Some visuals for one of the dope freestyles off Kimbo Price. Every time we use this beat on Sound Session, people ask what it is. Have you forgotten this classic from Pace Won?
D.A. and Max join Diddy, Jadakiss, and Clinton Sparks as they take Vegas by storm in the new video for “Ciroc Star.” If you never grabbed the Chester French mixtape, get your Jacque Jams right here and work on your endurance.
Smoke DZA recruits fellow Marley Smokers Devin The Dude, Curren$y, Asher Roth & hookman June Summers for his Smokers anthem “Marley & Me†produced by Scoop Deville. Directed by Creative Control. – OnSMASH
For my first official post with some actual material I bring you the official video for the remix to Smoke DZAs single off his Substance Abuse mixtape, Marley & Me featuring a few friends.
Editor’s note: If you’re gonna get lifted, be responsible folks. That was your PSA of the day. – Non-smoker Hyph
Yes, I’m late posting this video. No, I don’t care.
Recently, I’ve been playing this Miike Snow album non-stop and it’s really impressive. I seem to be on a “white guy singing, possibly with a foreign accent or falsetto of sorts, about semi depressing, ethereal topics” kick. *Kanye shrug*…sue me. I’m sure I’ll get back into my backpack hip-hop mindset soon, but for now, enjoy some different ish.
Shout to my man Soul Supreme at Potholes In My Blog for giving me the heads up on the Mark Ronson “Animal” remix. We rocked this on Sound Session a few times and I’m a sucker for anything dub related.
Miike Snow – “Animal (Mark Ronson Remix)”
Are you there Jah? It’s me Ras Trent.
If you’ve been listening to Sound Session lately, you’ve heard us bumping this song on the regular. Crazy record with a dope beat (same sample that Capone used for another record we played on SNSS a few years back) and CurT@!n$ killed it. I love the Self Scientific reference too, since most of y’all still aren’t up on them after all these years. Va$htie did a great job on the direction too…dope ish.
I hope you caught Aziz’ Intimate Moments For A Sensual Evening special on Comedy Central from last week, but if not, here’s one of the highlights courtesy of NahRight. Everything Kanye does is hilarious – I’ve been saying this since the first time Tunji and I met dude in LA in ’02.
Dope new visuals from the homey Wiz. Shout to Jon Augustavo on the directorial tip too…those shots of the city are crazy. 206…suckas.
More Northwest talent, this time from Canary Sing, a Seattle group featuring the homey (and fellow Bumbershoot advisory board member) Hollis, aka Wong Weezy. I’m loving the sample – shout to Thirstin Howl III – and Wes Goodlife did a nice job on the direction. Dope ish.
Dope new visuals for Big Sean’s “Million Dollars.” Shout to Mike Brinkley for sending this through.
I’m curious to see if Sean breaks through in 2010 (assuming his official debut does indeed drop). I think he certainly has potential and I’d never bet against G.O.O.D. Music, but I wonder if he’ll be able to make the jump. I would love to see a MC like Sean get major radio and video love, and all it’s going to take is the right record.
(shout to OnSmash with the premiere)
I love that I can follow up a post on design reform geared towards the triple bottom line with a hip-hop video/song that’s hard as f**k. Such is, TAOD.
Anyway, I think Till The Casket Drops had a few sub-par moments (only for the Clipse’s high standards), but the highlights are 3 of the best tracks of the past year: “Kinda Like A Big Deal,” “Popular Demand,” and now “Freedom.” Malice’s verse is nice, but Pusha slaughtered it. He owns you all.
Be sure to check out our last interview with the Clipse as well, right here.
