iRi5 (Erika Iris Simmons) – Ghost In The Machine
Not much to say here except that this is one of THE dopest artists I’ve seen in a long time, especially as far as her creativity is concerned. Her name is Erika Iris Simmons (iRi5) and she focuses on using recycled materials like used books and cassettes. Most of her materials were either donated to her or were thrown out anyway…check out more of her stuff at her website.

Eminem Continues To Top The Charts
Eminem (and to a lesser yet still respectable extent, Drake) continues you kick as and take names on the Billboard charts. i suspect (at least as far as hip-hop albums) that both artists will probably end the year in the same fashion. Congratulations.
