The iPod Shuffle – “Dunn, Dunn”

02.16.11 Written by J. Tinsley

I think we can all agree Shawty Lo is not the next coming of Big Boi or Three Stacks. Still, for as long as I live, why no one ever bothered to remix this record will remain a mystery. Read the rest of this entry »

Your Daily Funk – Band Of Gypsys’ “Who Knows”

02.16.11 Written by Trackstar The DJ

While the Jimi Hendrix Experience made groundbreaking music, the legendary guitarist’s best work came alongside Billy Cox and Buddy Miles in Band of Gypsys. The band was formed during the last two years of Jimi’s life after he disbanded the Experience and only officially released one self-titled album, recorded live at the Fillmore East and clocking in at three-quarters of an hour.

Jon Connor – “American Psycho” Music Video

02.16.11 Written by Beware

Whether he’s releasing street albums, stealing other peoples’ beats with his talent or bodying freestyle songs, Jon Connor doesn’t cease to amaze. The latest notch on his belt is this “American Psycho” video, which scores cool points by re-imagining Christian Bale’s breakout role, but more importantly for putting this Flint native’s double-time flow on full display.

Danny Brown – “Cartier” (Prod. By 14KT)

02.16.11 Written by Gotty™

14KT:

“Did this beat in like 07′. I sent this beat to Danny Brown around maybe 08′-09′. Never heard back from him about the beat until recently when this song popped out on his The Hybrid Deluxe release on iTunes. Word! He wrote a joint about Cartier Sunglasses and the danger of wearing them. Read the rest of this entry »

Gucci Mane’s Return Of Mr. Zone 6 Cover Art & Tracklisting

02.16.11 Written by Gotty™

Just in time for March Madness, Gucci’s The Return Of Mr. Zone 6 will be hitting big block retailers & bodegas on March 22nd. That leaves the featured artist approximately one month to stay clear of the law’s radar so he can be around to enjoy the release party hoopla. Read the rest of this entry »

Penny Hardaway’s Game Winner

02.16.11 Written by J. Tinsley

Next Sunday’s All Star Game will mark the 15 year anniversary of my favorite starting line up of all time – Michael Jordan, Penny Hardaway, Scottie Pippen, Shaquille O’Neal and Grant Hill. Two are in the Hall of Fame (with one considered the GOAT), two are still playing and one is an all star – a rec league all star. Read the rest of this entry »

Hoodie Allen – “You Are Not A Robot” Music Video

02.16.11 Written by Beware

If you’re interested in seeing someone sprinting full-on from dysfunctional folks dressed in decorated cardboard boxes, then we highly suggest you check out Hoodie Allen’s new music video for “You Are Not A Robot.” Packed full of funnies and properly-placed pen etiquette, the well-executed, low-budget visual finds the Long Island MC steering clear of short-circuited androids looking to turn him into another replication and is pretty darn good for being his first official video.

YelaWolf Feat. Bun B – “Good To Go” Video

02.16.11 Written by Gotty™

“One time for ya boy Pimp C, Pocket full of stooonesss…”

The latest from YelaWolf as “Good To Go” gets a largely monochromatic visual treatment. Of course, co-starring Bun B and featuring a cameo from P-Rod. The song and accompanying bass are still as heavy and powerful as the first time I heard the track. Read the rest of this entry »

Video: Wale’s No Days Off Documentary

02.16.11 Written by Ryan J.

There is a sort of unabashed cool and swagger about the DMV’s lead spokesman, Wale. He walks, talks and dresses boisterously and he’s definitely not afraid to speak his mind – or even stop speaking to take a breath. While some might point to those qualities as the surest signs of an asshole, they’re what make his music addictive ear candy almost every time he drops a new verse. RoyalRae Productions’ latest documentary of Wale’s recent trip to Clark Atlanta University, No Days Off, supports this personality disposition, whether one is a fan of the DC lyricist or not.

Video: Adele’s Tiny Desk Concert For NPR

02.16.11 Written by Ben Lampin

Adele’s raw, powerful voice draws emotion to the surface like a pump drawing oil from deep within the heart of the Earth. Her latest effort, 21, has recently been in heavy rotation for me, and it’s an exceptional piece of work. However, instead of the lush orchestration of her studio effort, this NPR Tiny Desk Concert showcases the British-born star in a totally different light. Read the rest of this entry »

Skewby – “Sunny” Music Video

02.16.11 Written by Beware

We’re a little late on posting Skewby’s new music video for “Sunny” – the MC’s well-timed, viral Valentine’s Day present to fans – but considering the theme, I think he’ll forgive us. Centered around the Hallmark holiday every good guy loathes, the clever concept behind this slick visual from Skewb’s highly-slept-on More Or Less LP shows the Memphis tiger going above and beyond for a lady friend, only to be let down when their schedules can’t coexist.

Siya & Olympick Music Group Present Elevator Dreams

02.16.11 Written by TC

Unabashed and outspoken, Siya is moving on up in the rap game without moving a muscle with her latest contribution to the clouds with her Elevator Dreams project. Convening with super-production outfit The Olympicks, there’s plenty of inebriation to get you lifted as heard on the spacey “Sip Of You” or the smooth-as-butter “Smoke, Drink” where lyricism comes heavy by the ounce.

Raven Sorvino – Inspired EP

02.16.11 Written by MZ

There’s a fine line between drawing inspiration and straight jacking your idol’s steez with reckless abandon. Which is why nearly 10 years after her passing Aaliyah remains in our minds for reasons outside of her musical legacy. Richmond, TX native Raven Sorvino luckily sidesteps most of the obvious comparisons because she raps, but she’s still paying her respect to Aaliyah with her Inspired EP. Backed by the Language Artz Records & released in collaboration with HipNott Records x Kevin Knottingham x Ashley Outrageous x Pistol Etiquette, Sorvino’s ready to start her own legacy over flips of Aaliyah’s work.
