After hearing the news that Posterous had been acquired by Twitter, I thought it was time to move the blog over to WordPress. I’ve been curious about the WordPress platform for some time now so it seemed like a good time to make the transition.

So the SNE Promo Blog can be found at the new address:

http://snellc.wordpress.com

Thank you to everyone who submitted content to the blog, plus a huge thanks to all the readers for checking out my little place on the internets. :)

Be sure to stay tuned at the new address (bookmark it!), there will be more features and surprises to come!

Actually, it's an anti-music video (see the video's title on YouTube). However, I can appreciate the whispering rap in the library stacks in the clip.

For those in Cincy, be sure to check out the duo Wonder Brown and MC Forty along with Sean Little and MC Till at Triple Trouble, a triple album release party on Saturday 3/3 at Rohs Street Cafe. Here's a bit of info about the event:

They say "good things come in threes," but March 3 the saying will be "good hip-hop acts come in threes." Rohs Street Cafe will host the triple album release show of hometown artists MC Till, Sean Little, and the duo, Wonder Brown & MC Forty. The group of MC’s is known beyond their music for their impact on the community. MC Till helps lead the Walnut Hills Fellowship, a non-profit organization that reaches out to Walnut Hills families in need. Sean Little teaches a hip-hop course for aspiring artists in Evansville, Indiana. Before enrolling into the University of Cincinnati, MC Forty worked as a mentor at Elementz Hip Hop Youth Center in Over the Rhine. Wonder Brown, who also attends University of Cincinnati, leads an open mic to showcase young, up-and-coming talent. The triple album release show is a celebration of hip hop and community. The doors open at 8:00 pm and the cover is $3.

About the track:

The Light is about persevering and finding your way out of uncertain circumstances, through the light and purpose inside of you can make it past their struggles. Life is fickle and as people we often find ourselves under circumstances that test our spirit and will. The Light is that experience within that gives someone the ability to rise above personal obstacles and gives them strength to overcome their obstacles, a pivotal display of will and strength we've seen from many people in history. The song is an anthem for those people in the pursuit of their pivotal moment and is a proclamation that if anyone moves towards their goal they will get past their struggles and rise above and this is all achieved by finding the light.
