Edo G & G.Valentino Ball w/ DJ Chubby Chub

Our local friends @thatsmajor supply us with some absolute real talk coming to you thanks to DJ Chubby Chub. Just listen in, you'll understand why this whole "last letter from Guru" clearly holds no merit and a talk about how Guru's upbringing didn't promote the type of talk he exhibited in that whole letter. I'm a Dorchester resident and I frequent all the other hoods that Guru ran through all throughout his career and I can tell you, Guru don't play that. Regardless of my opinions, please, I urge you to watch the video.

Hawdwerk & Jansport J x Prophit x COTN Studio Sessions/Show Performance

Via @JansportJ

Waddup everybody!

Figured I'd pass these 2 videos along. The long-time homies/collaborators Prophit and COTN (Children of the Night) have finally made their way out to LA. COTN has been documenting their experiences out here. The first attached video is of a studio session that took place on 4/20 where we welcomed them to The Cov (West Covina) and threw a bunch of dope rappers on a Jansport J beat (Hawdwerk, Prophit, Avi The Most Ill, Poetik Force, COTN).

The 2nd video is footage from our respective tour shows. Hawdwerk and myself are currently on our "Cali Famous" Tour with Trek Life & J. Bizness, as well as Basicali. We invited Prophit and COTN to be apart of our Riverside stop for their "A Tribe Goes West Tour".

B/A - Scared Money (Ft. Yung Nate)

Via @Copastetik. @HansomManson grabs @YungNate for a dope remix of Scared Money for this one. Yung Nate has been one of my favorite artist since his work with Charles Hamilton circa 2008-ish. Nate always brings a completely different style to these songs that no one else has out here. Plus his energy is above most of these guys out here. B/A is on his grind, keeping the flow of joints coming, check this out!

Ben Pramuk, Andy Smalls & Scanz - Take You Higher (4.20 Edition)

@AndySmalls, @Scanz & @BenPramuk have joined forces to create a 3 Track EP dedicated to 4/20. This EP is pretty dope, lyrically Scanz has great conceptual lyricism (as oppose to your average punchline rapper.) and the production is on point, Pramuk & Smalls put in alot of work with this production and it shows with how complete and detailed these beats are.

Juve - Again (prod. by Josh Grooves)

@Juvesreal's Again sounds like a real good track. I'm feeling the sound and what Josh Grooves did with the production. Lyrically Juve is making some strides and hopefully he'll continue to get better because he has a great foundation to build off of, from what I've heard. These are definitely 2 people that need to continue to making music because both Juve and Josh Grooves are some great talents. Check out the track!

Living in the Bahamas isn't easy as an aspiring artist of any kind, much less a rap artist. Currently the internet is my only medium of reaching a wider/international audience. Within the scope of 'online marketing' and more simply in my case, trying to be heard, your site can be of major help. I have a free EP coming out on the 4th of May titled 'The Beginning of Something Better' which I would really like people to listen to. Attached [is] the single 'Again' produced by Portland resident Josh Grooves as well as the cover art & track listing.

Slakah The Beatchild - Enjoy ya Self V2 (Feat. Drake)

@beatchild comes through with a video for Enjoy Ya Self V2, featuring none other than Drake. I would tell you how good this man's album Soul Movement Vol. 1 is but you guys aren't sleeping. You are completely aware of how nice it is, and how it is an actual album. You know like, each track flows perfectly into the next track to make one cohesive project. Not one of those "Let me grab 2-3 tracks here and delete the rest of it", something that's extremely hard to find in music nowadays. Go support and buy his album on itunes, but you probably already have it because you weren't sleeping, right?

Lupe Performs A New Song at Boston's House Of Blues

@DmackMasterice never even told me about this! (I couldn't go to the show, but he did on Wednesday night). But anyways, Lupe does something special for the crowd at one of the favorite venues in the city. Boston has been being treated to some great artist these past few weeks, between K'NAAN, Wale, B.o.B & Lupe. I can personally say K'NAAN & Wale tore it up in Boston so if they're coming to your city, don't sleep, get your tickets and enjoy a dope show. Of course Lupe & B.o.B are straight show stoppers so I know you will already have your tickets for them when the times comes.

Boondocks Season 3

This week we were graced with not only the trailer but 2 hilarious promo videos as well! Here's the trailer above if you haven't already caught it when it was released. Below are 2 videos concerning Tiger Woods.. The 3rd and final season begins Sunday May 2nd at 11:30 PM.

Tiger Woods Commercial

Uncle Ruckus Sounds Off on Tiger Woods...

Choze - The Making of Transmission

Wale - Breakup Song

Seems like @Wale's post Attention Deficit buzz is actually considerably greater than his buzz prior to the album. He's been ripping it with his material. Looks like he's being rewarded for all the "growing" he's been doing. Now I say "growing" half heartedly because Wale has been nasty for years so I'm just not surprised. I'm just glad he's turning it up a notch once again. In my opinion his recent tracks are a cut above some of the tracks on Attention Deficit. Nonetheless, great album & great track, check it out!

Rhymefest feat. John Mayer - Letter

Rhymefest is too damn nice..That is all..

Nemesis - Foundation Of The Mind

So this cat Nemesis just hit me up with one of the most complete displays of lyricism from an up coming artist in a while. This guy is SERIOUS, lyrically he's in a class of his own, unlike most artist I've seen in the blog era peroid. He's much more than what I like to call a straight spitter. He goes in for more that clever punchlines and witty puns, he's got a little bit of adventure to him. His beat selection is great in my opinion (with my favorite being track 2, over Joe Budden's Angel In My Life). Conceptually, I think the project could have gone harder. The next project, I'll really be pushing to see a full theme or story from beginning to end for his next EP because it seems as if Nemesis is more than capable of creating something like that.

OVERALL RATING: 8.4/10

Now some may be wondering.. "why did he give him all this hype and praise than give him an 8.4?" Well concept is still a really important category thats really needed to capture audiences. However Foundation of the Mind wasn't as personal of a project as I'd like it to be, therefore it doesn't naturally draw me into its messages son by song (as oppose to Mos Def, Charles Hamilton or Hawdwerk's works do). Therefore I dropped the rating a little to give Nemesis room for improvement. Overall is a great project however and its not a project to sleep on! Check it out.

J*DaVeY - Outta the Window [Video]

You know how J*Davey does it Jack Davey on the vocals & Brook D'Leau rocking the keys, "summoning the psychedelic indian on a quest for self-discovery in a desert wasteland." How long did it take you to figure out that Jack Davey's real name is actually Briana Cartwright? I think its a huge ploy.. who would ever guess that Brook D'Leau was the male producer of the group and not Cartwright herself? That took me a few weeks to get right. But anyways, enough of the fun facts, Outta The Window is the new video off their Boudoir Synema: The Great Mistapes EP which dropped last Christmas
