As I mentioned before, there are few things better than a Curren$y and Nardwuar conversation. I mean, just look at the frame above. Simply awesome.
“…and now she grants wishes!?!?!?”
Wiz connects with the homey Jake One (again…they did multiple records for the Snoop/Wiz project) on “The Grinder” off Taylor Allderdice. A lot of folks have complained Wiz’ label projects but honestly, if he makes more accessible records for the masses and still drops quality mixtapes for the “underground,” then don’t we all win?
If you name your song after the main character in my favorite movie of all time…AND you can rap…the chances are quite good that I’ll post it on TAOD. As I mentioned with his previous set of visuals, my only disappointment with Roddy’s mixtape was that I was hoping for an album over original production. He crushed the verses though.
The title of Sandman’s newest video pretty accurately sums up his whole steez. I’ve always been a big fan of his unique flow, which is on display quite nicely here as well. Dopeness.
My guy Otayo linked up with the other homey Bambu for this dope track and video off his Cold Piece Of Work project. Fatgums on the beat. Check out the full album here.
Jay and Yeezy are so big, they can’t even get booked for their own music videos these days. At least the fantastic director, Romain Gavras, took a break from making incredible visuals to wack M.I.A. songs to do a clip for a great record. Dopeness.
That said, his best video is still Justice’s “Stress.” Insane:
Nas’ ode to Destiny, and daughters in general, gets the visual treatment in his newest video. Nice message and positive ending aside…best believe I hope I have a son.
Some new artwork/visuals from Sene’s Brooklyknight album, one of the dopest (and sadly slept on) projects of the year. Get familiar with it here.
I missed this video from my guy M.anifest when it originally dropped back in January, but better late than never. M takes you back to his homeland of Ghana with visuals for “Makaa Maka,” which loosely translates from Twi as “if I said it, I said it” or “I say it without apology.” Say that then.
This is undoubtedly one of the hardest records out right now, which as a fairly mellow, pseudo slow jam, is quite an accomplishment. Big shout to Ab and Schoolboy Q, who came by the Sound Session studio this past weekend. Interview coming soon.
RIP Alori Joh.
