Jameson Count: 0

That number isn't really rising anytime soon, but we'll see by lunchtime.

One of our friends and mentors, Bryonn Bain, author of the famous Voice article Walking While Black, and its unintended followup, Three Days in NYC Jails, is FINALLY getting around to releasing that album of his that's been in the works since who knows when. We haven't heard it all yet, but he brought some tracks to the house a few months ago, and the bhangra joint is definitely on some freshness.

Anyway, info here:

Bryonn Bain announces the independent release of his much anticipated debut album: "PROBLEM CHILD: The Philosophy and Opinions..." This mixture of hypnotic verse and future-classic beats seamlessly blends elements of hard-core and conscious Hip Hop, roots Reggae, Bhangra and House music, with urban Soul. Oh!! and it's Bryonn's Born day too!!!! come celebrate with free admission and open bar from 11-12am

Where:
Villa
735 Second Ave bet 39th/40th St.
When: 
Saturday, March 19, 10:00pm

Also: shouts to Miss Christine Turner for directing us to this very good story about the Quannum Crew. While I have to admit I sorta haven't been into them as much since high school, their relatively recent signee and Good Life legend Pigeon John is still one of the funnest rappers to bounce to.
