Ness stops by the longest running hip hop radio show to spit some bars. I have to admit, he did his thing.

“That Daddy Doe Stack/Philly’s mayor/a big thank you to all my haters…”

Sand Cannon talks about the state of the game and his home town of Philly (what up Eagles?!). And if you can’t sit through the entire thing (as it’s pretty lengthy, though he does shout to Re-Up Gang, which I hope he’s still a part of), here’s a new track for you to enjoy. Props to Doe Dolla.

More than a dozen police officers will be taken off the street as authorities investigate a video showing three suspects being kicked, punched and beaten after they were pulled out of a car during a traffic stop.

This shit disgusts me. I swear this world is a horrible place. My man passed me this link to the news report, then I spotted the video (shown above) at J Burnett’s spot. Sidebar: the t-shirts I spoke on are still coming.
