The true meaning of strength is Leah Strong… We all have good days and bad days… Leah everyday is in a fight… a battle against cancer… and she is doing so with an incredible will… She made it last night to see her father play against the Cleveland Browns… The Bengals announced a $1.3 million donation to Cincinnati’s Children’s Hospital and Medical Center in Leah’s name… KhariDigital wishes her all the best…

The Series: A Hip Hop Collabo

The meaning of Hip Hop collabo has changed quite a bit over the years… Once known as a treat to the Hip Hop consumer… the Hip Hop collabo has become the norm in today’s Hip Hop… Albums are littered with features… they are no longer collabo’s… Today artist need each other to sell records… You can argue that there are no solo Hip Hop artist out there anymore… I’m all good with change but there was something special about artist with different styles complimenting each other on a track… It was almost like artist battled each other on the same track… There have been great collaborations in Hip Hop over the years… and Khari Digital will break down 10 in a Hip Hop collabo series… not greatest… just 10 that had meaning to the game and still resonate throughout the Hip Hop community today… Today we feature Tribe Called Quest with the “Senario” Remix

It just keeps getting better for Jay-Z… He can rock the mic… sell some clothes… broker deals for athletes… and sell some bubbly… His resume is impressive…

The newest item in the Jay-Z portfolio is the gilded Armand de Brignac (nicknamed “Ace of Spades”) brand of bubbly, which retails for $300 a pop but can go as high as $200,000…  A new company led by Jay Z acquired the brand from New York-based Sovereign Brands, which announced the sale this week.

“We are proud to announce that Sovereign Brands, a New York-based wine and spirits company owned by the Berish family, has sold its interest in the Armand de Brignac (‘Ace of Spades’) Champagne brand to a new company led by the globally-renowned Shawn ‘Jay Z’ Carter,” the company said in a statement.

The best-selling artist, label owner, entertainment mogul, sports agent and now-champagne maker is reportedly worth over $500 million, according to Forbes

Chris Rock Hits Comedic Limits

Are there social issues that comedians should just leave alone? I’m not sure how to answer that one myself… A joke is just that… a joke… however… jokes can bring out moments of pain for others… You know what you get with Chris Rock… the truth!!!

Animated Side of Iron Mike

Gotta pay homage to the man… Iron Mike Tyson… I absolutely love the idea of the former heavy weight champion of the world… Animated!… The series from Warner Bros Animation debuted Monday 10:30pm on Adult Swim.  Not only has Tyson chosen not to become a low life former boxing champ… He has done some really dope shit post boxing… “Undisputed Truth” directed by Spike Lee was a smash in my opinion… Tyson has a real future in front of the camera… Even if he’s animated… well Tyson is almost always animated…

As we all know… Tyson can entertain in a variety of ways… See the footage of him going at dude interviewing him in Canada… I was like whoa man…  don’t you know Iron Mike… wrong question…

As Deadline Hollywood describes them… the cast of the Mike Tyson Mysteries…  The ghost of the Marquis of Queensbury from centuries past, voiced by Community’s Jim Rash; a boozed-up bird that used to be human, voiced by Norm MacDonald in a role he was born to play; and Yung Hee, the Rachel Ramras-voiced home-schooled and adopted Korean daughter of Tyson.

Tyson is proving that there is more for boxers to do after the right hand can’t land for money… I personally wish Iron Mike the best in his new endevours…
