Video: Nas - Noisemakers with Peter Rosenberg

Mar 30, 4:23am A Grumpy Old Man With A Beard

NYC radio dude Peter Rosenberg's Noisemakers series is heavenly business for the true school hip hop head. Nothing too fancy or flossy - just classic artists telling classic stories about their music. Chances are that even the most hard core rap anoraks will learn something new every time Pete throws down, and his latest session with Nas is no different. As part of the recent music melange that was SXSW, Pete drafted in Nasir to get in depth on a bunch of subjects, covering from his early days through to the present. [...]

Friday Five: In Memory of Gil Scott-Heron

Jul 1, 2011, 1:58pm indie shuffle

In May, we lost a musical and cultural luminary. Greg Tate already eulogized Gil Scott-Heron publicly better than anyone, or at least I, could.

He has been source material for some classic pieces of music in the past 20 years. In this playlist, I've collected a few tracks that, in different forms, carry on his sound [...]

Oh Mama: Young Mama

May 8, 2009, 8:42pm Star Maker Machine

Olu Dara: Young Mama [ purchase ] NYC-based cornetist, guitarist, singer and songwriter Olu Dara has lived in the shadows of greatness for most of his career, from his early incarnation as an avant-garde jazz session player for the likes of Art Blakey and Cassandra Wilson to his turn-of-the-century reinvention as a solo artist and band leader -- a move which revealed a talent for catchy, funky, radio-ready jazz-tinged folk-blues with an ear towards modern African and Afro-Caribbean poprhythms and the storytelling speech patterns of the old [...]
