Though the article is pretty provocative and we don't agree with everything it says, I like the idea it provokes. Our album <a href="http://seriousbusiness.bandcamp.com/">Kool</a>, in its own way, challenges hip-hop ideals. Hiphopwired.com wrote an editorial response that is just as good <a href="http://hiphopwired.com/2011/12/27/is-hip-hops-masculinity-being-challenged-by-white-girls/">Is Hip-Hop's Masculinity Being Challenged, By White Girls?</a>. Check these articles out and let me know what you think!<br />

One week! <b>Kool </b>has been a year in the making (started October 2010) and we're very anxious to release it. Deciding to forego recording an album of previous material to write an album with all new material has been an adventure to say the least. Its been a huge growing period for us in which we've learned a lot and expanded our sound. We're excited for the new phase of SBiz we're about to embark on... in which we can focus on making these album tracks come alive through performance, video, and collaboration.<br />

1. Intro<br />

3. Cheap Clothes - Featuring CBags of SistaFist<br />
