If you were lucky enough to hear Sound Session last night, you heard us debut a brand new record from the Physics called “My Place.” That song is part of a special 3 song package that they released to the net today, which you can download right here. “My Place” might be my favorite song out right now…from ANYWHERE…not just from Seattle. Grab that ASAP.
Ok, one more quick post before I hit the station. Peep the visuals for Freddie Gibbs’ new video, “The Ghetto.” Every single person I’ve played this record for, absolutely loves it. And yes, it was made in 2010, not 1995.
Gotta run to the station for this week’s Sound Session, but I realized that I never posted up the homey Sean’s new video for “Wonderful Life” with Playboy Tre and Scar. Shout to Tre as well, who was in town on Friday for the B.o.B/Lupe tour. Good times…
Some hilarious footage of the video shoot for Wiz & Grynch’s upcoming video. Shout to all the homies involved. Someone get me a moving .gif of Wiz’ dancing from 3:14 to 3:20, stat.
While the song is real dope (crazy beat from Marco especially), I must say…my dude Todd Angkasuwan killed it with this video. Marco’s slap is classic. Every time someone complains about artists like Drake and whatnot, I like to remind them that there’s plenty of that traditional boom-bap craziness to beat you over the head with. Duck Down has been holding it down on that front for 15 years. Respect.
Talib, Hi-Tek, and Estelle make an old school inspired video for their new single off Revolutions Per Minute, which drops on the 18th. I just got word that the homies U-N-I will be joining Reflection Eternal on the RPM Tour. See my Seattle folk at the Showbox Market on the 29th…
Dope visuals put together for an in-studio live performance of Donwill’s “Love Junkie (Wallpaper Remix).” Doesn’t it just make you want to move? Shout to Yours Truly.
As I mentioned during this week’s SNSS recap, there’s no MC in the game today that makes me wear out the rewind button like Shad. His music represents pretty much everything I look for as a listener: skills, quality production, intelligence, and above all, truthful and genuine expression through this art form. His last record, The Old Prince Still Lives At Home, is a classic album and his new project, TSOL, drops on May 25th (at least in his native Canada…and I assume online at the least for us Americans).
I’ve been lucky enough to vibe with TSOL for a minute and it’s another flawless release from Shad. Now you can listen to it in its entirety thanks to Spinner, complete with a track by track breakdown from the man himself. What are you waiting for??? LISTEN HERE!
Oh, and if anyone out there isn’t convinced, I don’t know a soul who wasn’t an instant fan after seeing this:
We played the hell outta this record on SNSS when it first dropped and I’m glad to see some visuals finally come out. I love that the biggest rapper in the game these days came from doing verses on joints like this. You have to respect/enjoy that.
One of my favorite verses ever…and a true story of R.A.’s dad. Off a Jedi Mind Tricks song from a few years back, but R.A. decided to to do some visuals for his new Legendary Classics, Vol. 1 project.
