Hus "Wavo" Kingpin - The Threesome EP

In October 1992 Madonna released a 128-page photography book called Sex, which featured on pages 102 and 104-108 pictures from a shoot with Big Daddy Kane and Naomi Campbell. (Flip the pages below.)

CDs and LPs include the download.

Lauryn Hill interpolations become note app word associations become...

Jazzy Yowa - 2 Months After February 20

The title might lead you to think trees and spring, but if that's the intent, the result is more palm trees and hot springs. It's no vacations, though.

2 Months After February 20 is a sweaty, steamy affair, like moving into a new apartment in August with no air conditioning.

Sipping Dark n' Stormies after a day of lifting U-Haul boxes filled to the breaking point with a life on wax, those little corner slices of packing tape keeping it all together, the glass's sticky condensation recalling that.

Where are we going with all this? "Somewhere."
