Nelson Mandela Dies at 95
After a long battle with myriad health issues, Nelson Manela, South Africa's first black president, has passed away at the age of 95. "We will always love Madiba for teaching us that it is possible to overcome hatred and anger in order to build a new nation and a new society", said current president Jacob Zuma. His death was felt all over the world. Though we knew this day would eventually come, we are saddened by Mandela's passing and we hope that his life will foster a future of love and equality.   |

A single from Busta's upcoming Extinction Level Event 2 called "Thank You" demonstrates the chemistry shared by one of hip-hop's golden-age greats and one of its most idiosyncratic personalities.
