Convergent evolution is when two completely separate lineages evolve similar features. In nature we see this with the Sugar Glider and the Flying Squirrel (there's your daily bit of knowledge). Outside of nature we can see this between Dub & Dubstep. The former came out of 19602s Reggae with a focus on remixing original tracks through bringing [...]
Dallask is a very talented producer with a great sound. The songs that he puts out are always Electro House gems filled with bass. As We Enter is one of the producers older, heavier songs. It starts right off with a hard kick snare and a clever sampling of some of the horns from the original. The song progresses into a massive electro house song filled with the professionally produced sounds that DallasK is gaining infamy for. The break could almost stand as a remix on its own where DallasK makes his own version of the Hip - Hop beat [...]
Freedom Fighter by Raheem DeVaughn He is the voice of people who have an informed perspective. The Grammy Nominated self proclaimed neo soul r&b hippie rockstar, Raheem Devaughn, understands that progress requires the ability to be fearless. On October 15, 2011 alongside colleague/friend/America's profound thinkers, Dr. Cornell West, and 18 other participants, he was arrested on the steps of the United States Supreme Court for protesting with Occupy DC. As he described his experience as one of the most enlightening moments of his life, it fueled a fire [...]
So, yeah, well, this happened the other day.
Supergroups are nothing new in the world of music, in fact they date back all the to the mid-1960s when Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker formed arguably the first one with Cream. The trend has been has a big renaissance in recent years with the likes of Monsters Of Folk, Wild Flagg, Them Crooked Vultures and The Dead Weather, all qualifying. The latest group to throw their collective hat into the the ring, may also be one of the most unique and eclectic ones, with Mick Jagger, Dave Stewart (Eurythmics), Damien "Jr. Gong" Marley, Joss Stone and Indian [...]
With so many tours and shows bundled in exclusive package deals by big agency booking agents (definitely one of the many problems with the music industry), it's always nice to see local acts getting their opportunity to support and shine in front of larger audiences when big name artists comes through town. Tonight WrittenHouse will be opening for the legendary Nas and Damien Marley. The Germantown outfit of old buddies consisting of producers Chris Conway, Kush Shalimar and emcee Charlie K (with hypeman Somerville Sleeves during live performances) will get their chance to win over some new fans [...]

Ya had it for a minute, it felt like a month. As We Enter the Gravel Pit - Wu-Tang Clan, Nas & Damien Marley (Skratch Bastid Blend) by Skratch Bastid
So here's one of those stories that seems like it was launched by a coke-addled publicist, but is actually true: Mick Jagger, along with Damien Marley, Joss Stone, the Eurythmics' Dave Stewart, and composer A.R. Rahman, have formed a new group, Super Heavy, which has a debut album coming out in September. The music apparently blends reggae, ballads, and "Indian songs in Urdu" (which sounds awful) and was started a year and a half ago when the group met in a studio to see what would happen. Super Heavy happened, apparently. The group has no plans to tour at the [...]

I pissed myself when I read the title as well. Going to school in Binghamton you usually have to watch other universities have fun while we get the worst acts known to man. This year our wonderful Spring Fling will feature Taking Back Sunday and Far East Movement while I watch Cornell get Ra Ra Riot, Nelly & The Cool Kids and well Syracuse get Cudi, Nas, Damien Marley and Tinie Tempah. I sit here staring at this poster and contemplating my escape from the hell that is Binghamton University. Now that I got you all hot and [...]
Yeah...this combination is about as incredible as it seems. Nas doing his thing, meshed with Damian Marley doing his thing, awesome!

Nas & Damian Marley on [...]

Take some squeaky clean pop vocals, throw in some guitar riffs and a membership to Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club and you end up with the chart topping artist that is Bruno Mars . The singer-songwriter and producer, who shares the writing credits for hits such as B.O.B 's 'Beautiful Girls' and Cee Lo Green 's 'Fuck You', dominated a large chunk of the world's radio airwaves in 2010. This successful run seems to have carried over to this year by selling out Camden's famous Koko venue two nights in a row. [...]
First, an AWESOME video showing every Kanye West sample ever. THE NATIONAL I love the National. I was first hooked on them when I heard "Fake Empire," specifically by the line "we are half asleep in a fake empire." What a killer line!! It's poetry, I tell ya. ...I know nothing about poetry. But anyways, ever since then, I've been a big fan. But it's not just their tendency for musical poetry [...]
DISTANT RELATIVES "Patience" from nabil elderkin on Vimeo . Most people know the song from when it was featured in ENTOURAGE last season. It was like *Vince is passed out next to his porn star girlfriend, here's a huge back of coke - SABALI*. Definitely the best song from Nas & Damien's DISTANT RELATIVES. This video reminds me a lot of Kanye's clip for "Power." Pretty cool visuals. Vimeo > YouTube. be sure to download the track & check the Miike Snow remix [...]
DISTANT RELATIVES "Patience" from nabil elderkin on Vimeo . Damian Marley & Nas are Distant Relatives well sort of... They formed the group with the intention on releasing an EP that would help bring attention to the on going problems in Africa, but lucky for us they decided to make it a full length album. This video is so sick check the imagery. Video Credits: Directed and shot by: NABIL.com Editor: Eric Greenburg Post/artwork: Gustavo [...]
