Canibus Of Tranquility
With the release of Canibus' latest album, the 10th of his illustrious career C Of Tranquility, having finally arrived, the accomplished lyricist celebrates the release as he hits his fans up with another sharp-tongued single, "Title 17 USMC."

Atop producer Martin's steadily cadenced drums, Canibus' lyrics march through the song with calculated precision, while the intertwining of guitar licks and deep bass notes add to the track's hardened air.

As an emcee known throughout his career for his displays of verbal supremacy mixed vivid story telling, this latest track comes no holds barred as he opens the track with lines like, "I'm in the meeting with surgeon general of written text/ The battery of 1,000 psychological tests/ I am exhausted and stressed, but I continue to press/ She asked me if I'm the best, I sign language-ed back, 'YES'." - more on this story

Itzhak Perlman and the Nashville Symphony Announce New Year's Eve Concert
(Nashville Symphony) Eight months after massive flooding caused nearly $40 million in damages to Schermerhorn Symphony Center, the Nashville Symphony's concert hall will reopen to the public with a New Year's Eve concert featuring violin virtuoso Itzhak Perlman and the Nashville Symphony. Music Director Giancarlo Guerrero will lead the orchestra. The concert will begin at 9 p.m.

Schermerhorn Symphony Center has been closed for repairs since widespread flooding throughout Middle Tennessee in early May caused extensive damage to the building. At its highest point, the water reached 24 feet, filling the building's basement and sub-basement with an estimated 5 million gallons of water.

In the months since, repair crews led by American Constructors, Inc. have worked around the clock to replace the building's electrical system, heat-and-air system and commercial kitchen, all of which were destroyed by the flood. In addition, the Symphony will be replacing two Steinway grand pianos and the 50 musical instruments in its educational "Instrument Petting Zoo." - more on this story
