Sudan: How Did It Get This Far?

With the official declaration coming today, Sudan will now be two countries. I wondered what happened that lead the southern Sudanese to this action. I found two videos that give a very detailed account of events that lead this point. The first video is about the disputes that arose over oil in which tribes were forced to choose sides in a fight that didn't benefit them. The second video is an Al Jazzera special that gives the entire history of the politics of Sudan and the real reason why the north is Muslim and the south is Christian.

If you haven't heard of Atlanta based hip-hop artist b.ware; you will soon. Who is b.ware you might ask.? b.ware is an artist with an unique style and the rare ability to infuse a positive message into his music without sounding "preachy". b.ware started rapping about 5 years ago and achieved success while in college releasing two promotional CD's; The Quad and Reality and Rhyme.

While in college, he decided that music was his calling and left school to pursue music full time. b.ware presents...The Red Tape Chronicles is b.ware's first release since he made his life altering decision. Though he has released some of his music, b.ware considers this to be the start of his career. I recently had the chance to ask b.ware about his new mixtape and his future plans.
