Strictly for the grown and sexy…
I still love that Zo! officially spells his name with an exclamation point at the end. The Audacity! of dope.
Murdoc narrates the story of Plastic Beach, the new project from the Gorillaz. Obviously, ill…everything about this band has been since day one.
Not only did Ms. Monae hook up a dope remix to her “Tightrope” record, but she also got the crew together for a quick video. Just for the record, has anyone seen her guitar player, Kellindo, and Andre3000 in the same room at the same time?
Newest visuals from J. Cole and BBGUN, who are consistently killing the one shot style…very fresh.
The homey Laws just dropped the video for his DJ Khalil produced record. “I’m a boss…M. Bison and Ganon in one…”
Peep our interview with Laws right here.
So legendary.
Shout to Josh for putting me up on this dope new music from Tallahassee, Florida. You’ve heard this record on SNSS recently and here’s the video. Peep their site for more info – www.typicalweekend.com
If you’re like me, you’ve been listening to Drake’s Thank Me Later album quite heavily the past few weeks, so you’ll probably also enjoy this interview with Semtex. While they don’t break down every song on the album (I would have been particularly interested to hear the story behind “Karaoke”), there’s a lot of good info in here. I did laugh at the “sounds like your parents played a big role in your life” question though. Generally speaking, that’s pretty much what they tend to do.
You can also check out footage of Drake murdering our Summer Jam last night over on the KUBE site. It was impressive to watch, thinking back to when we played him over 3 years ago on Sound Session. I never would have anticipated his success to be this great, but it’s really ill to have the hottest rapper of the moment actually be dope. Novel concept, I know.
When Miguel blows up, we can all tell our friends we used to listen to him sing harmonies on Blu & Exile records before he got his deal…
Oh, and Seattle people: J. Cole is coming to Bumbershoot this year. As one of the Bumberboard, you’re welcome.
Some of my friends don’t really approve of the liberal use of the Marvin Gaye sample, but I don’t think Theophilus is trying to take it to that level or anything. This is just a mixtape record, albeit a super sexy record, especially when paired with the Vashtie directed video.
Check please.
