This year's Rock The Bells music festival marks its 10th anniversary with a jam-packed lineup, including "virtual performances" by two deceased artists, Ol' Dirty Bastard from the Wu Tang Clan and Eazy-E, who will be performing with the ongoing reunion of Bone Thugs N Harmony. The MC Supernatural actually freestyled the all-star line-up earlier this evening.

A smaller Fresh Friday, but these are worth the mention and hold it on their own. Make sure to grab these tunes and enjoy. I will!]]> text/html 2013-04-09T17:38:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4881417/club-dom-kennedy-my-type-of-party-brenmar/

Dom Kennedy's minor-hit "My Type Of Party" is one of the more interesting "party" tracks of the past few years in that it's really not meant to be a party track in the truest sense. He's getting head on the sofa and ignoring the "niggas sniffing that coca", truly Dom's sort of party. Seeing the potential in Dom's original, New York by-way-of Chicago club maestro Brenmar took "My Type Of Party" up to 130 BPM and essentially turned it into a more conventional party anthem. This is probably not Dom's type of party anymore, but it certainly works for us!

Casey Veggies - Life Changes Self-released: 2013 On Casey Veggies ' solid 2011 debut full-length Sleeping in Class , the young rapper from Los Angeles was still an identity in the works. The album positioned him as somewhat of a thoughtful goofball with a tiny bit of street cred and the occasional introspective epiphany. Not quite backpack rap but certainly not hood either. At just 17, Veggies landed somewhere between Big K.R.I.T. and a less nutty OFWKTA (whom he was once a member of).The first-person account of his young and small world on [...]]]> text/html 2013-01-24T00:16:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4738022/hip-hop-casey-veggies-life-changes-mixtape/
Young Inglewood native, Casey Veggies, has been on the hip-hop radar dating back to his features on the early Odd Future mixtapes. Although he has since parted ways with the OF clan, Veggies has certainly shown an ability to hold his own continuing to find cosigns among top-tier emcees. Life Changes , his latest mixtape, may be his breakout project with features and production from the likes of The Futuristiks, DJ Dahi, Dom Kennedy, 1500 or Nothin' and Harry Fraud. Through out the piece of work we see the 19 year-old spitter emerge with the confidence that [...]]]> text/html 2013-01-23T08:23:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4736258/casey-veggies-life-changes-album/
Having been caught Sleeping in Class back in 2011, Los Angeles emcee Casey Veggies has decided to make some serious Life Changes on a brand new, 13-track free album. The project features Booth-approved, lead single "F**k Witchu," and guests spots from BJ The Chicago Kid, Phil Beaudreau and Dom Kennedy. Speaking about the new album, Veggies shared the following on his Tumblr: "It took me a long time to grow into this. I feel like this whole time I was searching for something and now I finally found it. Life really does change.

And just like that, another year is in the books. I think we're all happy the world didn't end on the 21st, if for no other reason than that this list gets to be presented to the public. AlbatRoss and I have worked on compiling the perfect wrap-up list for 2012 in hip-hop and we'll be breaking it down in 4 stages of 20. We had 2 guidelines we stuck to in compiling this list: 1) it had to be rap (meaning no R&B - Frank Ocean and Miguel had killer years but they won't be found on this list) [...]]]> text/html 2012-12-20T20:20:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4683435/paid-dues-2013-lineup-revealed/

Over the weekend, Scoremore brought Dom Kennedy to Dallas for a sold out show at Trees. Being the final date on the Yellow Album Tour , he surely saved the best for last.He started off the night with some of his biggest hits such as "Girls On Stage" and "My Type of Party" from this year's Yellow Album . The crowd followed Dom in voice as he coasted through his set. The highlight of the night came when he invited a female fan on stage to accompany him [...]]]> text/html 2012-11-29T13:20:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4645022/new-heater-from-the-stones-throw-crew-strong-arm-steady/

Literally out of damn nowhere, Oh No decided to release a remixed version of Strong Arm Steady 's album Stereotype - which he cleverly titled Stereo Jr . This track, "No Sky Limit" can be found on said album.

"Ain't into the floss, rather be a boss." There's definitely something to be said about staying quiet and letting your actions do the talking. Taking a page from that book, we have this Oh No remix of Strong Arm Steady's "No Sky Limit" featuring Dom Kennedy. The original record was produced by Statik Selektah and appeared on Stereotype, the collaborative LP between SAS and Statik. Oh No took seven of those joints, remixed them, and released them today via Stones Throw as Stereo Jr . Peep the single below, and the full EP right [...]]]> text/html 2012-11-26T16:22:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4638468/strong-arm-steady-no-sky-limit-f-dom-kennedy/
Here is something a little different from Oh No today, as he takes a different approach to his instrumentation on a remix for California's Strong Arm Steady. While the lyrical content from Strong Arm Steady and the featured Dom Kennedy is certainly something Oh No is used to, his bouncing synthesizers are a nice change of pace from the renown producer. This particular remix comes by way of an exciting little remix project Oh No has under way, which will feature him chopping up Strong Arm Steady's 2011 effort with Statik Selektah, Stereotype [...]]]> text/html 2012-11-26T07:39:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4637679/strong-arm-steady-x-oh-no-no-sky-limit/
New Oh No Remix of Strong Arm Steady's "No Sky Limit" featuring Dom Kennedy, taken from the Stereotype album. Oh No has remixed Strong Arm Steady's album Stereotype, and we kept it a secret until the day when the beat making, mixing and mastering were all complete and ready for release. That's today. This is available for now exclusively at Stones Throw and via Stones Throw's digital subscription service - Stones Throw Digital Discography .

Screw Black and the Friday it rode in on shop local: Best way to work off whatever you gorged on Thanksgiving Day might be to hit up Afrojack tonight at the Palladium. The DJ/producer born Nick van de Wall brings his "Jacked" tour to L.A. along with cohorts R3hab, Shermanology and Quintino. That's Afrojack's "Rock the House" video, above.
