Whitney Houston was such an inspiration for not just myself, but many generations of music lovers. Her seamless transition between phenomenal vocalist to outstanding actress made her a woman after my own heart. In honor of her August 9th birthday, I released a musical tribute featuring 11 of my favorite Whitney Houston classics. Arranged by producer Devin Johnson, these timeless songs are featured in a seamless medley entitled "ToWhitneyLoveJade." Recreating her timeless music was nostalgic and reminded me why I strive to create musical experiences that evoke emotion and spread a message of positivity and love. Happy Birthday, Whitney!

Lost Where I Belong

MJ DILLA

"One of the most important musicians of our time. When we think of John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Stevie Wonder, and Marvin Gaye, J Dilla will be going down along that history line of greatness." - Common (from XXL)
 
"He inspired me so much. One of the best days of my life was when he handed me a record with drums on it. I was so honored." - Kanye West (from XXL)
 
Jay Dee’s “Welcome to Detroit” was the album that kicked off BBE’s Beat Generation series. This seminal album (it even has its own Wikipedia entry) cemented Dilla’s reputation as a virtuoso beat maker with a remarkable range of talents. For the first time, (from that album) “Think Twice” appears on a very limited 7” single. It is a cover of Donald Byrd's seminal classic featuring Dwele on vocals... it shows Dilla’s supreme versatility behind the boards (and on the mic — it’s not the featured Dwele that sings the hook).  
 
And from his posthumously relealeased album “The Shinining” :

Common, meanwhile, does the Common thing, which is to ride the beat dumbly (but appropriately) on standout robofunker “E=MC2,” Despite Kanye boosting his sales numbers, it was Jay Dee who consistently brought out the best emcee in Common, his former roommate, and he proves it again here on "E=MC2."

Following the release of  his debut album "Radio Ready", Javier Starks shares his perspective on some of the critical things writers will encounter during their journey as emcees. Paying tribute to the late Notorious B.I.G, Starks delivers a retro flow with his modern twist. The outcome is truth and poetry in motion. Get "Radio Ready" on itunes, Google Play, Amazon and Spotify today!

Lyrics

Javier Starks:

Verse 1

I been in this game for years, it made me a animal, a dream chasing machine, brain half mechanical. I know you got questions that you prolly need answers to, don't sweat it it's cool I wrote you a manual.

First rule, you gotta be willing to work dude, do the easy work PLUS do the dirty work too... Otherwise somebody'll out work you, every time you gotta go IN like curfew.

Two, never turn your back on your crew, if they starving when you starving, you should feed'm with your loot. That don't mean bow to'm like royalty, that just means boy you need to show a little loyalty.

3. Make sure you share the same dream otherwise when the dough come you gone split at the seams, cause that money turn a friend to a fiend and a fiend do you dirty out of greed nah mean

Peep four, keep it raw, don't hate don't bite keep your flow tight that'll get you everything you ever need and more

5. to survive stay busy like a beehive, steady grind'll keep a heavy knot in your levi's

6. Cocky and confident, know the difference, be humble, use common sense.

7. Never fall in love with a groupie, even king Solomon fell victim to the beauty, got a wifey? Wife her, don't be foolish, cause she'll ride for you when the gold diggers chunk deuces

8. It's music business not music friendship, sometimes you gotta pay and vice versa, remember this

9. Never forget what you stand for, stay real to yourself till your dreams airborne. Share your spark with your fans swhen you're gone they can still feel the light like you left a lamp on

10. Give credit where credit is due, and ignore those who try to take credit from you! But take caution & pay it forward, people married to the game but they're liars every liar should divorce it.

I dont mind when they talk about their lives, I despise when they take a negative and glorify it,
Rappers swear they hard, more and more are frauds, (bars) very little substance like corn on the cob

I drop the bomb, on these so called mobsters, like Flex, for feeding yall nonsense they targets

a war going on outside if hiphop's dying I'm bout to make set armor from it's carcass.

I embody the realness and skill that's been missing from the game...
