PLEASE HELP!

Hey Guys,

I NEED YOUR HELP! A friend of mine by the name of Elizabeth Hoke is a 10 year child out of Las Vegas with a rare cancer called Burkitt's Lymphoma Disease. The disease is a cancer of the lymphatic system and is a rare disease that attacks children. Unfortunately my friend has been very sick and this Christmas we need to come together and help her and her family so they can pay for her medical bills and to also ensure that Elizabeth has an exciting Christmas as we all once had as children or even now!!! I don't ask for much so please if you can donate, all funds will go directly to her trust fund with Bank of America.

I blessingly have 5000+ friends on myspace and if we all can donate atleast $1 or $2 then we can make a very huge impact. I will be accepting donations on the behalf of her family thru December 25th and will be sending it to her in a cookie jar!

It takes one minute to go to my webpage and donate thru paypal by clicking on the donate button on www.merzva.com

All donations are greatly appreciated!

Thanks & Happy Holidays,

-Merz

P.H.I.L.T.H.Y. the Ambassador of Agape

Philthy hails from Michigan, probably one of the most significant emcees out of the Lakes right now. I listened to this dude's music and he has reminiscent voice of Mos Def. His music also carries character and soul. Something everybody needs in music right now! I got an email from my boy and found out Philthy is doin an EP download with producer Jansport J. Jansport J is known for official remixing records for Kool G Rap and making record for AZ which was featured on hiphopdx.com! The album is called "Lovesongs for
Losers & Ballads for Ballers". I'll be getting some snippets from the records and yall can respectably come back thru and check him out! Peep him after the jump

First off, somebody got slept on concrete by my dude from Mob Zombie before the show. Respectfully, don't bring that ish around here or you will get slept. The BBS ain't bout that, we come here to give everybody good music, it's a good vibe. SO son, if you the one that got hooked into a 180 degree spin to flat on your back, don't bring that shit back, cuz it will happen again! ha ha that shit was funny. Sleep in Peace homie. Anyway, the BBS again had another successful night celebrating the 3rd year it's been running and showcasing the new alumni all-stars for the 08-09 season. My highlights for the night was the Antonio Tarver vs. Klitschko fight in the beginning, Trinity and JR vs. Dj Duwop. Yes man vs. machine!!! Overall it was a pleasant night so enjoy the show.

I Voted Barack Obama & Joe Budden!
