Young Goldie pays tribute to the Ivory Queen of Soul Teena Marie and the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin on the remix of “Lay It Down“. Polow elects the legendary Patti Labelle to sing along with Lloyd. Yes, you read correctly Patti Labelle!
“Lay It Down” (Tribute Remix)
Four of the biggest names in Hip-Hop came together on one song. “Syllables” was recorded some three years ago. Eminem, Jay-Z, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, Ca$his and Stat Quo all take shots at mediocre lyricism that has plagued the Rap industry.

Mooz-Lum is an independent film about a young man finding himself and struggling with faith. Caught between quarreling parents and intense stereotypes, Tariq finds himself battling with the traditions of his religion and how society portrays him.
“We’re making a movie that we hope will offer a different perspective on Muslims/Islam than what is normally portrayed. As a result, opening the minds & hearts of millions.”
