In a month of electronic pop music resurrections, the Lower East Side and Brooklyn “artiste,” Santigold, has been conspicuously absent. However, that absence is no more: the Roc Nation performer bursts back onto the scene with a free new track, “Big Mouth,” and corresponding visuals to sweeten the deal. Read the rest of this entry »

The Beasties are really growing fond of shooting these mini-movies in support of Hot Sauce…Pt. 2, and who could really be mad at that? In an era where television and music videos are as mismatched as Coke® and vodka, the legendary trio could have simply Flip-camera’ed their way onto YouTube and wrestled out plenty of views off of namesake alone.

Although rapidly approaching the half-century mark, all three members of The Beastie Boys are as sprightly as ever. Their recent “Make Some Noise” video proves that Mike D, Ad-Rock and MCA can still spit with the best whippersnappers. Chalk it up as just another career win for the NYC Gentiles. Approaching fast upon the heels of the aforementioned song, the boys release “Don’t Play No Game I Can’t Win,” another track from the upcoming Hot Sauce Committee Part Two LP.

The Beasties call upon Santigold to provide her trademark echo to line the track’s lyrical underbelly. The track has a distinct dub vibe that correlates well with Santigold and The Beastie Boys’ experimental, worldly tendencies. Although there are less bars and more heady rhythms, it provides another chewable morsel while anticipating Part Two’s May 3 release.

Beastie Boys Feat. Santigold – “Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win”

For those fans still not satisfied, The Beasties are streaming Hot Sauce Committee Part Two in its entirety via a TDK 3 Speaker Boombox placed inside MSG. It didn’t provide the sonic inspiration necessary for a Knicks’ series revitalization but its appearance should provide a nice consolation for Carmelo & Co.’s exit.

Pre-order the album on iTunes.

Life + Times lets loose a brand new tune from the Roc’s latest signee Santigold, entitled “Go” and which Santi says has a “dual meaning. On one hand it’s a challenge, beckoning any would-be usurpers to come show and prove.” Read the rest of this entry »

Since we had decent fun and success with Volume 1, we figured we would ahead present The Pack Volume 2 to share tracks that crossed our radar over the past week. No real method to the madness as there’s tracks from Wafeek, Alley Boy, Buff, a Santigold remix of Norah Jones, young old Juvie, Luda, Philadelphia Freeway…you get the picture.

Having been in existence for well over a year, the CDQ of “Soldier” finally makes its online debut. While the previous incarnation had a Wayne verse, his presence is absent from this one. Instead, they opt to bring in Santigold to raise the estrogen & energy levels. Read the rest of this entry »

Look, it takes Andy Milonakis doing Reggae in Auto-Tune, for us to post something remotely in the genre right? Not really but it should help to gain your attention.

Although this track isn’t included on Philly producer Diplo’s reggae project (along with UK house/bass producer Switch) called Major Lazer, the actual album has heat. For clarification purposes, check out Read the rest of this entry »

Terry Urban & Gold Coin Clothing. Santigold beats with Southern songs you know & love. If it’s something you covet, you should grab it now before the crazy baldheads @ Downtown start trippin’.

If KiD CuDi is the crown jewel of GOOD Music then Big Sean is the unfortunate black sheep. He’s been signed to the label for almost two years and hasn’t received the spins, sales and more importantly, recognition of his record label brethren. He has the potential to have a solid career via radio friendly songs that hit the same demo that Ye and CuDi reach. It’s just that he hasn’t had a solid crack at the spotlight.
