Street Census—a joint blog venture between your Rizness and Quibian Salazar-Moreno—is now live and direct at Streetcensus.blogspot.com.

In case you're not already familiar with Q, he helped pioneer the daily hip-hop news format at SOHH.com 10 years ago. He currently writes for URB, AOL Blackvoices (even though he's not all that black!), and hiphopcrack.com.

The concept for Street Census is hinged on hip-hop recommendations—best of, worst of, etc—from yours truly, Q, and the artists we run into every now and then. Some of the lists available for your perusal, for instance, include: Stephen Marley's 5 Essential Bob Marley Recordings, Rob Swift's Top 5 Most Influential DJs. and Q's 10 Best Femcees Ever.
