Brand new video from Tacoma’s Todd Sykes & EvergreenOne (directed by Erik Soderquist), providing yet another example of the dope talent we have up here in the Pacific Northwest. I really dig the music I’ve heard from these guys so far. Fun loving, boom-bap inspired hip-hop from the heart. You can’t go wrong.
This is my jam right now. That is all.
“Close The Door” live from 1979. He will be missed.
The homies are killin’ it!
Fellow 5-C alum, Greg The Dude, linked up with Outasight for the “Catch Me If You Can” video off his Further project (download here!). Peep the trailer for a glimpse at the upcoming release, on that Bourne Identity type steez…
One of my favorite songs off Sean P’s Kimbo Slice tape gets the video treatment as part of Court Dunn & NahRight’s One Shot series. Nice little concept and they executed it’s well. The verses are complete fire too. All 3 mc’s kill it, but Sean really bodies the track. Calling out “white women who listen to Lyfe Jennings” was the clincher.
I must say, the video effects are slightly off-putting, but with a song as good as this, I don’t mind. Off the excellent Machine Dreams and also one of the tracks that made our Sound Session Best of 2009 edition. Yukimi is the truth.
I need to find some time to get our interview with Little Dragon posted up…I swear it’s coming soon. I hope.
I’ll be honest, I’m swamped with work these days so I haven’t watched this entire bio, but I still felt the need to toss it up here on TAOD. Y’all should be up on Ali Vegas, but if not, peep the video to see what he’s all about. I still remember the first time I heard “The Specialist” on the In Too Deep Soundtrack in ’99 and being blown away. I’m not sure if he’ll ever realize his full potential and reach the lofty goals we all seemed to set for him (“y’all critics got a lot of nerve, I’m [Nas] to the third”), but one thing’s for sure: dude can rhyme.
The homies Krispy and Al have been hinting about this little release for quite some time and they finally dropped it via Twitter the other day. As I was waiting for some artwork to show up, Shake @ 2DopeBoyz cooked up the cover above, so it’s time to rock. There are only 5 joints, but they’re all dope. The title track is probably the highlight, but don’t sleep on “Fruits” and “Floozy” either. More dope ish from the Knux!

People who know me in real life have probably heard me wax poetic about my recent trip to San Diego and how I’ve been inspired to put some more care into my crib. It’s always been nice, but I think it’s time I really take it to the next level. Next up is a new HD TV…perhaps even copping later today.
After all, as Muhsinah reminds us, “home is where the heart is.”
Definitely more of a viral video than anything that official, but the song is ill so I’m glad they shot some quick visuals for it. Despite Gucci’s best efforts, I really dig this record. #in2010 we better get Big Boi’s album released…
