Common feat. Ladybug Mecca - The People (remix) I must let this be known, I got this joint in a nice little email after I heard it on a late night coming home from an event back in 2008. I've only heard this on Canada's WEFUNK Radio (via itunes). I just remembered being halfway sleep when I end up being woken up by a melodic joint that was smooth, with Common rhyming to it! So I checked out the show's archives and found where it was playing live. I emailed DJ Static (who's [...]

The production duo of Ancient Astronauts are getting ready to release an artist album on ESL, June 9th - We Are To Answer .

'Ill Vacation' and 'Science Fiction', the most unlikely of bedfellows, sit cheek by jowl the latter being a Brazilian holiday breezer and [...]

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.

The first big event of the 2008 election season was held last night, the Iowa caucus . Given that I'm a bit of a politics nut, I decided to take a look around at all of the candidates last night to find out more about their taste in music. The search proved a bit fruitless, but then, as the results started to pour in, it struck me - perhaps EAR FARM could pick some songs for each of the candidates, based upon their Iowa caucus results. So that's exactly what we did. Is that stupid? Fine, go away! Does [...]
The Bounce is back from a rainy vacation in central Wisconsin. And after spending all that time with Biggie, I've got remixes on the dome. Just like Diddy! Eric B and Rakim Paid In Full (7 Minutes of Madness - Coldcut Remix) 12", 1987 Back when we all used to wear our driving gloves to the teen club (oh, like you didn't), "7 Minutes of Madness" was the craziest remix out there. Wigged-out
