I promise I am buying this album tomorrow. Say G&E has been in stores for almost a week now, and I can't believe I still don't have it. Check a couple other tracks . PigeonsandPlanes
Then: I remember DJ Ack having me check out the B-side of a new single by some white freestyle kid from Detroit that was a new Dre project. I had barely heard of him, the single "My Name Is", but flip that record over… Pink : Eminem - I just don't give a fuck (don lowed) Now: American Music Awards, Movies, Billboard Awards, Sex with Mariah Carey, Grammy Awards, Teen Choice, MTV… all that mess!!! Never would have seen all that coming back in the day. After a long hiatus the [...]
"Hang You From The Heavens" and this cover of Gary Numan's "Are Friends Electric" are brand new tracks from The Dead Weather , Jack White's newest band (depending on when you read this). Even though he plays drums for the group, the distinctive Jack White sound is just as prevalent as ever. The Kill's Alison Mosshart handles lead vocals with White's fellow Raconteur bass player Jack Lawrence and Queens of the Stone Age guitarist Dean Fertita. The upcoming LP, Horehound , is produced by White and [...]

Download the entire remix album in a .zip (71 MBs) Tracklist: [...]

The most user friendly album album Def Jux ever put out? I'll say. Singalongability? Check. Rhyme-that'd-impress-yer-gra n? Check. Beats plundered from far and wide? Check. Top notch guests? Most def a check. 'Droppin' Science Fiction' is the debut album from Blackalicious's Gift of Gab, Quannum head Lateef and Crown City Rockers member, producer Headnodic – collectively known as The Mighty Underdogs. Despite eclectic sample origins the album hangs together sonically like a neck and noose. 'Ill Vacation' and 'Science Fiction', the most unlikely of bedfellows, sit cheek by jowl the latter being a Brazilian holiday breezer and [...]

"N.A.S.A is an ongoing creative collaboration between two lifelong music aficionados, Squeak E. Clean ad DJ Zegon, and their friends, friends of friends and musical heroes. While N.A.S.A. stands for North America/South America and contains a number of superstar artists from both coasts of the US, it is about as far from a tension-building geographical showdown as a record can get. Rather, their Anti debut The Spirit of Apollo was born with the righteous goal of bringing people together through music and art, and that is exactly what masterminds Sam Spiegel (Squeak E. Clean) and Ze Gonzales (DJ Zegon) have [...]
Recall emcee/producer hip hop duo juggernauts like Eric B. & Rakim, Pete Rock and CL Smooth, and DJ Premier and Guru. These classic collaborations created not only unparralleled hip hop classics but achieved a level of quality, coolness and cohesiveness that has almost disappeared from Hip Hop. Now the stars have aligned to allow another super collaboration between emcee and producer- behold as we present to you MOE POPE and HEADNODIC as MEGAPHONE... a welcome return to the producer + emcee combinatins brings back two former members of the group Mission:, the same Boston/ Bay Area group that had at [...]
Oakland/San Fran Bay Area- Fisherman's Wharf, Ocean Beach, North Beach, Chinatown, Alcatraz Ishland, The de Young Art Museum, The Oakland Swap Meet, Haight & Ashbury Street, Cal Berkley and The Golden Gate Bridge. Record highs 65-70+ everyday, not a cloud in the sky. Green Bay, WI Lambeau Field, a record amount of snowfall in December, a bitter cold January. So fridge, that last Thursday and Friday school got canceled. Due to the fact that temps with the wind chill dropped so low that School District Officials deemed it un safe. That's COLD! The [...]
This might be as close as a Quannum artist will get to Cedar Rapids... While touring Brazil, Chief Xcel of the formidable Blackalicious fell in love with the locally released Achados e Perdidos and quickly signed Luciano Nakata Albuquerque who performs under the moniker Curumin (KOO-roo-mean). Achados e Perididos with its pan-continental mix of salsa and funk was re-released on Quannum in September 2005 to critical praise- quite an achievement for an artist who sings primarily in Portuguese! In October, 2008 Curumin released the much-anticipated follow up [...]
OH BOY! this joint is just so wild. west philly's sean falyon wrecks this track, and in a great way. i don't know too much about him, besides the fact that he's neck and neck with mia-o's ricky ross in terms of the beard game, but he sent it to me via Twitter about three weeks ago, and i realized it was something special that i needed to spread to the masses. one of the sickest beats i've heard this year. crucial samples used. in fact, i'll give $20 to whoever [...]
I'm not sure if I've been under a rock on this one, but I've never heard of N.A.S.A. (the DJ duo, not the space agency). Luckily for them, they were obviously on the radars of more important people - their debut album, The Spirit of Apollo , features a veritable who's who of indie-rock, rap and DJ legends, including David Byrne , Tom Waits , M.I.A. , Kanye West , the Yeah Yeah Yeahs , Scarface , the Wu-Tang Clan , Chuck D and [...]

Solesides and Def Jux have finally released new information about the long awaited The Mighty Underdogs album Droppin' Science Fiction . The hip hop group, composed of underground heavyweights the Gift of Gab , Lateef the Truthspeaker , and Headnodic , will drop their debut full-length on October 14. We also now know all of the special guests on the album. Based on the fact that the Underdogs' EP The Prelude featured collaborators on just about every track, we shouldn't be surprised by the list. [...]
Ok, I'll admit that I'm extremely biased here. I could blog about this collaborative, super-group, album without ever hearing a single track and I'd still have nothing but love and compliments for it. The Mighty Underdogs are already hip hop royalty. Lateef and Gift of Gab have been on my top emcee list for over a decade (since the Solesides days) and I've been turned on to [...]
