This is for BlackRadioIsBack.com and FuseBox Radio Broadcast folks who like some of that quality NY Style Street Hip-Hop vibe...

Shouts to my folks over at Clockwork Music and The Orchard for hitting me up with this new mixtape from independent Hip-Hop MC Trife Da God a.ka. Trife Diesel.

Folks might be familiar with Trife through his numerous guest appearances on Wu-Tang Clan member Ghostface Killah's last 5 solo album projects in the past few years (ever since Supreme Clientele) and the posse album from Theodore Unit (consisting of himself Ghostface, Cappadonna, Wiggs and Solomon Childs), 718.

The brother is pretty nice on the mic, I personally feel - give his pre-album mixtape Trife Diesel & Tapemasters Inc. - The Project Pope a listen and let us know what you think!

Wanted to share this fantastic free album download from one of the many great groups from the DC Hip-Hop scene, The Paxtons.

The Paxton's crew of Chris and Dave originally came together 12 years ago when both members lived on Chicago's Paxton Avenue. After moving to the DMV area in 2008, they dropped their first offical mixtape, "Members Only".

They've dropped various singles (including the track “Japanese Denim” with fellow DC producer Judah that was featured on the Mick Boogie helmed mixtape Hype Club).

The WORK album is being dropped in a partnership with The Smoking Section Blog, Philadelphia’s premier streetwear boutique, Ubiq, and NYC/Tokyo-based Atmos.

Definitely hit their site for more free music, videos, to purchase some product (after all, independent artists need to eat as well, support quality music - cop a hard copy of this CD and others) and some other goodies.

I personally heard this tragic news with my friend, Bro and radio show partner of the FuseBox Radio, Jon Judah, while in the Columbia Heights area of DC earlier today, first via our FuseBox Radio Twitter account & it's updates about Michael Jackson's heart attack.

Through CNN's mobile website on and DC news radio station, WTOP, while on the road we heard the final confirmation of his passing after hearing (and hoping) it was all a rumor.

The passing of Michael Jackson was extremely unexpected, not just for his age being only 50 years old but for how he passed away (the same way my stepfather - essentially my daddy in all shapes and form - did 5 years ago, cardiac arrest).

Michael Jackson's impact in Black Music, Business & Entertainment is probably unparalleled for at least music artists in the mid-20th century to the present.

Along with Prince, Michael Jackson broke the Color Barrier for Black Entertainers for music videos on MTV.

His business moves were insanely intelligent back in the day, from major commercial sponsorships with major companies like Pepsi to exclusive music video premiers on broadcast television (where the world would literally stop for 30 min. - 1 hour for a MJ spectacle - this does NOT happen anymore) to this shrewd purchase of one of the most popular music groups of modern times publishing catalog, the Beatles (kind of a historic flip of what the music industry did to Black Musicians for years).

Some of our so-called Music Moguls have NOTHING on Mike or wouldn't be at their positions without his pioneering power moves.

Michael Jackson's music catalog in terms of hits and album cuts throughout his 40+ year career is definitely a part of the soundtrack to many people's lives - from his start with the Jackson 5 to becoming a teenager as part of the Jacksons to his solo career as an adult.

Literally in over 25 years since the Thriller album, there has been pretty much NO entertainer who has had and kept worldwide such strong good feelings and support of a Michael Jackson.

His work and caring for children all over the world (maybe brought on because of his own lost childhood) was genuine and positive, whether via public works and private donations (including donations to Historically Black Colleges and Universities).

I think people got from him what folks don't necessarily get terribly often in modern popular music - a sense of genuine feeling and goodness whenever a track came on - whether it was to jump start the party or he was singing a ballad about love, loss or revolution (give a listen to "Show You The Way To Go" or "They Don't Care About Us" and say with a straight face MJ wasn't Young, Gifted and Black).

Michael Jackson made his career with Black Radio - not "Urban Radio" not not immediately "Pop Radio".

He made Pop Radio come to him, almost partially be declaring himself - a man who grew up in extreme poverty in Gary, Indiana when Black People were told they were NOTHING in the pre-Civil Rights era - the "King of Pop".

Even with some of the not so great choices he made in his personal life (from the plastic surgeries, skin treatments, running into trouble with economic issues and walking into the child molestation cases with not great choices about the company he kept - which by the way, he was cleared of ALL CHARGES from said cases in our U.S. legal system, with at least 1 case being an obvious setup), Michael Jackson's impact on Black Music & it's worldwide view can't even be questioned.

He was like all of us yet not like us, dealing with conflicts to the 1000th power of love, fame, hate, fortune and wanting to go back to a more innocent period of life, or at least trying to make life good on some levels the best way he could

Mr. Jackson, you will be missed deeply and Brother, you were truly "Off The Wall".

Heartfelt and sincere condolences to the family, friends and fans of Michael Jackson from the syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast and BlackRadioIsBack.com.

