EPIC?



As usual I'm very sceptical about my fav MC's/Rappers from back in the day dropping new ish... but I'm confident this will be above "Untitled" & "Hip Hop is dead"

Well, we'll see. Stay tooned ;)

Baatin †




BRic Bohy

August 3, 2009 at 12:13pm

With a new album is set to drop next month, fans were looking forward to the return of “a very spiritual brother” to Detroit’s seminal progressive rap group Slum Village after the seven-year absence of co-founder Titus “Baatin” Glover.

But the discovery of Glover’s body in Detroit Saturday morning turned any celebration of his music into a memorial. Both police and the Wayne County Medical Examiner’s office have said there was no evidence of trauma, but the cause of death won’t be fixed until toxicology tests are concluded in several weeks, according to the Detroit Free Press.

A chaddamn shame!

Today, for the first time in ages, I had faith in the RADIO again.

-I was at a friends house getting ready for a bbq when the stay-in-auntie cranked the radio. I instantly went into "In one ear - out the other" -mode until the o-so familiar first beats of Talibs & Tek's "The BLAST" came to my attention  live & direct. I rushed to the source & started brushing my teeth to the beat & reciting Talib into my toothbrush-a-phone. Verse one. Stay-in-auntie enters the room, shakes her head at my enthusiasm, ruffles her nose at Talib & proptly switches to a different station where Gucci Man is "educating" & leaves me & my toothbrush in mid harlem shake....

Whenever I find a new favorite braincandy,
be it a re-discovered Classics or the newest headbanger,
I simply MUST obey my addiction to push repeat. 
Tracks are too short for me, 
the first two times of playing a song just get me in the mood & then by round three I can really start savoring the song. 
Now this track does the work for me - not saying I wouln't wear out the repeat button on this either, 
but the concept & legth of the video plus the intro are in my opinion ingenious!

Blue Raspberry
Jamsession

Blue Ras sangs it to you straight from Jersey & right down your spine!
This vocalist & songwriter has contributed to so many platinum albums it makes no damn sense that she is still kept in the dark!
Wu Tang scooped her up from a Casino in 94 & promptly put her talent to work on Meth's platinum album Tical.
Following that she did collabos with Reakwon, Gravediggaz, Cappadonna, Meth&Redman, Apathy & Cilvaringz

Othello & Freddie Joachim
'Wake up"


Othello contributed the Rap, Joachim the beat.

The other day I bumped into a friend of mine on the train &
he introduced me to Joachim's music. 
While hording music by him I came across this & now I am also investigating Othello, 
which is turning out to be a very innovative MC. Very prone to make it into my personal FavMCTopList! 
Get with it ;)
