We recently got the opportunity to interview Roscoe Umali, otherwise known as the number one independent artist in the nation… With aspirations of musical diversity, Roscoe has worked with artists that range from Talib Kweli, to E-40, to Bobby Valentino, Wu-Tang, and the list grows. This confident MC has taken his own destiny into his hands and has paved the way for him, and as he elaborates, “My Filipino people…”. Catch our short & substantial interview after the break, as well as the very first live performance of ‘Live it up‘ featuring E-40…

After much deliberation, stagnation, and everything in between Latino Review were first to get their hands on the concept art for the inevitable Halo flick. The picture above is apparently the children in training, and the image below is of the Spartans readying for battle. Whats your opinion? Can this video game adaptation pull it off?
It appears Yeezy waited until the most opportune time to drop the video for Champion (smack dab in the middle of the Bejing Olympics), which you can find on his 07’s “Graduation”. The videos’ break down is a tad different then the LP version, and the video is essentially The Muppets meet Rocky, meets Forrest Gump… You have to watch it for yourself, after the jump.
Much hasn’t been bubbling regarding SF4, and it appears the release date has been pushed back a bit too, which is quite unfortunate. But regardless here’s some information to get you abreast on the game, as well as some fight footage of Ryu & Ken. Street Fighter 4 takes place between Street Fighter II and Street Fighter III, making it an interquel, much like Street Fighter Alpha, which took place between Street Fighter and Street Fighter II. And since parrying has been removed a new system called “Focus Attacks” (”Saving Attack” for the Japanese version) has been introduced, as well as Ultra moves. The traditional six-button control scheme returns, with new features and special moves integrated into the input system, mixing classic gameplay with additional innovations…
You might remember the interview we caught of Mars of 1500 or Nothing (the up and coming band behind The Game’s ‘Touchdown‘ & ‘Dope Boyz’). Well besides inevitability making his mark in the industry, the promising musician will also drop an independent (I see you 828…) reality show, featuring artists he’s worked with such as T.I. & Lupe Fiasco to name a few. Catch a sneak peek of what you can expect from the show after the break…
Aforementioned the Blackberry Javelin might be for those who just aren’t Bold enough, but it appears the upcoming RIM device is essentially a Bold minus the 3G. These informative renders were spotted at Crackberry, and divulge all the necessary details. Notable features include its 512 MHz Processor, 256 MB onboard flash memory (more apps? Yessir!), Hot-swappable microSD slot - located under the battey door, 480 by 360 high-res HVGA+ display, 3.2MP camera, and lastly its Micro USB charging/syncing port with high speed data…
Here’s a bit of info on Jay’s upcoming final album (final as in Too Short final? Or final as in final-final… That is definitely the question.) entitled “The Blueprint 3″. Now you might remember the complete Timbo & Jay album as we mentioned earlier, well it looks like Yeezy has taken the initiative upon himself and will be producing most, if not the entirety of the album. Jay will be leaking the finished version of ‘Jockin’ (which Ye’ premier at Glow In The Dark show at MSG, and which you can listen to after the break) as soon as he completes his 3rd verse to the joint…
