Bitter Sweet

Cliff

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bitter Sweet is a plethora of vivid, urban short stories that leave nothing to the imagination. From the first to the last story, author Clifford Brown will abduct you and hold you hostage to the drama. Brown taps into his sub-conscious and feminine ego to authenticate the human experience of love and sexuality, while maintaining his masculine point of view.

Brooklyn native, C. Brown, is the type of author who is not afraid to venture into realms of existence that most people dare not go. He is skilled in the intricacies of the contemporary, human condition and lends credibility to his fictional stories with the depth of reality that exists in each of us. Readers will identify with one of his many works, if not all.

Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2

Hip-Hop Legend Raekwon the Chef, celebrates the release of Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II, at Santos with “Diddy.”

New York, NY – August 25, 2009 – fans and friends of Raekwon the Chef will gather on Tuesday, September 8, 2009 at Santos Party House, to celebrate the release of Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II.  Sean “Diddy“ Combs will host this long awaited event, and HOT 97’s morning personality Peter Rosenberg and DJ Kid Capri, will be on the wheels. 

 The album release party [presented by Ice H20 Records and Littles] is expected to be one of those legendary moments in New York City Hip-Hop history.  Easily considered one of the most influential Hip-Hop albums of it’s time, Raekwon’s 1995 smash solo project “Only Built 4 Cuban Linx” remains at the top of every Hip-Hop “Best of” list.  After a brief recording hiatus and years on the road as both solo artist and member of the ground breaking Wu-Tang Clan, “The Chef” will release his new album on September 8th on his Ice H2O Record label.

Raekwon says of the project, “I’m excited; this is a true evolution from where we began. I’m also overwhelmed by the love and support that I’ve received. My long time friend and Hip-Hop veteran, Diddy reached out to offer his support and agreed to host the event. All of the artists involved, extended themselves for the release of my long-awaited album because we all feel Hip-Hop as a whole, is in need of unity. Magazines are closing; online storefronts are struggling because music sales are down. It’s time for Vets like myself to set the trend and strengthen the lane. Dinosaurs like myself are supposed to create the blue print for the new breed to follow.”

The cast of attendees include Busta Rhymes, Method Man, Lyfe Jennings, Talib Kweli, Beanie Siegel, Ghostface and Slick Rick. The stars will align and converge on the hottest red carpet of the summer. Invited guests include: Kanye West, Fabolous, Jay Z, Swizz Beats, Naughty By Nature, Ice T & Coco, Anthony Anderson, Felicia “Snoop” Pearson, and many more.
