Wale ft. Miguel – Lotus Flower Bomb (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on November 19th, 2011 by Hyphen

Wale, Miguel, and Miguel’s hair release the official video for “Lotus Flower Bomb” off Ambition, which is doing real well on the charts so far.  Congrats to Wale, MMG, and the Warner fam.  Wale can rub folks in the industry the wrong way, but he’s been cool to me every time we’ve met and it’s always dope to see talented artists become commercially successful.  Super dope actually.

Seattle folks: I’ll be giving out a pair of tickets to Wale’s upcoming show in Seattle on Sound Session tomorrow night.  Plus, you’ll get to come meet the man himself at KUBE with us earlier in the day.  Listen tomorrow to win!

Shad – Bearings (TEDx video)

Posted in Artists, Random Ish, Videos on November 19th, 2011 by Hyphen

And while we’re on the subject of TED talks, here’s the homey Shad discussing “Bearings” and how he stays focused on the right path.  If your favorite rapper couldn’t get up and do one of these talks about a substantive topic, and do it coherently, you’re listening to the wrong people.

Heavy D, Kool G Rap, Grand Puba, CL Smooth, Big Daddy Kane, Pete Rock, and Q-Tip – Don’t Curse (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos, Throwbacks on November 8th, 2011 by Hyphen

RIP Heavy D! I never met Heav, but from all accounts, he was an incredibly positive and amazing person. He was a classic hip-hop icon that could span all sub-genres of the culture to get love from everyone. Don’t just remember the uptempo pop songs and dance moves…dude could rhyme.

He’ll be missed in this industry and worldwide.

Big shout to my guy Rockwell Powers for putting me up on Peter Baldwin’s music. I’ll try to post more from Peter later, but for now, be sure to peep his website and follow him on Twitter.

Don Trip ft. Cee Lo Green – Letter To My Son (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on November 5th, 2011 by Hyphen

I figured I’d follow J. Cole’s “Lost Ones” with a track that represents another possible outcome to that unfortunate scenario. While Cee Lo’s addition to the record doesn’t seem necessary to me (and there’s a little too much Coolio in “Gangsta’s Paradise” happening for his visuals), I hope it helps the song get the notoriety it deserves.

Artists take note: this is the kind of emotion you should put in your music. And you also shouldn’t have kids until the situation is right. But you already knew both of those things…right?

Hell Razah ft. R.A. The Rugged Man – Return of the Renaissance (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on November 5th, 2011 by Hyphen

Had no idea Hell Razah had such severe health issues recently, but I’m glad to see that he’s on the mend.  We played this record on SNSS a while back and I was always impressed with the beat and how hard R.A. killed it.
