The Kid Daytona – The Daytona 500

Posted in Artists, Mixtapes on May 5th, 2009 by Hyphen

As I alluded to here, The Kid Daytona is one of the nicest MC’s doing it right now and I’m anxiously awaiting his debut album, Come Fly With Me.  To help set up the project and make sure that people are aware of the talent, he’s teamed up with Mick Boogie to drop The Daytona 500.  Each track flips the same legendary sample that Ghostface used (Bob James’ “Nautilus”), but Daytona and his stable of producers make each joint different and their own.  You need to download this immediately.

1.  The First Lap
2.  The Wings {prod. 6th Sense}
3.  The Body {prod. Ill Bomb}
4.  The Engine {prod. Double 0}

This song is so fire that they put it on the last Cornerstone Mixtape twice hahaha.  Rest assured, no matter how dope a song is, you aren’t gonna hear it twice in 30 minutes on our mix…

By the way, Cornerstone Mixtape #115 drops any day now!  You ready?

Pharrell, Julian Casablancas, & Santogold – My Drive Thru (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on July 9th, 2008 by Hyphen

I’m not a huge fan of this track, but I dig all the artists involved with it.  I just like their separate work more I suppose.  Either way, here’s the video for the song that Converse & Cornerstone helped put together.  Videos like this are hilarious to me, since I know the artists probably shot two takes for a total of 15 minutes in front of a green screen.  Then some unlucky (but talented) editors slaved away for weeks, turning the raw footage into the piece of art you see above.  The visuals are dope.  Shout to all my Cornerstone folk, what up Blaze!
