"No Mistakes" is such a laid-back and comforting track that director harv was right to sit Classified in a chair on the porch and show him hanging out in his room, making beats, fiddling with a guitar, and sketching honest, self-deprecating and full-on funny lyrics by the side of his bed. So appropriate! And great to watch. The shots where the camera pulls back through tubes and rings are entrancing, and the slow zooms give the thing a subtle life that keeps your eyes on the screen. Although Class mentions that some of his past videos are better viewed with the picture off and the sound up, this is not one of them ? you?re gonna want to watch. - MuchMusic
Rude Boy is the first video from State Of Emergency, the Tru-Paz' second LP. Akim, Boozy and DJ Unknown team their conscious flow with director Marc Andre Dubruyne?s feel for classic urban themes and come up with a clip that comes off as a toned down version of Menace II Society. Still sobering, though, documenting a varied cast that at times searches for jobs, plays basketball, and runs from less-than-friendly acquaintances. - MuchMusic
Classified featuring Royce 5'9" and Choclair: "Unexplainable Hunger"
"Gritty urban narrative is the name of this game. The players: 2 Canucks - newcomer Classified, vet Choclair and a American guest, Royce Da 5'9". Each rapper takes on a role in this heist tale and, as their raps reflect their characters' motivations, it takes the video to a new level. The end result - dare we even suggest - is a sobering look at morality on the streets. Since few people do narrative videos anymore this one is definitely worth a close look". - MuchMusic (Canada) This is the fourth video release from Classified's album "Boy-Cott-In The Industry" in stores now!
Director Garry Tutte directs DL in this dance-centric club clip for Verbalerity,the second single off Life's A Collection of Experiences.

He's entitled to be feeling pretty good; Life's A Collection was Juno-nominated and his next LP, Organic Music For A Digital World is due March 2006. - MuchMusic

Download.com guide to Jet Audio
During installation, you have to be careful if you don't want to set JetAudio Basic as the default application for audio and video files. However, the freeware application gives you plenty of reasons to make it your only player. The interface has a modern design that looks like an equalizer. You can customize each section of the program, from CD ripping to format conversion, to your heart's content. The program can convert files among some 10 formats, as well as read and edit MP3 tags. The built-in Cross-fader, Reverb, and Wide-sound modes provide a nice touch not found in most MP3 players. The program becomes truly unique with its clock, however, which features a timer and an alarm. We also appreciate the inclusion of a tool for seeking out song lyrics. Our only quibble is it treats a playlist as an album but uses the artist as its primary key field, making it difficult to locate mixes. JetAudio Basic's appealing product set should attract audiophiles.
