VID: DAVID BANNER FEAT. REMO- "STRANGE" (PRODUCED BY 9TH WONDER)

2010-03-16T00:41:00.000-07:00

9th Wonder's production seems to bring out the best in many rappers...What's "Strange" is DB is no exception. I feel the direction Banner is going in and the last 2 songs he has released off of the Death of A Popstar release have been better than solid. Hmmm.. the jury is still out tho. 1 more might solidify my hunch. We shall see people, we shall see. Bird's Eye... LEGGGGOOOOOO!

P.S. The second vid is the 1st release "Slow Down" in which this winning chemistry took form! Check that out too. Dismissed. (Flight Skool Lunch Period Commences)

CLASSIC Devin the Dude smoker's anthem! I loved the Landing Gear album and quiet as its kept he has got quite a few classic tracks and close 2 classic albums. In my book he is 1 of the most slept on lyricists that have been in the game 4 a while. Listen and see if u don't G BOOGIE 2 this! LOL. His album Suite #420 drops 04/20/10 (A)(T)(F)

VID: BLEEK- STILL ILL (OFFICIAL)

2010-03-16T00:19:00.000-07:00

I am feelin the song and the video! It gives backstage access on the BP3 Tour and shows what Beanz was on b4 he went "in his bag" at Powerhouse in Philly. Solid effort from the BK underdog. The Process droppin' real soon. I might give Bleek an ear 4 this effort. Once was 1 of my fav rappers but all the albums after The Understanding just didn't live up to my expectations. I got luv 4 the homie Bleek tho and I hope he lands firm on both feet with this release.

I apologize 4 the delay but just in case u r 1 of the maybe 7 people that haven't heard drizzy's new single.... HERE IT IS! LoL. They played it all night on the radio in NYC. It sounded a lil akward 2 start wit that chorus. Its almost like the beat and hook collide but the beat and overall song is COOOOOOLD. I think its the perfect lead off single. U gotta secure a base hit before u swing 4 the fence! It has that same feeling like how Hov puts out a base hit before he hits about 3 straight HR's out the park. I hope so 4 his sake at least. LoL. I also like the fact that he went his own route with the 1st single. This is def not a stereotypical pop 1st single 4 the radio. Reeeespect!

Artist Spotlight: The Foreign Exchange

2010-03-03T12:47:00.000-08:00

The Foreign Exchange feat. Muhsinah - "Daykeeper" from The Foreign Exchange on Vimeo.

If you do not know about this group you are doing yourselves a serious injustice! They are a talented group formed by Nicolay (producer from the Netherlands) and Phonte (lead lyricist in Little Brother). They have had 2 albums (Connected and Leave It All Behind) which are both in my opinion CLASSICS and are completely different in terms of sound. Me and my friends took our girlz to a show they had at BB Kings in Time Square and had an absolute ball. They perform just as great as they sound on records. It might have been the best concert I have pesonally ever been to. Check them out please! Do your research ASAP.
SIDENOTE: They were nominated for a GRAMMY this year but India Arie's bland ass got the award! Grrrrr...

These are some of my favorite tracks of Hector Lavoe. They were on the El Cantante Soundtrack and it's dope! I dont know spanish but I'm fluent in understanding good muzik. Check it out if u are open minded with an eclectic listening pallet. This aint for everybody but I'm posting it cuz I feel like the people that are fond of instrumentation would like it...A LOT! Open your mind to other genres people. There is a whole other world of muzik out there! GO! ATF.

KANYE WEST- COLDEST WINTER (OFFICIAL VID)

2010-02-23T12:19:00.001-08:00

KANYE WEST "Coldest Winter" Directed by: NABIL "ITUNES link below" from nabil elderkin on Vimeo.

I'm going 2 keep it 100. The visual appeal and aesthetics of the video were tough! However, I could not draw any parallels to the video and the actual message of the song. It really look'd like shorty runnin' from the boogieman in slo-mo for 4 minutes! LOL. Wasn't too impressed but I'm sure the Kanye Stans will eat it up like Sunday Dinner. Maybe he will get another undeserved award for another sub par video.
Song is tough tho. 2nd hottest joint off the album. AHH WELL...ATFski!

Wu-Massacre: Behind The Scene from Mazi O. Video on Vimeo.

WU MASSACRE!!! This is the behind the scenes of the 1st single off the album Rae, Meth, and Ghost are puttin out! Should be classic as they are my favorites in the WU Camp (and most recognizable). I will continue posting the ill shit they got in store until the album drops. Hopefully this album captures "Feature Meth" and not "Album Meth" cause he been featured on some hip hop classics and has had some very forgetable solo albums.

Up Close and Personal w/ STALLEY

2010-02-20T21:25:00.000-08:00

I like this cats energy... he is part of the indy movement that Dame Dash got brewin' over at DD172. He has been featured on the CREATIVE CONTROL vlog contributing verses to songs by the likes of Curren$y and The Cool Kids. He got flow and seems to have a genuine appreciation for the art. The Cleveland native has got his foot in the door, now I'm anxious to see what he's going to do with his opp. STAY TUNED...

MY PICK for who's taking home the crown for Valedictorian of the XXL Class of 2010. The bul from Fayetville got flow and does not disappoint in his opportunity to set himself apart from fellow class mates... I see him making his mark in the game with a classic 1st album in 2010. Prediction...YES. We shall see if I am in fact psychic or just a well wisher. Last year was Aubrey...This year I think Jermaine will be the "golden child" LOL. A...T...F

WIZ KHALIFA- XXL FREESTYLE FRESHMEN CLASS OF '10

2010-02-18T22:44:00.000-08:00

Wiz's bars are recycled from the Mazeltov track off of Curren$y's Smokee Robinson mixtape that I think might be the best song on the entire mixtape. 1) If u listen to the song which u most definitely should he went off on it (sounds worse acapella). 2) Glad to see that the young emcee hailing from Pittburgh is gettin' his shine and claimin his righteous spot in the game with him and Curren$y shapin' up 2 be the new skool Red n Meth. Watch 4 this guy! You'll be pleasantly suprised. ATF STAMP OF APPROVAL. Wings...
