Memphis Bleek is a 46 year old rapper & songwriter from Brooklyn, New York starting as the original hype man for JAY-Z. Hov eventually signed him to Roc-A-Fella Records once their distribution deal with Def Jam Recordings was settled, dropping both his full-length debut Coming of Age & the sophomore effort The Understanding to mixed reception. M.A.D.E. (Money, Attitude, Direction & Education) would become my personal favorite album of his in the winter of 2003 & with the 20-year anniversary of 534 passing last month, the Warehouse Music Group founder is looking to make a comeback with his 5th studio LP. “Durag Bleek” produced by Just Blaze was a perfect lead single to kick off the rollout talking about the Roc life being bigger than that mob shit whereas “Still R.O.C.” works in a gospel sample to talk about representing the same squad he’s been with for almost 3 decades, which he’s...

Ankhlejohn & August Fanon Team Up “Live! at the Disco” (Album Review)

This is the 7th studio LP from Washington, D.C. emcee/producer Ankhlejohn . Breaking out off his Big Ghost Ltd. -produced sophomore effort Van Ghost , he’s given the underground his last 6 full-lengths as well as 8 EPs & 7 tapes in almost a decade. Other favorites of mine in his discography include the Navy Blue -produced As Above, So Below , the Rome Streetz collaborative effort Genesis 1:27 & more recently the Cookin’ Soul -produced The Michelin Man earlier this year. August Fanon had produced Blu ’s widely praised 13th solo album 40 back in April & hearing him produce Live! at the Disco had raised my expectations for it going in. “Electric Funk Daddy” sets up some woodwinds & keys to get the party going assuring that you best believe he’s got some personal shit poppin’ off in his life right now whereas “Lexus GS300” embraces a funkier direction instrumentally...

📰 California’s Two-Faced Justice: While Gov. Gavin Newsom Virtue Signals, His Appointees Bury Constitutional Violations in Mental Health Court By ThaWilsonBlock Magazine – Investigative Editorial While Governor Gavin Newsom tours the state championing social justice, mental health reform, and equity for marginalized communities, a quiet legal disaster is unfolding in his own backyard — one that exposes a stunning contradiction between his public virtue signaling and the authoritarian machinery operating under his watch. This isn’t theory. It’s happening now — and it's personal. 🎭 Newsom’s Public Face: A Progressive Reformer Governor Newsom often speaks of justice reform, touts California as a sanctuary of compassion, and markets mental health as a “21st-century civil right.” With his CARE Court initiative and massive budget allocations to Department of State Hospitals (DSH), he paints a picture of moral leadership. But while Newsom tweets about Trump's lawful immi...

When the Court Violates Its Own Orders: A Deep Dive into the October 2nd, 2023 Ruling By ThaWilsonBlock Magazine Published on: thawilsonblock.com Series: From the Inside: Exposing Public Corruption in Los Angeles County What Happens When the Judge Becomes the Lawbreaker? In the American justice system, judicial orders carry the weight of law. But what happens when a court violates its own order? What happens when the very body entrusted to uphold constitutional protections disregards its own authority—especially when that violation leads to an unlawful deprivation of liberty? This installment of our exposé focuses on a critical, sealed order issued on October 2nd, 2023, by then-Pasadena-based Judge Suzette Louise Clover of the Los Angeles County Superior Court. The order was clear, legally binding, and procedurally narrow. Yet the consequences of ignoring it became the basis for a chain reaction of due process violations that now implicate multiple judicial actors, public defenders, an...

How A Defendant Won The Case, on Substance, in People v. Michael Taylor (XNEGA1111-32)

EXCLUSIVE INVESTIGATION "Fraud Upon the Court: How the People v. Michael Taylor Case Exposes a Judicial System in Crisis" By ThaWilsonBlock Magazine Investigative Team Pasadena, CA – In a quiet courtroom at the Pasadena branch of the Los Angeles County Superior Court, a case that began as a routine criminal prosecution has now erupted into a far-reaching constitutional crisis. New evidence and court documents obtained by ThaWilsonBlock Magazine suggest that in People v. Michael Taylor (Case No. XNEGA111132), the court may be actively concealing violations of its own judicial orders—raising red flags about judicial integrity, attorney collusion, and systemic abuse of mental health evaluations to silence defendants. At the center of the storm is Michael Taylor, a pro se defendant who has meticulously documented what he says is a fraud upon the court—an unconstitutional act that nullifies all subsequent proceedings. His evidence points to a judicial system leveraging...

“The Other 2/5ths or The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Trench Baby” Drops a Few Days Early on Ghais Guevara’s Bandcamp (Mixtape Review)

This is the 9th mixtape from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania emcee, producer & political activist Ghais Guevara . Beginning in 2019 under the original moniker Jaja00, he put out a total of 8 mixtapes & 3 EPs in that span of time until signing to Fat Possum Records last fall. His full-length studio debut Goyard Ibn Said left me highly impressed & was proud “The Old Guard’s Dead” got synced at the very start of Kendrick Lamar’s historic Super Bowl LIX halftime show. I’m pretty sure Ghais himself has beef with me since I got dragged into a tweet he made a month ago regarding xQc using AI to review Playboi Carti ’s new album MUSIC when I’ve repeatedly said that’s not the case & RJ Payne ’s manager Coach Kandaka backing me up on it , yet I’m still covering The Other 2/5ths or The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Trench Baby simply because I was so impressed by hi...
