I got to see Reggie “Nobody Famous” Perry perform at USC’s fall-fest a couple weeks ago with J.Cole. He had them college kids waving and bobbing to his own renditions of Kanye’s “Flashing Lights” to Outkast’s “ATLiens.“ Nobody Famous recently answered acouple questions regarding the ATL music scene, his new workshop for aspiring hip hop artists, and his Project Generation D. More on this past URB intern after the jump!

Björk released the video for her song “The Comet Song” through her website today; which is part of a Finnish Children’s film, Moomins and the Comet Chase.

It started with one person, Echo Park resident Barry Walker, who cooked and delivered Turkey Day meals to the homeless in his neighborhood… and now a group of friends in Echo Park have shown up to help cook and deliver meals for the past 10 years – the first year, 28 homeless were fed! The next year more showed up and over fifty meals went out. The following year, we reached the 100 mark and last year we were able to feed over 1,500 homeless in our neighborhood and leave them with t-shirts, beanies, shoes, sweaters, and tooth brush kits.
