Sure, Nitty Scott is an attractive, soft-spoken female in the concrete jungle where dreams are made of, but she’s a microphone fiend at heart, thus the last name is MC is attached. And while looks can take you places, they tend to get little reverence in the alleys of respect. Gearing up for war for your acceptance, Nitty Scott, MC has her Scotch® tape in one hand and JVC on her shoulder Read the rest of this entry »

Like he already alluded to on feel-good tunes such as “Lush Life” and “Near The End” from his Never Say Never LP, Outasight has the knack for making it sunny like his area code is 215. But make no mistake, the Yonkers harmonizer is comfortable in his zone as he spits bars that circulate like a perfect circle. Figure 8 to be exact, Read the rest of this entry »

So, obviously it’s Valentine’s Day and amongst other things, it is a day observed for a slew of free music under the premise of knockin’ the boots, heartache and faux emotions. Gotta love Hip-Hop for it. Instead of turning the site into the Anthony Thomas music section, we decided to wrangle up the mixtapes/EPs, songs and visuals that are making this day longer than it needs to be.

Before you splash the cash on Talib Kweli Greene’s new album next Tuesday, he and Myspace want you to get the full experience via your desktop to prove to you he has quality to earn your support. Featuring a colorful arrangement of musicians who bring put the grit in the art, see for yourself how the LP got its name and what he plans to bring to the game as the year’s first V.I.P. release.

Outasight makes summer look so overrated. The chilly euphoria of his latest offering is much too ripe with barrenness and lovely slices of arranged harmony to be played while basking in the sunny rays of the middle months. So, it was only inevitable that a visual which captured the essence of New York’s arctic climate was shot, seeing that director Joey Angerone’s camera lens was up for the challenge.

Crazy insane or insane crazy? Whatever the case, Outasight has surrendered all his marbles, scruples and common sense to a 6th Sense track. Blythe with touches of jazz, harmony, Hip-Hop and the supertalent’s own patented saccharine style of vocalization, the audio poetry epitomizes the sound the coolest crooner out uses to wins fans over every day.

If you ever wondered what it was like to see through the eyes of Joe Budden in the morning, now is your chance. The reasoning behind this sensual clip is as hazy as that early morning yawn but concentrating on such blah blah lessens the allure of the video. Tahiry. Topless. Panties. iPad. Not necessarily in that order, either. Read the rest of this entry »

If you live in NYC, you’re in for a fashionably live Hip-Hop show courtesy of the folks over at L-R-G. Keeping their involvement with urban culture stronger than ever, they’re showcasing the illest exhibition with Curren$y, Freddie Gibbs, The Kid Daytona, Aloe Blacc, Cory Gunz, Outasight and Skotch Davis with DJ Clark Kent on the wheels of steel and Peter Rosenberg hosting tomorrow at Santos Party House.

Yes indeedy, it’s currently sweater weather bur L-R-G is staring off into the future towards the days of boughs of holly and mistletoe with their campaign towards the upcoming holiday. Like Curren$y was to autumn, Outasight braves the winter wonderland in Utah alongside a few of the top boarders à la X-Games in Kelly Hart and Chris Grenier. It looked cold enough to make an Eskismo cop a Snuggie but fashion knows no frostbite. Read the rest of this entry »

Outasight has accomplished a multitude of achievements in his musical career, yet he’s not even halfway done. But with every milestone, memory and moment, reflection often serves as clear reminder to pat yourself on the back, no matter what. Below is a montage of some OU’s adventures ranging from press appearances to live performances with “On My Way” from the incredibly strong Never Say Never as the soundtrack.

The title to Outasight’s new project is stemmed from an absolute classic song that most folks haven’t heard but I’ve been sitting over for close to a year now. It symbolizes the sheer optimism OU has layered his music with since day one. An accompanying soundtrack for the common man (and woman). Never say anything that hints of the negative because the right outlook could shift any situation to the positive and beyond. Read the rest of this entry »

Flipping a Tribe sample? Always a good move if you’re trying to create music with ample amounts of soul and swing. 6th Sense does it right on the ones and twos, changing the tune enough to sound fresh while triggering your remembrance of beats and rhymes past. And of course the tune contains the appropriately jazzy caterwauling from Yonkers’ finest, Out-ahhh-site. Can we get Q-Tip or Phife for the remix? Read the rest of this entry »

A couple of TSS favs join forces for a country cousins mashup of sorts. Outasight sets and volleys a layered buttered soul melody and Gangsta Gibbs shows some versatility while still obliterating the track as usual. Never Say Never is just around the corner and you should never underestimate the unifying of two contrasting talents. Read the rest of this entry »

While this promises to be a blockbuster summer of music, let’s not forget that Outasight dropped a stellar project at the very beginning of 2010. We have a while to go, but Further is sure to end up as one of my top five projects of the year. And just as I’m getting “Everyone Gets Laid” out of my head, Sight starts dropping more gems.
