In a triumphant return to a classic Mexican folk genre, SA Studios commissioned LA based rapper and hip hop producer Rome from BYI Entertainment to inject some character into the Machete soundtrack through the addition of a timeless Corridos ballad. Recounting the brave or tragic tales of celebrated men and women, Corridos was a prominent means of storytelling and narrating true events before the advent of mass media in Mexico.
Passing under the radar of sometimes politically biased media, Corridos was news and stories for the people, by the people. Trejo’s Machete was a Corridos song waiting to be sung, and Rome’s selection adds flavor and history to the hero’s fearless quest for revenge. Rome took the time while working on his new mixtape NO EXCUSES to bring us this flavorful masterpiece. MACHETE IN THEATERS NOW

[By Sharmaine Jones] Don’t count Puerto Rico out yet! They earned their first win (84-76) in the FIBA World Basketball Tournament against China last night (August 31) ending a two game losing streak.
We must admit, we were a little nervous at the beginning of the game when China took a 17-7 first quarter lead but our anxiety was put at ease when Angel Vassallo (22 points) led Puerto Rico in a scoring blitz turning a 10 point deficit into a 7 point (44-37) lead at the half.
China was able to close the gap midway through the 3rd quarter led by Yi Jianlian (24 points) and Wang Zhizhi (17 points), but they were ultimately unable to stop Puerto Rico from regaining and maintaining the lead.

“It was done the day Guru passed, April 19,” Premier said. “I wasn’t in the mood to make a beat. Joe was like, ‘My album’s done. I need a closer.’ I sent him one track. He said, ‘that’s not it, let’s work on something else.’ It just happened to be that one. He sent the vocals back. When I heard what he said, I was like WOW. 6 minutes & 30 seconds!”
Aside from his rhymes, Joe talks to close out the song, breaking the regular three- or four-minute song format.
“Let me tell you something: Guru’s my brother. Guru’s my friend,” Joe declared. “Gang Starr, most legendary group in hip-hop. Most pure, uncompromised group ever to touch hip-hop.”
