I don’t know about you but sometimes I listen to an artist’s new material and then decide I want to go back to the familiarity of their older work while I acclimate myself to the latest addition. That’s what happened with Read the rest of this entry »

“A Town” – Review Of DJ Drama’s Gangsta Grillz: The Album Vol.2

05.17.09 Written by TC

Still standing after shaking off faulty racketeering charges, DJ Drama remains one of the biggest street A&R’s in the game. The Gangsta Grillz mixtape series still prevails as a deal breaker in solidifying an artist’s independent grind and Drama’s connections with T.I.’s Grand Hustle imprint is one of the strongest in Hip-Hop. Out to pay the bills in a more practical fashion, Drama’s back with the 2nd commercial installment of Gangsta Grillz: The Album; a middling compilation that manages to get the least out of every one of its big name features.

Mayer Hawthorne And The County: Tonight In Hitsville

05.17.09 Written by LC Weber

Come chill with me and M.Z. tonight in Ann Arbor, Michigan, for a live performance from Mayer Hawthorne and The County. If you’re unsure of the music itself come solely to clink a shot and a beer with the TSS Crew. If you’re unsure of us come solely because the drummer in The County — Quintin — is hands down the most Ricky Retardo drummer I’ve ever seen in my life. Read the rest of this entry »

Brazil Gets Beautifully Ill

05.17.09 Written by Gotty™

Traipsing along my e-stroll & stumbled across these pictures of commissioned artwork that were complete brilliance.

Anderson Augusto and Leonardo Delafuente started what is called the 6emeia project, in an effort to liven up the streets of Sao Paulo, Brazil. These storm drains feature some very creative and intricate designs, see for yourself after the jump. You can check out the 6emeia Website for more info.

Take a peek @ the gallery after the break.

Video: Eminem’s Banned “Relapse” TV Commercial

05.17.09 Written by Gotty™

They say “banned.” I say “it’s cheaper and easier to put a clip like this on the net to let it spread viral way.” Banned seems like a stretch because it’s only Em sitting in a tub of V8 and I’ve seen more blood on Grey’s Anatomy (Yo! Izzie lives). Nevertheless Read the rest of this entry »

Jay Rock Feat. – “All My Life” (West Coast Remix)

05.16.09 Written by Gotty™

It looks like they called up every rapper halfway relevant and available (read: not locked up) to jump on the remix to Jay Rock’s “All My Life.” Of course, there’s a few who could have easily been left off (I’m looking @ you TK!) but it’s good to see so many artists come together in, especially considering the Left Coast’s gang culture. Anyways, the break awaits you. Read the rest of this entry »

“Grito de Dolores…”

05.16.09 Written by TSSCrew

Words By Ms. Krish

Oakland-based Hip-Hop group BRWN BFLO is just as much as an anomaly as their namesake: a progressive Chicano Hip-Hop group with bottomless hyphy 808s and an immense stage presence. So while the carnales in SoCal are making you “Lean Like A Cholo”, you can find Somos One, Big Dan, Jacinto and Giant collar-poppin’ in their sets, fully decked in Dios de los Muertes face paint and scaring the beejezus out of the nearest Federal Agent lurking in their audience. You get the feeling that anything is possible when it comes to their dynamic appeal.

What’s fascinating about their style speaks less about their approach, but more of what we, as Hip-Hop fans, might expect from most MCs of Latin descent: that they’re either spitting corny ass Spanglish verses with Lil’ Loca singin’ the hook, stompin’ in their Timbs moonlighting as a poor man’s Big Pun trying to relive 1998 Read the rest of this entry »
