VIDEO: Snake Island (Full Documentary)

The highest concentration of one of the most venomous snakes in the world is located about 90 miles off the coast of Santos, Brazil, on a small, craggy chunk of otherwise uninhabitable land. It's known as Ilha da Queimada Grande, or Snake Island, and it's the only place you will find 2,000 or so of the wholly unique golden lancehead viper, or Bothrops insularis.

Taye Zooited's "A Gangsta’s Way" (Album Review by Jhantu Randall)

Read More by Jhantu Randall I’ve covered Zooited Gang in articles quite a bit throughout the previous year, whether directly or indirectly. From highlighting them as a group to describing that high energy vibe they bring to every performance while also trying to show who they were as individual artists by pushing attention towards their videos. As a group, Zooited Gang has recently put out their project “Welcome To The Zoo” and now, fresh off of that, Taye Zooited is releasing his solo project “A Gangsta’s Way.” The sound of this project really sticks to the formula of what makes a quintessential West Coast album stand out.
