Shout to G for sending this through and explaining that it’s footage from a Valentine’s Day (the best day…#birthdayswag) event in Vancouver. Although he did include the phrase “Out Of Love, Pt. 3” in the email…hmmm….could we see a continuation of the series?
Part 1 (2005):
Part 2 (2007):
Good friend of Sound Session, Lace Cadence, returns with his 2nd video from the mixtape J. Moore & I hosted a few months back, Launchpad (download here). Strictly for the grown and sexy. Shouts to Atuanya for his directorial debut!
While the video is a fairly quick viral joint, and the song itself isn’t as long as I wish it was, I love the vibe of this record. Dope beat and heartfelt lyrics about Bam’s homeland that can be found on his mixtape with DJ Muggs, Los Angeles, Philippines.
As I’ve mentioned numerous times, I’m a sucker for flashing lights. It’s a good thing I’m not prone to epileptic seizures, since this video is clearly going to cause a few of those. This is an epic anthem and ‘Ye’s partnership with the NBA for All-Star Weekend is working flawlessly.
Best artist alive.
Inspired by Slum Village’s “Climax,” of course. Dilla told you later with “Won’t Do” as well. Shout to all the homies in this one!
Jhene is apparently half black, but either way, this hook reminds me of the always hilarious moments in my life where I’ve been called the n-word. Nothing will ever top this one Hispanic chick in college…but I’ll have to tell you that story offline.
Anyway, yet another dope record from the Top Dawg camp. These guys are killin’ it. Shout to Jerome D on direction as well.
Mitch: Ok so I don’t want to get ahead of myself here, but after a couple listens I think it’s safe to say that unless we get a new Outkast album this year The W.I.N.E. (Word Is Not Enough) by Stevie Crooks is already in strong contention for project of the year (IMO)… Yes that may sound a little premature, but if you’re familiar with who I am speaking of then it may not sound that far-fetched. He’s been on a hiatus of sorts since he dropped his last project Diamonds & Guns a year ago yesterday, and during that time he’s been hard at work putting together this work of art for us. I feel like I should be sitting in an Aston Martin sipping some fine wines listening to this, not driving though, of course.

Cole and Drizzy could have made a larger production for the “In The Morning” video, but these visuals shot during their European string of concerts works nicely. The best way to start your day!
Mitch: The homie Logics just dropped his latest project titled #Problematic. I heard  couple tracks a few months ago and have been waiting for this ever since. L’s recruited a slew of Seattle artists for the EP, including the Blue Scholars’ own Geo as well as Brainstorm of Dyme Def, J.Pinder and Eighty4 Fly. Download link & tracklist after the jump.

Incredible new visuals from Nabil Elderkin and the Distant Relatives. “Patience” is found on one of two albums Lupe mentioned as his favorites of 2010 in our interview, and I must agree. I remember hyping this album up and then being surprised when people didn’t generally rank it as high as I did. It’s going to go down as one of the more underrated projects of the last decade.
Sidenote: how salty does Kanye have to be after seeing this? Nabil is virtually his in-house director and he was sitting on this gem that would have been perfect for My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy aesthetics…