Peace,

(CNN) -- Michael Jackson, the show-stopping singer whose best-selling albums -- including "Off the Wall," "Thriller" and "Bad" -- and electrifying stage presence made him one of the most popular artists of all time, died Thursday, CNN has confirmed.

Michael Jackson, shown in 2008, was one of the biggest pop stars in history.

He was 50.

He collapsed at his residence in the Holmby Hills section of Los Angeles, California, about noon Pacific time, suffering cardiac arrest, according to brother Randy Jackson. He died at UCLA Medical Center.

Lt. Fred Corral of the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office said an autopsy would probably be done on the singer Friday, with results expected that afternoon.

"Michael Jackson made culture accept a person of color," the Rev. Al Sharpton said. "To say an 'icon' would only give these young people in Harlem a fraction of what he was. He was a historic figure that people will measure music and the industry by."

Jackson's blazing rise to stardom -- and later fall from grace -- is among the most startling of show business tales. The son of a steelworker, he rose to fame as the lead singer of the Jackson 5, a band he formed with his brothers in the late 1960s. By the late '70s, as a solo artist, he was topping the charts with cuts from "Off the Wall," including "Rock With You" and "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough."

In 1982, he released "Thriller," an album that eventually produced seven hit singles. An appearance the next year on a Motown Records 25th-anniversary special cemented his status as the biggest star in the country.

For the rest of the 1980s, they came no bigger. "Thriller's" follow-up, 1987's "Bad," sold almost as many copies. A new Jackson album -- a new Jackson appearance -- was a pop culture event.

The pop music landscape was changing, however, opening up for rap, hip-hop and what came to be called "alternative" -- and Jackson was seen as out of step.

His next release, 1991's "Dangerous," debuted at No. 1 but "only" produced one top-ranking single -- "Black or White" -- and that song earned criticism for its inexplicably violent ending, in which Jackson was seen smashing car windows and clutching his crotch.

And then "Dangerous" was knocked out of its No. 1 spot on the album charts by Nirvana's "Nevermind," an occurrence noted for its symbolism by rock critics.

After that, more attention was paid to Jackson's private life than his music career, which faltered. A 1995 two-CD greatest hits, "HIStory," sold relatively poorly, given the huge expense of Jackson's recording contract: about 7 million copies, according to Recording Industry of America certifications.

A 2001 album of new material, "Invincible," did even worse.

In 2005, he went to trial on child-molestation charges. He was acquitted.

In July 2008, after three years away from the spotlight, Jackson announced a series of concerts at London's O2 Arena as his "curtain call." Some of the shows, initially scheduled to begin in July, were eventually postponed until 2010.

Rise to stardom

Michael Jackson was born August 29, 1958, to Joe Jackson, a Gary, Indiana, steelworker, and his wife, Katherine. By the time he was 6, he had joined his brothers in a musical group organized by his father, and by the time he was 10, the group -- the Jackson 5 -- had been signed to Motown.

He made his first television appearance at age 11.

Jackson, a natural performer, soon became the group's front man. Music critic Langdon Winner, reviewing the group's first album, "Diana Ross Presents the Jackson 5," for Rolling Stone, praised Michael's versatile singing and added, "Who is this 'Diana Ross,' anyway?"

The group's first four singles -- "I Want You Back," "ABC," "The Love You Save" and "I'll Be There" -- went to No. 1 on the Billboard pop chart, the first time any group had pulled off that feat. There was even a Jackson 5 cartoon series on ABC.

In 1972, he hit No. 1 as a solo artist with the song "Ben."

The group's popularity waned as the '70s continued, and Michael eventually went solo full time. He played the Scarecrow in the 1978 movie version of "The Wiz," and released the album "Off the Wall" in 1979. Its success paved the way for "Thriller," which eventually became the best-selling album in history, with 50 million copies sold worldwide.

At that point, Michael Jackson became ubiquitous.

Seven of "Thriller's" nine cuts were released as singles; all made the Top Ten. The then-new cable channel MTV, criticized for its almost exclusively white playlist, finally started playing Jackson's videos. They aired incessantly, including a 14-minute minimovie of the title cut. ("Weird Al" Yankovic cemented his own stardom by lampooning Jackson's song "Beat It" with a letter-perfect parody video.)

On the Motown Records' 25th-anniversary special -- a May 1983 TV extravaganza with notable turns by the Temptations, the Four Tops and Smokey Robinson -- it was Michael Jackson who stopped the show.

Already he was the most popular musician in America, riding high with "Thriller." But something about his electrifying performance of "Billie Jean," complete with the patented backward dance moves, boosted his stardom to a new level.

People copied his Jheri-curled hair and single-gloved, zippered-jacket look. Showbiz veterans such as Fred Astaire praised his chops. He posed for photos with Ronald and Nancy Reagan at the White House. Paul McCartney teamed with him on three duets, two of which -- "The Girl Is Mine" and "Say Say Say" -- became top five hits. Jackson became a Pepsi spokesman, and when his hair caught fire while making a commercial, it was worldwide news.

