Stones Throw Records recently dropped Stones Throw: Ten Years to celebrate a decade of quality music.

Brother Ali's album has been pushed back and is now set to drop April 10th. I recently got my hands on an advance copy so be on the lookout for our first Long Crisp White Album Review.

Speaking of Sean P, he's reportedly working on a new album featuring Stones Throw's Guilty Simpson.

Not to be outdone, Q-Tip is set to drop two albums in '07

This one isn't hip-hop related, but you gotta love the balls on Hugo Chavez.
