‘Everything I’ve experienced is someone else’s experience,’ he tells Mixtape Daily of starting from ‘ground zero.’ By Rob Markman SL Jones Photo: MTV News Fire Starter: SL Jones Little Rock, Arkansas, native SL Jones didn’t start out wanting to rap, but moving to Atlanta and hanging around acts like Outkast and Killer Mike can provide plenty of inspiration. “I started out as a graphic artist, so I love to draw, and then I went to Atlanta with a passion for drawing, and when I got there, I found my passion for music,” Jones told Mixtape Daily. After making the move three years ago, SL began recording music that found its way into the hands of Killer Mike, thanks to a studio engineer who worked at Outkast’s Stankonia Studios in ATL. Mike took Jones under his wing and added him to his Grind Time crew, a collective that also includes Maybach Music Group’s Pill. The first order of business for Jones was to drop his 2008 debut mixtape, C.O.L.O.R.S. ” C.O.L.O.R.S was just me wanting to exist,” he said. “I remember that year in particular, Weezy had emerged, and he was just killing everything, and I was like, ‘Maaaan.’ I know I’m just as good as anybody out here, but how could people take you seriously if you don’t have one project out?” Still, for a young spitter, hanging around more established acts can skew one’s perspective. Though he was hardly established, Jones was experiencing things that most rap rookies don’t get a chance to. It was important for him not to get caught in the hype. “I’m in the studio, I’m around everybody. I’m around Outkast, Killer Mike. He done took me on tour with him, I done been around the country twice,” SL said. “At what point do you just go back to ground zero and say, ‘I gotta work for mines.’ Everything I’ve experienced is someone else’s experience.” On his latest mixtape, The Number 23 — which serves as a nod to his native 23rd and Wolfe streets in Little Rock — SL hooked up with tape host and producer DJ Don Cannon and continued to carve out his identity. “That meant a whole lot, because Don watched me grind,” he said. “It wasn’t like I came out of nowhere and just came with a check like, ‘Hey, Don, do this for me.’ ” For other artists featured in Mixtape Daily, check out Mixtape Daily Headlines .

This guy has got to be the envy of college students across the world… Denver is at the peak of a citywide pot boom. It all started after the U.S. Attorney General’s office — in a shift of policy since the Bush administration — announced in 2009 that it would not prosecute marijuana users if their state permits use of the drug for medical reasons. “It just blew up from there,” William Breathes tells weekends on All Things Considered host Guy Raz. Colorado had permitted use of medical marijuana since 2000, but now it had a stamp of approval from the federal government. So Breathes — employed by Westword, Denver’s weekly alternative newspaper — became perhaps the first professional marijuana critic in the country. William Breathes is his pen name, of course. Like a food critic, he remains anonymous to the businesses he reviews. Says “William” about his writing: “We have more than 100,000 licensed medical marijuana cardholders in the state,” he says. That’s fueled the growth of dispensaries, which now outnumber Starbucks in Denver. More than 300 dispensaries are in business citywide. That’s a lot of options for readers of Westword, Breathes says. “When I’m reviewing marijuana, I’m looking for how clean it’s grown, how well it’s grown,” he says. But he’s also reviewing the dispensary itself. “How would an older patient feel going into this place?” he says. “How would someone new to cannabis feel in this place? If it makes me feel icky going into a place, then it would probably make my grandma feel icky. And there’s plenty of grandmas around the Denver community with medical marijuana cards going to these dispensaries.” Damn Denver, talk about Rocky Mountain “high”. Wonder does Mr. Breathes get the munchies, fall asleep, and miss his deadlines? Source

The leader of Jamaat-e-Islami of Pakistan , the country’s largest and most powerful pro-Sharia party, recently affirmed that a woman should not report being raped unless she has four male Muslim witnesses who saw the act. He bases his claim on Qur’anic ground: “Why did they not produce four witnesses? Since they produce no witnesses, they verily are liars in the sight of Allah” (Qur’an 24:13).
