Hip-Hop has evolved in so many ways over the years. I mean let's face it, we have come a long way from Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five . It has grown from it's disco roots to the rock infused 80's to the boom bap of the 90's to the flashy 2000's to now. Of course you had everything in between too. The point is, the world has seen a ton of growth and creativity come through the avenue that we call Hip-Hop. With all this growth we have somewhere lost the meaning of hip hop and what it's [...]
Phoenix underground emcee Realistic has linked up with themadbloggers.com , djcosthekid.com , and D&M to bring you the lead single off his upcoming mixtape entitled Greatest Hits . I really hope the world is ready for this kid because he is a run away lyricist that has no thoughts of pumping the breaks. Look out for his full project to drop this Tuesday 4-24-12 via TMB , DJCTK , and D&M.

Realistic released the new album Drowned In Meaning last month on the artist's own Blackmail Electronics label. The record sees a blending of samples matched up against synths, drum machines, and other electronically served effects. The result is sixteen tracks of mood and form best experienced with the below presented media. "Math Is Hard" "Token Gestures" "Token Gestures" http://www.blackmailelectronic s.com [...]
Though Realistic put out previous releases on the Illegal Art label, his latest, Drowned in Meaning , is out today on his own Blackmail Electronics. We can expect a lot from this Brooklyn artist, and "Token Gestures" (the video above) is among those things. It's certainly amazing.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars For years I felt like my adoration for Comet Gain was unjustified, as very few, if any, of my friends had even listened to the band. But, with the release of Broken Record Prayers , their singles collection, the group slowly seemed to gain ground with the masses; I say rightfully so. Now, we welcome the newest recording, Howl of the Lonely Crowd , which appears to have a two-sided story-one filled with [...]

MP3 - " Stumble Out Of Bed " - The Bran Flakes You know about Illegal Art from their Girl Talk releases, but the label puts out a lot of other great records as well. Illegal Art releases challenge copyright law while also celebrating sampling as a viable creative art form. Their latest release in the Illegal Art catalog is I Have Hands from The Bran Flakes , out next week and built 100% on samples. The Bran Flakes, however, [...]

Parece que este año todas las musas del universo cayeron sobre la cabeza de Plies ya que el rapero está por editar su tercer disco en lo que va del 2008. El álbum se llamará The Realist y será lanzado antes que termine el año. La noticia la dio Ted Lucas , el CEO de Slip-N-Slide Records , quien le comentó a MTV que el 16 de diciembre se editará el disco. "Plies es un arduo trabajador. No tengo necesidad de pararlo. [...]
So over the last few weeks, I've been listening to three albums that all wildly (and uniquely) experiment with the definition of music. And while I'm talking about all three here, by no means do I suggest that they have much in common other than their uncommonness . -=- The first is by a married couple that go by the name Oh Astro . Both members of the couple (Jane Dowe and Hank Hofler) had previous experience in the international electronic scene before joining together (in more than more [...]

Illegal Art , you know, the label that Girl Talk is on, has a new release today. REALISTIC drops "Perpetual Memory Loss." It's more sample based music that challenges the restrictions of copyright as interpreted by those who usually interpret the law. Realistic is a James Towning, a musician and graphic designer, currently working in Manhattan as a motion-graphics designer. Do you think Illegal Art recruits non-music making professionals on purpose? Remember when Gregg Gillis (AKA Girl Talk) used to be a biomedical engineer ? [...]
Realistic is sound collage artist James Towning and Realistic's third album, Perpetual Memory Loss , features sixteen tracks of intricate sample-based compositions – a beautifully sophisticated celebration of found sound, recorded media, technology, and electronic composition. Slices of field recordings mesh with surreal electronic melodies, creating enjoyably odd multi-layered musical fun. With this release, Illegal Art (Girl Talk, Oh Astro, Steinski) continues to challenge the restrictions of copyright as perceived by the larger music industry, further illustrating that sample-based music is strikingly some of the most original, innovative, and exciting music being made in the 21st [...]
Það er ekki eins og maður hafi fengið nóg af tónlist á Airwaves. Ónei, heldur betur ekki. Hér er smávegis af nýju efni til að vinna á leifunum af helgarþynnkunni. Kate Tucker & The Sons of Sweden Kate þessi hefur verið nefnd annaðhvort hin nýja Beth Orton eða Neko Case . Galdrar hún fram ljúft og örlítið melankólískt alþýðupopp sem passar afar vel við haustið og grámygluna hér heima. Þetta er tilvalin tónlist til að hrjúfra sig og kúra undir sæng við.
