Dame Dash America Nu Magazine Launch with music by the London Souls

What's good people,

It's ya Boy C.knight I've been away for a few days so let me get you caught up.
Friday night I went back to the Dash Gallery for the america nu Magazine launch. america nu is Damon Dash's new magazine that focuses on Music Art Lifestyle and Culture with clothing designer Erin Featherston gracing the cover. The magazine covers Dame's new movement Creative Control and his artist New Orleans spitter Curren$y. Dame also executive produced the Blak Roc album with rock/soul group the Black Keys which debuted at #1 on the the Itunes charts. The album was a collaboration with some of hip hop's best Mc's over original black keys music in 11 days.....yeah I said 11 days. Rza Raeqwon and U-god from wu-tang clan Jim Jones Mos Def Billy Danze from M.O.P and Q-tip just to name a few. Be on the look out for a Black Roc 2 coming soon.

For the second part of the night I ventured down to the basement where their was a recording studio and a performance space for band London Souls a rock fusion phenomenon. I'm not really into rock bands,but I found myself headbanging to this group. I was so impressed by their ability to fuse country and soul into the rock n roll sound. Shout out to the drummer who implemented hip hop kicks into his solo's while the other two guitarist blended it all together on the strings with hendix like riffs. The lead singer kept the crowd riveted with his vocals but all three band members were on point bouncing lyrics from on band mate to the other. To check out music from the London Souls go to myspace.com/londonsouls. To book go to snmanagement@gmail.com

Shout out to Dame Dash and the Creative Control family for the invite !
