Eternia & MoSS ft. Joell Ortiz – Its Funny

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

Here’s a Joell Ortiz assisted cut from female MC Eternia’s new project with producer MoSS, At Last.

In 2008, Eternia began recording her sophomore album with MoSS (and fellow Canadian), two years later the LP is complete and the title of the album says it all: At Last! Going where instinct took them, Eternia and MoSS’ collaborative union manifested into a sonically consistent album inspired by classic, boom-bap rap records.

At Last is entirely produced by MoSS and features appearances by some of Hip-hop’s elite, including Joell Ortiz, Termanology, Daytona, Reef The Lost Cauze and luminary female emcees such as Lady Of Rage, Rah Digga and Jean Grae. Eternia is at her finest over MoSS’ production, offering raw, confidant & vulnerable first-person perspectives over gritty and moving soundscapes and At Last promises to resonate in a musical arena where most rap albums fail to deliver beyond a ring-tone single.

Scott “Scooter” Braun is Asher Roth’s manager, but he got arrested today for another act he manages: Justin Bieber. He surrendered himself to Nassau County police today and awaits arraignment on charges of reckless endangerment and criminal nuisance, to which his lawyer says he will plead not guilty.

The arrest stems from a planned mall appearance in Long Island dating back to November. Police told Scooter to send out a Twitter message saying that the event got canceled when the crowd got unruly, but the prosecutor says it took him an hour and a half to write two tweets. His lawyer says it took seven minutes.

If convicted he could spend a year in prison.
