DJ Hyphen & J. Moore sit down with the talented Melanie Fiona to talk about her upcoming album, The Bridge. Also, hit the jump for more footage of Ms. Fiona, ?uestlove & The Illadelphonics in the studio working on the mixtape.

While the album’s release has been delayed until August here in the States, peep the interview to hear her discuss the motivation behind the music, why it’s universal to everyone, and how she’s hoping it helps kill off ringtone singles. She also talked about her Canadian/West Indian background, the process of crossing over to America’s music industry by signing with Steve Rifkind’s SRC label, touring with Kanye West, and more.

Grandmaster Flash – Swagger f. Snoop Dogg, Red Cafe & Lynn Carter (Video)

Grandmaster Flash releases a video for the lead single off his upcoming album, The Bridge (March 3rd!). Snoop’s crossed out because he doesn’t appear in the video. I guess he has more important things to do than to show support to another legend in the game. I mean it is only his first album in over 20 years. What’s so great about that?* Smh..

*I reeally hope you smart/dumb folk understand sarcasm.

Grandmaster Flash – Bounce Back f. Busta Rhymes

First leak(s) off Grandmaster Flash’s upcoming album, The Bridge. His first album in 20 years! I was waiting for a track to check out from this. I’m digging the Busta cut. The bonus however… I am not. And it’s not even a bad song. The vibe is straight, but it just feels like a desperate attempt to grab the younger audience. Something a legend in the game shouldn’t have to do.
