Welcome to The Realease

The Realease is a space in which words mix with convictions, sentences party with observations, and paragraphs flirt with shoutouts. This is where Hip-hop lovers speak candidly as intellectuals, where archetype meets archetype and find common ground. Here exist no censors, just truth. Actually, this blog is the act of letting go, the unleashing, the emancipation and the liberation of truth. So feel free to release whatever truth you may have. Welcome.

There Ain't Nothing Like A Morgan Girl...

I was perusing through Charles Hamilton's blog today and saw that he was giving props to the Flyy Society...a maryland outfit and these dudes... They remixed Brooklyn Girls for Morgan. So my personal love for anything Charles Hamilton and HBCU related alone gave this mix realease space, but its also very good.



Keep it black kids...

R&B Swagg

The other day i peep'd Mateo's cinematic mixtape presentation of his Underneath The Sky and i was thoroughly impressed...but more so mesmerized by the swagg that is Mateo. I mean I am a Hip Hop type of chick but i couldn't stop watching this video and bumpin' his mixtape. I love Mateo...no groupie. And if you haven't peep'd him yet get on it.

The Return

♪♪ It's been a long time since I left you...without a dope beat to step to, step to. ♪♪


RIP Aaliyah, and RIP the days when I go for weeks without postings! I'm back and I'm....


letting goo! Boys, though I really can't stand them sometimes, are good teachers because they teach some of the most unforgettable lessons. Straight up. That heartache last year that you still feel today? Lesson learned. That betrayal that still has you second guessing brothas to this day? Lesson learned.


After awhile, you get tired of learned the same lesson over and over again until you get the point that you've got to just CNL---Cut Niggas Loose! Let 'em go. You'll thank yourself for it.


*If he only calls you once a month,late at night, when it's convenient for him, or only after you've called him first....it's time to ask why. Or just stop calling him. Don't waster your time.


*If he claims college, sports, etc. as an excuse...it's just that, an excuse. Don't excuse it. There are plenty of guys out there who will make time for girls. He just might not be the one.


*If you give him an ultimatum, after much thought and consideration, and he can't handle it, you know you've made the right decision. Don't let his faulty arguement change your mind.


I could go deeper on this...but my heart is a little overloaded with emotions right now so I'll save that for another time.....


*rLa.
