...star of Deep Water Slang, Vol. 2, the new album from Oakland hip-hop duo Zion I, is producer Amp Live. Amp juggles diverse textures, tempos and musical idioms, lacing the album with complex yet infectious beats. Though MC Zion’s nasal staccato and superior rhythmic sensibility are well suited for these rich backdrops, it’s ultimately the music—not the words—that fuel this lush and energizing record...
...painting from these drawings of Millet's is much more like translating them into another language than copying." Here his free translation of the lamplit Night scene from the Four Times of the Day series, painted in strong pastels, vibrates with rays of pale yellow light in his signature staccato brushstroke. Flanking it are two other night scenes: the Rembrandt Workshop's The Holy Family at Night (1638-40), a large Dutch interior plunged in darkness, with a young mother sitting near a baby's cradle, reading aloud to an older woman by candlelight; and Van Gogh...
...chemistry, they all note in unison, was undeniable, enriched by the fact that each member brought his unique style and background to the League. Owusu-Kesse clearly shows his influences from the lyrical prodigy Jay-Z, with his low-slung staccato rhymes; Terry brings the in-your-face gangsta excitement with wit to spare; Barnes utilizes a Jamaican accent and silky vocals to represent a dancehall flavor with straight-up “ragga” delivery; and Deleon rocks a style that merges the playful, smooth lyricism of underground acts like De La Soul with the rapid-fire flow...

And we mean custom: buyers can specify size, shape, materials and just about any engraved design at prices that range from $25,000 (for a gun with traditional floral and wildlife scenes...
...sniper settled into a grisly staccato of killing, he returned to gas stations and targeted less populated areas, nearer major highways: he killed his ninth victim Wednesday evening while the man was pumping gas at a Sunoco station in Prince William County, Va. And he killed his 10th the next morning, with a state trooper parked just across the way, this time in Fredericksburg, Va., about 50 miles southwest of Washington. Police blocked off I95, stopping all northbound white vans in response to a witness report. Geraldo Rivera, stuck in traffic, began broadcasting live on Fox News from his cell...
