NahRight and John Public dissect the influence of music on our kids and the argument of art imitating life vs. life imitating art. Stay tuned for a mixtape John Public will be doing in conjunction with NahRight inspired entirely by the NahMean episodes they have done thus far.

You can check out 2 songs from the tape here.

“Kids today are influenced by many different factors, with media, friends, parents and personal interest at the forefront. In our fourth episode, we wanted to look at the push and pull relationship music and culture share with each other and it’s ultimate influence on people (specifically today’s youth). We spoke with people entrenched in the genre of hip-hop, as well as some teens that offered their candid opinions on how music affects them. To offer your commentary, get over to NahRight.com or facebook.com/johnpublicmusic. Be on the look for the mixtape John Said: NahMean debuting with our fifth episode in late Feb 2010.”

All Star, also known as Starlito is working with DJ Burn One on a mixtape titled Renaissance Gangster due out the day after Valentines Day (February 15th).

We really suggest you burn one like the DJ and cool out to this shit. It’s that type of music you puff and ride out to on a chill summer night. We look forward to hearing more. Nashville, Tennessee we see you. Salutes to BLVDST.