It all happened very fast -- within a couple years of the Motown special. But even at the time of the "Motown 25" moonwalk, fame was old hat to Michael Jackson. He hadn't even turned 25 himself, but he'd been a star for more than half his life. He was given the nickname the "King of Pop" -- a spin on Elvis Presley's status as "the King of Rock 'n' Roll" -- and few questioned the moniker.

Relentless attention

But, as the showbiz saying has it, when you're on top of the world, there's nowhere to go but down. The relentless attention given Jackson started focusing as much on his eccentricities -- some real, some rumored -- as his music.

As the Web site Allmusic.com notes, he was rumored to sleep in a hyperbaric chamber and to have purchased the bones of John Merrick, the "Elephant Man." (Neither was true.) He did have a pet chimpanzee, Bubbles; underwent a series of increasingly drastic plastic surgeries; established an estate, Neverland, filled with zoo animals and amusement park rides; and managed to purchase the Beatles catalog from under Paul McCartney's nose, which displeased the ex-Beatle immensely.

In 1990s and 2000s, Jackson found himself pasted across the media for his short-lived marriages, the first to Elvis Presley's daughter, Lisa Marie; his 2002 claim that then Sony Records head Tommy Mottola was racist; his behavior and statements during a 2003 interview with British journalist Martin Bashir done for a documentary called "Living With Michael Jackson;" his changing physical appearance; and, above all, the accusations that he sexually molested young boys at Neverland.

The first such accusation, in 1993, resulted in a settlement to the 13-year-old accuser (rumored to be as high as $20 million), though no criminal charges were filed, Allmusic.com notes.

He also fell deeply in debt and was forced to sell some of his assets. Neverland was one of many holdings that went on the block. However, an auction of material from Neverland, scheduled for April, was called off and all items returned to Jackson.

Interest in Jackson never faded, however, even if some of it was prurient. In 2008, when he announced 10 comeback shows in London, beginning in July 2009, the story made worldwide news. The number of concerts was later increased to 50.

Seventy-five thousand tickets sold in four hours when they went on sale in March.

However, when the shows were postponed until 2010, rumors swept the Internet that Jackson was not physically prepared and possibly suffering from skin cancer.

At the time, the president and CEO of AEG Live, Randy Phillips, said, "He's as healthy as can be -- no health problems whatsover."

Jackson held open auditions for dancers in April in Los Angeles.

He is survived by his three children, Prince Michael I, Paris and Prince Michael II.

This is the latest episode of the syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast with DJ Fusion & Jon Judah for the week of June 24, 2009 with some new and classic Hip-Hop & Soul Music, news and commentary.

Our commentary this week focused on the U.S. Supreme Court Ruling on the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (and Justice Clarence Thomas' lone opposing vote), the Perez Hilton/Will.I.Am beatdown incident (and it's double standards of PC-dom), the Chris Brown/Rhianna court case ending, the passing of Ed McMahon and some other things here and there.

Good Thursday Morning to our BlackRadioIsBack.com and FuseBox Radio Broadcast peoples on this 3rd Week of Black Music Month!

Been a bit backed up working on posts here for the website, my 9 to 5 and being in the music lab (July 2009 the new mixtape flood from BlackRadioIsBack.com and FuseBox Radio Broadcast begins...), but are now getting back on track. :)

So besides this week's radio show from our crew, I also have to hit you with some more dope Black Radio vibes from our Atlanta, GA family of DJ Jamad with an episode of the Afromentals Mixshow.

DJ Jamad's Afromentals Mixshow is a long-standing weekly radio show airing every Sunday night from 8pm -10pm EST on Sirius Satellite Radio’s Hip Hop Nation (Sirius 40/XM 67) channel.

Periodically, he has a special "Operation Hot Combs (OHC)" edition of the radio show, which is a one-hour “guest takeover” with various musical guests hosting the mix segment.

The show we're putting on this week has hosted by one of our independent Hip-Hop folks who's been doing their thing in Atlanta for a minute, Señor Kaos.

Check out the great hour long music mix of mainstream and independent Hip-Hop and Soul music below and let us know what you think!

Good Monday Morning at the beginning of the 3rd week of Black Music Month here from the BlackRadioIsBack.com and FuseBox Radio Broadcast family! :)

I downloaded this mixtape late last night (props to the Twitter fam for hipping people to this project) from Washington, DC R&B Music superstar (folks have slept SO much on his last few releases in the mainstream, even with major label backing, it's utterly insane - The Love Experience is a 21st Century R&B classic album) Raheem DeVaughn.

Get the free download of Raheem DeVaughn's Art of Noise Mixtape below, give it a listen and let us know what you think...

I doubt folks who like true Soul & R&B music will be disappointed (the brother can really sing and does a great live show, check out one that BlackRadioIsBack.com folks attended earlier this year here).
