Kool KeithWhen: January 22, 2012Where: Reggie's Rock Club, Chicago, ILBy Carmelo Espanola (CHI)With Cake Bites, we present you with sweet, crusty morsels of our writing in bite-sized form. Think of them as heavy metal petit fours -- all killer, no filler left-hooks to your brain's mouth.It's not often that hip hop artists possess crossover appeal to metal fans. Public Enemy, Wu-Tang Clan, Ice-T,

First review of the Chinese New Year is Drugs Remixes from Kool Keith.
We all have female friends who are sexually active. Some of us have even seen them engage in intercourse, or worse, heard the gory details afterwards when it concerns a good friend of ours. Like I care what my friends' cocks look like or feel like. Isn't it just like a woman to think men [...]

Nothing gets me quite as excited in life than a new SWITCH remix , part of Kool Keith' "Drugs" remix EP dropping December 13 on Sugarcane Recordings , also includes remixes from Hot Chip and Two Fingers. Full release preview here . Lets hope this the first of many new Switch remixes.

Download: El Gant - Rule by Secrecy New York rhymesayer El Gant has joined forces with The DJBooth to bring fans his latest street release, the Rule by Secrecy mixtape.The project finds the underground mainstay unraveling the most closely-guarded mysteries of the hip-hop game over the course of 19 brand new tracks. Included on the tracklist are previously-featured, reader-approved leaks "Iron Eagle," Paul Stanley" and "Problems." Joining El Gant on the guest tip throughout Rule by Secrecy are DJ Ready Cee, J. Blanc, J57, Tek, Pius, [...]

Looks like the wild blue yonder just got wilder. On "Iron Eagle", don't expect the sound of Colonel Charles 'Chappy' Sinclair and Doug Masters to break any speed barriers in F-14 Tomcats, but do expect mic veteran El Gant to rip through 16s over J. Blanc's guitar riff-sampled production. For good measure, throw in Sam Kinison vocal snippets for a hook and you got yourself a ditty (yah, he's "dissin'" rappers, but please people, it's the 'iron-y' wherein lies the humor). Stay tuned for El Gant's forthcoming mixtape Rule By Secrecy which drops next Thursday (12/1), courtesy [...]
Ryan Gosling sightings had everyone wet, but that did little to settle the dustbowl-like conditions more suited to a Joad family reunion than a music festival. So, on a day when folks were being wallet-raped up to $10 for bandanas, let us take a moment to salute hard-working and under-appreciated nosehair. Sure, we stuff stockings with shiny little gadgets designed to tame these these functional flagella around the holidays, but deep in the heart of Tatooine Texas, hirsute nares were a cheap and fashionable Fun Fun Fun Fest 6 coping mechanism. Following a lovely outdoor [...]

Though unfairly saddled with playing Cindy to SXSW's Marcia and ACL's Jan, Fun Fun Fun Fest offers more music, comedy and garden-variety debauchery over a three-day period than you can shake a stick at. 2011 represents the 6th installment of this upstart festival, and if the schedule is to be believed, FFFF6 is shaping up to be one for the annals. 3-Day Passes and single day tickets are still available for a mere pittance, but if you can't make it, fear not. MOKB is sending an envoy to cover every last note, [...]

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 [...]

Kool Keith wears a sequined burqa and a cape in the video for "The Game is Free." He's joined by an obscure group called Megabone who also dress like the rebellious offspring of Victorian magicians.
