I’ve been putting off running errands and while checking Twitter, I saw Anjulie randomly post up this video. Both the song and the visuals are dope!
My UK obsession for the weekend continues…
I could pretty much listen to anyone rhyme over this beat, but Pusha obviously does it justice. And with all his recent moves, he’s certainly living. I see you Terrance.
Seattle: On Sunday, May 15th, I expect to see you all at the Croc to check out some of the illest (and criminally underrated) artists out there: The CunninLynguists, Tonedeff, and Homeboy Sandman. You should be familiar with all of them by now, especially if you listen to Sound Session since we play them all quite often, but if not, come see them in person and learn something. You’ll also get to see Blue Sky, Black Death, who make some incredible beats, and local music from the Knowmads.
Be there!
A few weeks ago, I randomly thought to myself that it was about time for two of my favorite non-hip-hop artists, Kenna and Miike Snow, to drop some new music. While I’m not aware of any music from the group, Kenna has just released the first of three EP’s in his Land 2 Air Chronicles series, all leading up to his next album, Songs For Flight. Here’s the first video from the project for “Chains,” a song all about discovering what binds us in our every day life and trying to break these restraints.
Kenna was in town last week and stopped by Sound Session, only for the studio in our new production room to screw up the audio of our interview. I do have some video, so I may still post it, even though the sound quality is pretty poor without the mic audio. The conversation was great though, as it always is with Kenna. We discussed the new projects in detail and dived deeper into some philosophical debates over artistry and musical integrity. I’ll try to get it posted soon, but for now, he says hi:
Lykke returns with the newest visuals from her excellently titled Wounded Rhymes album. This girl is on fire with her videos…all doper than the next. Great stuff.
New visuals from Pusha’s Fear Of God mixtape, which you can download here if you’re sleeping. This ish is hard. [Pusha] UGHHHH [/Pusha]
*DEAD* @ what he said about Kix cereal.
I said this would be an incredible album before it dropped…then watched as many people overlooked it on their year end wrap up lists…and now we continue to see dope visuals drop for the Distant Relatives project. I’m convinced that when people look back on it years later, they’ll finally give it the respect it deserves.
Damn, can’t front…this was a tough video to watch. Bambu’s remake of Adele’s incredible “Someone Like You” record takes a strong look at domestic abuse, particularly that emanating from the hip-hop community, and the visuals pull no punches.
As someone who can’t fathom even arguing with a significant other, I don’t understand how anyone can let a situation get to that point. At the same time, I realize that I’ve lived a lucky life and every aspect of the nature/nurture of my upbringing has been fairly privileged. For those who haven’t been as lucky, I hope nothing in your life ever drives you to this type of violence. If it happened in your family, break the cycle.
The Pac Div homies will be in Seattle tomorrow night (Sunday, the 3rd), performing with Killer Mike, Young Dro, and Dee-1 at the Croc. Check ’em out!
