(AllHipHop News) New York City has always been a veritable incubator for young, creative artists and what . Up and comping musical collective Adrian Daniels & The Stoners gathered a myriad of under 25 music talent at Webster Hall for Welcome To Stonerland.
Urban contemporary artist Adrian Daniel prides himself on being unwavering of his vision even if he is perceived as a “hard a*s”, but that does not mean he’s not willing help.
I want to because, I feel like..he’s an artist that, it’s unfortunate, but I’ll say this, the urban community does not accept him enough. If the urban community accepts me and that’s fine, I can be that bridge for him, then that’s dope.
Adrian Daniel & The Stoners already have released Memoirs of a Stoner and Native. While 2013 was relatively quiet for the productive singer, Adrian promises a sequel to Memoirs of a Stoner as well as two more projects to be released by the end of this year.
Check out a recap of our interview with Adrian Daniel & The Stoners:

Ahhhhhh…..do you know who this is?
That dude is Grandmaster Melle Mel and he’s in the Rock-N-Roll Hall of Fame for his early work in Hip-Hop as a part of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. To my knowledge, Mel doesn’t have any kids to carry on the great lineage. Now in his 50’s, a crazy rumor just came out of the box.
Word on the streets is that Melle Mel was expecting a kid! Over the weekend, he apparently had dinner with a pregnant woman and they toasted. But, my sources are saying this is purely false. I don’t even know where these rumors come from.
