black Agenda Report and Direct EFX segments included in this week's broadcast.

BlackRadioIsBack.com Wishes for a Swift & Speedy Recovery for Hip-Hop Legend Guru

The FuseBox Radio Broadcast and BlackRadioIsBack.com family has had the honor and privilege through the past decade of having a numerous encounters on both a professional and fan level with Mr. Keith Elam a.k.a. Guru (standing for Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal) of the legendary Hip-Hop & Black Music group Gang Starr.

Both myself and Jon Judah's dealings with the brother have shown nothing but Guru being a consistent and rare class act in the music and entertainment realms - a man who has been able to balance out both his immense talent with being a balanced, respectful and kind human being.

After hearing numerous rumors about his health condition via Twitter last night, we received official confirmation late last night via various legitimate resources about Guru's unfortunate current health condition.

We have Guru, his family and friends in our prayers as well as heartfelt wishes for a swift and speedy recovery during his current health issues.

Rapper Guru In Coma In NYC

The 43-year-old rapper Guru, of Gang Starr fame, reportedly suffered a massive heart attack in New York City over the weekend and has been left in a coma since. He will undergo surgery today.

A trumpeter named Brownman, who has played with Guru for three years in Jazzmatazz, told AllHipHop "Please include him in your thoughts and hopes for recovery. They say it's lonely at the top, in whatever you do, you always gotta watch motherfuckers around you, Nobody's invincible, no plan is foolproof, we all must meet our moment of truth."

The rapper has been living in Jersey City, and was ranked #45 in the Top 50 MCs of our time—check him out in action after the jump. He recently hinted on Twitter that there may be new Gang Starr material released.
