The super talented singer-songwriter Andy Allo performed her lead single, “People Pleaser,” from her second LP entitled Superconductor on Jimmy Kimmel Live. The songstress not only demonstrated her skills on the guitar, but brought the legendary saxophonist Maceo Parker and Trombone Shorty along to funk up the stage.

Can you imagine being in the same room with these performers during a jam session? Sheesh.

How does it feel to know that I’m wrapped around ya?

Nabil Elderkin, an Australian director, photographer, and the man behind the photos from Kanye West’s Glow In the Dark book, created an inspiring, award-winning documentary titled Bouncing Cats.

Narrated by Common with featured interviews from Mos Def, will.i.am, and K’Naan, Bouncing Cats follows Richard “Crazy Legs” Colón of the world famous Rock Steady Crew and Ugandan b-boy and founder of Breakdance Project Uganda (B.P.U.) Abraham “Abramz” Tekya on their journey to empower, rehabilitate, and heal the Ugandan community by teaching the youth about b-boy culture and breakdance. Noted in the film’s synopsis:

“Abramz teaches classes three times a week to more than 300 kids from all parts of the country. Many of the children are homeless, victims of war and poverty, and few can afford proper schooling, yet they walk from miles away to attend the B.P.U. classes. As Abramz says, ‘This is where many people’s pride is. It’s a skill that no one can take away from us.’”

Street artist and graphic designer Jason “Jay Shells” Shelowitz has teamed up with ANIMAL to combine his passion for imaginative sign-making with his love for rap music on his new scavenger hunt-like project. “‘Rap Quotes’ is a project that plots exact locations of corners and very specific locations mentioned in rap songs.”

Shells has been bombin’ these signs of notable quotes from Nas, Jay-Z, Big L, Mos Def, Big Daddy Kane, and Raekwon to name a few around New York. Before most of us will be able to take pictures of these signs, hip-hop heads will be taking them down with the quickness for souvenir purposes.
