I'm back in the room after a week or so off, and the lack of posts can be made up for in one hit thanks to another blinding podcast courtesy of The Nextmen. Brad and Dom Nextmen are going from strength to strenghth with this podcast thing, I tells ya. Their fifth 'cast has well and truly been lighting up my iPod and £7 headphones (nothing but the best for me) over the last week, and is easily the best in the series so far. Their's quality a-plenty on offer: expect [...]
A year ago this month, Closed Sessions opened a studio in a mansion in Austin, Texas. For four days straight they held 24-hour sessions with different artists from all over the nation with all sub-genres of hip-hop to collab, chill, and share stories. In those four days they recorded 10 songs and documented every moment. On the 15th of March they will be releasing a full album called Closed Sessions: ATX and a documentary of everything that went down featuring all the artists that took part. They released their first official single "Theme Music" with Fashawn, [...]
Where do I start? Snoop Dogg's album will most likely be wack in comparison to previous albums and Lupe Fiasco's Lasers is already being trashed by critics because of the conformed pop songs that are sprinkled throughout it. Yet, both of them released bangers in February and found their way onto the list. Then somehow A.G. and 50 Cent came through with some heat ("Old 2003 Ferrari" might be the best 50 song in years). Oddly enough, two of the hottest songs to drop are freestyles in the sense [...]

.zip: Fashawn- Higher Learning Vol. 2 (article link)
Periodically you'll see a Closed Sessions post pop up around these parts and be privy to the whatever dopeness escapes from the SoundScape recording studio. "Theme Music" is more of the same, yet different because it's the first single off of the upcoming Closed Sessions ATX LP set to release 3.15.11. The entire album was recorded last year in Austin with SXSW serving as it's backdrop. Holed up in a mansion for four days and recording around the clock, an eclectic mix of emcee's and producers came through to lay down tracks. [...]

New music from Fashawn's Higher Learning Vol. 2 mixtape.
The world of hip-hop has blown up at the moment. From the odd ball Tyler the Creator to the slightly more conventionally underground Emay, the combination of beats and rhymes has never been more exciting. It was predictable however that the release of Fashawn's new mixtape 'higher learning 2' would be swamped by Odd World and their recent TV appearance. What it doesn't mean however is the mixtape isn't worth listening to, because it really fucking is. Full of smart rhymes and inspired beats it could be the best free listen you've had in a while. Check it out [...]
Fashawn — Nothin' For The Radio (feat. J. Cole) Hip hop? On Boy Attractions? It's more likely than you think. "Nothin' For The Radio" is a glorious cut from Fashawn 's Higher Learning 2 mixtape, which he's giving away for free . Many thanks to Cokemachineglow for the tip. [ mp3 ]
With all of this Odd Future buzz going around, the hip hop world seems pretty noisy right now, but I don't want this to go unnoticed: Fresno rapper Fashawn has just dropped his latest mixtape, Higher Learning 2 . It's an army of new flows featuring beats that sample everything from Queen to Kanye. Fashawn is sounding as confident as ever, and it's got me even more excited for his forthcoming album, the Ecology , which is yet to see a release date attached to it. [...]
Fashawn put out a new mixtape, Higher Learning Vol 2 , yesterday and it's fire. The production throughout the tape is smooth, the melodies are nice, and the rapping is incredible. Fashawn is a beast of a rapper, and featuring J. Cole on both production and verses on numerous songs on the tape gives him about a million brownie points. This is probably my favorite song from the tape because the rhyming is incredible, but there are so many hot songs on this compilation, it took me forever to pick one. I highly [...]
