Another Transmission from The Diabolical Doctor Strange: "guerilla godz presents - omega the unknown featuring ari yusef" (Facebook Video)


Last Friday afternoon, I received a vaguely villainous message from The Diabolical Doctor Strange AKA Solomon Strange AKA Solomon Caine. It simply read: "guerilla godz presents omega the unknown featuring ari yusef" and I was tagged along with 45-50 of his trusty Facebook Friends & Followers. It would appear as though, it breaks down a little something like this - Omega The Unknown is the EP title, Ari Yusef is the artist, and Guerilla Godz is, of course, the label/crew. Omega The Unknown consists of nearly 9 minutes-worth of untitled tracks produced by The Diabolical Doctor Strange artfully laid beneath an unknown 1980-90's Manga. Otherwise, little information is known concerning the release; although, Omega The Unknown's comic book-esque cover artwork features cryptic phrases such as, "INVINCIBLE GUARDIANS OF WORLD FREEDOM!" "THE DEATH OF THE FOLLOWERS OF LIGHT..." "THE DESTRUCTION OF SHOGUN SANCTUARY--" and "YOU DARE NOT MISS: THE LIGHT THAT FAILED!" Many of you might recognize Ari Yusef's name from Doctor Strange-penned The Witzard Presents: A Transmission from The Diabolical Doctor Strange of The Guerilla Godz Universe from late last year, wherein he's effectively referred to as one half of Ari Yuseff & Ab Soul Jah AKA The Unimaginables AKA "The Ten Elements of The Universe."


"Ari Yuseff, they say, is hundreds of thousands, if not millions of years old, but ever-growing in power and strength, due to the fact he is a [deity] and is empowered by the faith and praise of The Nuwabu," Solomon Strange explained within A Transmission from The Diabolical Doctor Strange of The Guerilla Godz Universe. Ari Yusef AKA Ari Yuseff previously appeared within the diabolical doctor strange and friends' critically acclaimed 2017 album, doctor strange and friends, as well as solomon strange's year-end street album/mixtape, The Friday Night Philosopher. Honestly, it's a bit hard to properly discern and explain exactly what's happening on Ari Yusef's Omega The Unknown, although, I will say this: it's a hard-as-nails collection of unique beats and ferocious rhymes. Yusef's vocal delivery and overall artistic presence is something similar to that of DOOM, Wu-Tang Clan, MADVILLAINY, Gravediggaz, or CZARFACE. while still remaining extremely original. The Diabolical Doctor Strange's atmospheric production work throughout Omega The Unknown is evocative of J Dilla, Madlib, "The Old Kanye," RZA, and The Alchemist; somehow, Doctor Strange even manages to effortlessly work in a sample culled from Sérgio & Mendes & Brasil '66's "Cinnamon & Clove" from their world-renown 1968 album, Equinox. For now, Omega The Unknown is "a release that might never be released" and for the foreseeable future, will remain strictly limited to Solomon Strange's Facebook page.

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra

3 Feet High & Rising: Band of Bearded Brothers Cellar Door Moon Crow Unleash Rollicking Single "Whistler" from Upcoming Blues Rock EP (Bandcamp, self-released)

Whistler by Cellar Door Moon Crow British Rock 2-piece band Cellar Door Moon Crow mysteriously found and Followed The Witzard (@SharpCheddar856) on Twitter a few months ago. Their Facebook About section simply lists a brief, yet fitting, mission statement: "Band ~ Beards ~ Brothers Goodwin brothers Phil & Tommy . Sheffield, UK " and their accompanying Biography section contains a similar refrain: "Band ^ Beards ^ Brothers," as well as their Bandcamp page. There really isn't much else to be known about twin brothers Phil & Tom Goodwin , aside from the fact that they make infectious, down and dirty Rock "N" Roll —all entirely written, recorded, produced, and mixed in-house by Cellar Door Moon Crow (CDMC) themselves. CDMC 's Bandcamp page often tags their musical output as " British Rock , Rock, Blues Rock , two-piece band, Sheffield " and I would best liken their sound to a stylistic mix between The Black Keys , Thir

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of
