“I dedicate the song “Gone” to my friend Sally Menke and its my gift to her memory. I feel music is the best gift I can give and I’m giving it away to Wu-Disciples for free in her name. Who ever like the song can send a blessing of positive energy to Sally’s family and her legacy. Peace.” – RZA

Stevie Wonder learned this week that it doesn’t hurt to have the most powerful man in the world as a card carrying member of your fan-club.  President Obama awarded Stevie with the Gershwin Prize, which is given to a composer or performer for their lifetime contributions to popular music.

The RZA will be taking part in HBO’s “The Black List: Volume 2″, which features succesful African Americans discussing the paths they took in overcoming adversity.     The show premiered last night, but will be rebroadcasted periodically.

Daily Noise is reporting that Jane’s Addiction will be releasing 30 previously unreleased songs on April 21st.  The box set will be titled A Cabinet of Curiosities and includes rarities, live performances, a full show and a documentary on DVD.   

The more I read about Kanye West’s upcoming Storytellers, the more excited I get.  Stereogum is reporting that VH1 had to edit out a few of West’s stories, including one that glorified O.J. Simpson, one where West whines about being snubbed by Thom Yorke at the Grammys, and one where West asks the audience to take pity on Chris Brown for his “mistake”.
