Irrelevant as this opening paragraph may be, I really hope to hear more from Just Blaze this year. He had a couple of good production jobs last year, notably for me on Jay Electronica's"Exhibit C" and on Maino's "All The Above." He recently moved studios and has already been tipped to be producing a song on Snoop Dogg's re-released album (and the track will feature Kid Cudi). What got me onto this? A song off The Blueprint came up on shuffle ( U Don't Know ) and I thought it was great. Anyway, moving on. First new track [...]
**BEASTON PREMIERE** For the past 7+ months , I've been a big ol' beastly-fan of the remix work as being pumped out by LA-boys, Electrolightz . So with a new mixtape available today, and for free no less, we can only continue on in singing the praises of Eroc, Name Brand, Rami Dearest, Barry Romance and Bo Bridges. [...]
February 8, 2010 is the day that Massive Attack releases their fifth studio album. Its been seven (wow that long) years since their last effort 100th Window. Somehow I wasn't really impress with 100th Window besides Special Cases which featured Sinead O'Connor. Massive Attack has been the pioneer in Trip-hop. From their mellow R&B/trip-hop sounds from Blue Lines and Protection to the dark electronica sound of Mezzanine. They have been changing and becoming innovative with their sound. Contrary to some reports that this album was going backwards ala Mezzanine era. A part of [...]
Here's my latest monthly mixtape! This one was made EXCLUSIVELY for URB.COM (that's why it's gettin to y'all a little late). It's full of all of my favorite tracks at the moment.

Our buddies and blogger peers over at BIG STEREO have finally let loose their first release on their just launched label. The band is BABY MONSTER. I couldn't think of a better debut for BIG STEREO than these guys. In a lot of ways they are the quintessential BIG STEREO band. Dreamy vocals and melodies, dancy, great pop hooks. BABY MONSTER are the personification of all the great music BIG STEREO have delivered to the masses these last 5 years. Can't wait to hear more! Grab a free track below and if you like [...]

Probably in the running for one of the worst band names ever is Penguin Prison from NYC . It's so bad I almost didn't wanna post it, but his music is so good it trumps the name. It's like the conversations I have with artist friends of mine about band names. They don't really mean that much. If your music is good enough people will find you. Which is exactly the case with Penguin Prison great electronic dancey stuff and a great ear for a catchy pop hook! Here [...]

Stranger I love a good mystery: Colombo, Christie, Doyle, Fletcher… And that goes TRIPLE in regards to bands. Don't let me know your names, and for the life of it I don't want to see your acne-recovering mugs either! An enigmatic symbol will do, thank you very much. Alas, how your mystery entices me, how your elusiveness inflames me! I'd like to envision with my mental image of Nietzsche's Superman, if that's cool. But hang it! You might not even be a human for all I know, but an extra-terrestrial being [...]
