At this year's Daymon Day people painted a mural that honored deceased local icons and members of the community Daymon Dodson , DJ Przm , "E" , Camu Tao , Todd Minton and Andyman on the back of a handball court at Tuttle Park in Columbus, Ohio. Check the mural out after the jump. [...]
Click here to view the embedded video. Masta Ace- Slaughtahouse Last Friday, Odd Future Records "signed" a new artist Young N*gga . It seems like it might be Tyler, the Creator having fun. Listen for yourself. . It reminded me of Masta Ace's song Slaughterhouse(video posted above) which is probably the reason the Westside Connection started. I don't think Tyler detests rappers like Young N*gga quite like Masta Ace [...]

MP3:Cool Ray Slick "Camu's Back" Pac Back . Pun Back . Biggie Back . Eazy-E Back . Big L Back . Freaky Tah Back . Stack Bundles Back . So it's only right that Camu's friend Cool Ray Slick aka Aqward proclaims Tero Smith to be back.
While we have brought you some awesome Podcasts already, this one might be my favorite. When I say Danny Brown is one of my favorite emcees on the rise, I think I speak for just about every Potholer out there. With that being said, you would have expected to hear some great hip-hop on this mix, right? Think again! Instead of slinging some expected raps our way, he went the indie route and dropped a rather eclectic blend of new and old. With artists like Darwin Deez, Prince, Radiohead and Camu Tao, you get the complete opposite side of [...]

Pete is my friend, so I've heard the new album. It bangs [...]
The rapper with comedic timing is a lost art. I'm noticing a serious lacking in humor from the rap community. Oddly enough, it's Detroit that always seems to come through with the most creative-minded punchline rappers. Danny Brown joins a highly-decorated list of Detroit MCs with a sick sense of funny. Danny Brown stole the show on "Black & Brown" off Black Milk's Album Of The Year - which wasn't too difficult considering Milk dropped the cliched "save the game like a memory card" line. Bas...
Camu Tao was a rapper and producer and part of the standout rap group Weathermen. His other projects included being a member of Central Services production team with El-P along with the MHz crew (Copywrite, RJD2, Jakki Tha MotaMouth and Tage Proto). Tao sadly died on May 25, 2008, after a two-year battle with lung cancer, he was working on his first solo album for Definitive Jux at the time. King of Hearts is Tao's posthumous release, a long-awaited album, made up of demos and home recordings from this late underground rap fixture. It is [...]
Danny Brown's flow is always at 11, with his voice staying at a constant yell, mastering the aggression that Kanye could never quite balance. While Kanye's flow and lyrical content never really caught up with his beats (post-Late Registration), Danny Brown is quite the opposite. The beats are still great, but so are his tremendously [...]
King of Hearts is the unfinished album left behind by deceased Def Jux artist, Camu Tao. It's sprawling and messy-it toys with about a half-dozen genres and songs range from fragments to polished gems. It's often half-baked, it's often great, it's everything but boring. I wrestle with it over at Pop & Hiss , with more coherence than my crashing brain can currently muster at the moment. While it's not the hoped-for posthumous masterpiece, it has enough flashes of genius to prove that Camu was onto something. I'm not sure what exactly that something was and [...]
Camu Tao's solo debut is so passionate and brilliant, listening to the entire record creates a bittersweet feeling after consumption. King Of Hearts is everything I look for in a record; it has feeling, it's extremely well crafted, and the songs are great. One can't help but get sad when listening, because Camu's tragic death [...]
Welp. I'd link to think anyone who claims to like music is aware of this. But we all have our own lives to lead. HOWEVER, All Eyes in the underground hip hop galaxy focus on our city as we being the home of some of the greatest talent ever celebrate the release of Camu Tao's King of Hearts album on Def Jux/Fat Possum Records. El-P is flying in to present our city the album, and enjoy the city that Camu loved. ooohh so a national release in Columbus...say word.. but wait..lets not get too cool. [...]
Eduardo Jones writes for Beatdom , a Beatnik Literary Journal. Besides his claim to HST's ether, Mr. Jones was also good friends with Camu Tao. So in stride with Camu's Columbus release party tonight at Skullys,I solicited memories from Eduardo and a few other of Camu's friends. I have an interview with El-P that I'm gonna put up later this week. I already said my peace in the Other Paper, 400 Lb Ear Lifts and Leak Smoke…….. By Eduardo Jones Mr. [...]
If you've been following us here at MFPP, you should know by now that Def Jux and Fat Possum are putting out an album from the deceased Camu Tao titled King of Hearts on August 17th. We previously reported that the pre-order is up and you can grab a free copy of Central Service's ( Camu Tao + El-P) Forever Frozen In Television Time EP, BUT NOW you can also take a listen to the album opener to King of Hearts titled "Be a Big Girl" [...]
The late and criminally under-appreciated Camu Tao will have his debut album King of Hearts released via Def Jux / Fat Possum on August 14th. Tero Smith's death had a huge effect on the Def Jux family. Watching Aesop Rock perform the day after Smith's passing, it became obvious that El-P's gang of outlaw hip-hop stars were never going to be the same after his death. That being said, it's great news that King of Hearts will finally see the light of day, hopefully garnering the respect that [...]
