iVideo... BLAK TWANG - BEFORE & AFTER

This record dropped as an exclusive on Soul Culture last week and NOW just in, the good people over at Soul Culture shot over the video for Blak Twang's new single 'Before & After'... I shouldn't have to educate you on this U.K Hip-Hop Legend (the first time I ever heard Estelle was on this man's record! Who remembers that?) SO I wont... Just check out the video after the Jump, I'm especially feeling the Bruce Lee Sampling... Very reminiscent of classic Hip-Hop cuts before it!

Just IN... BIAS Ft. GLENN - STENCIL (Produced by Kris Breeze)

The homie Kris Breeze just shut this brand new record over from Atlanta-based Emcees Bias and Glenn titled 'Stencil', the 2nd single off of Bias's soon to be released album 'Sent by Messenger' which is due out in April... Check it out, lemme know what you think? Production on this is courtesy Kris Breeze by the way so definitely check him out too!!!

#shouts to Kris Breeze for the heads up.

Until the Next Time...

iFashion... Introducing The Definitive Collection by Yetty D

OK so I'm NOT a fashion blogger so I won't go on & on about trimmings, texture, patterns, appliqu, hemmings, the perfect cut or ANY of that BUT what I do know & as with Music is there's either Good Fashion or there's Bad Fashion, it should always be that simple... Well 'The Definitive Collection' by Yetty D is quite simply GOOD Fashion... 

iPresent to you 'The Definitive Collection' by Yetty D!

Take a look at their Spring/Summer 2010 goodness + Read Excerpts from Yetty D Ogunnubi, the creator... after the jump!

#shouts to OS!!!

Until the Next Time...

“They play it safe…Are quick to assassinate what they do not understand. They move in packs ingesting more and more fear with every act of hate on one another. They feel most comfortable in groups, less guilt to swallow. They are US! This is what we have become, afraid to respect the individual. A single person within a circumstance can move one to change, to love our self, to EVOLVE.” - Erykah Badu

iMusic... Erykah Badu - Turn Me Away (Get Munny)

By all indications, this album is going to be nothing short of an incredible work of art... I cannot wait for March 30th! Definitely Go OUT/Stay IN & purchase 'New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Ankh)'... In the meantime, enjoy this one off of the album, as seen at Xclusive Zone




Like I said... Incredible!!!

iVideo... Wolf Gang - Back to Back

I like this song ALOT! Granted the video for it is a little All Over the Place but it doesn't take away from what an amazing song this is... Far better than his last Autumn's 'The King and All His Men', so much better IMO! Check out the 'Back to Back' demo after the jump via Atlantic Records UK

& to your original question, who is Wolf Gang? Well London-based 23-Year Old Max McElligot + the occasional 3-piece Band... Think David Bowie (+ Byrne) + Think Talking Heads + Think Brian Eno + Think Grizzly Bear (not for the animal reference, I meant the BAND lol!)

Download: Wolf Gang - Back to Back

Until the Next Time...

iVideo... METH + GHOST + RAE - OUR DREAMS

I've been resisting the temptation of posting anything related to this collaboration album, The 'Wu-Massacre' by Ghostface Killah, Method Man & Raekwon since I begun this blog... The Album is due out on March 30th & I will definitely by BUYING it, so should you... THIS IS EPIC STUFF

Catch the video for the single 'Our Dreams' after the JUMP + The limited Wu-Massacre Collector's Edition Covers that you will be trying to get your hands on come March 30th... ENJOY

LATE PASS... DRAKE + THE DREAM - SHUT IT DOWN (NO TAGS)

So this is me on my Twitter... AS you usually are obviously & Shadez the Misfit is talking bout "I'm feeling Drake's début Single, Shut it Down" & I swear I thought 'Over' was the début single off of his debut album, 'Thank Me Later'??? Well I was WRONG! Actually QUITE SLOW & QUITE WRONG cos apparently this has been out & about for time now but yeah anyway, this is the TAGLESS debut single off of the hugely anticipated album... Check it OUT is all I am saying... Trademark Drizzy all over this one... Reminds me a bit of Brand NeW | HoustAtlantaVegas i.e that GOOD s**t!!!

"Most of y’all probably heard this record the other day when it leaked with the Sample Clearance Only tags allll over it. We withheld posting as it’s impossible to even listen to. That is until the homie Travie got a hold of it and did a helluva job on eliminating all the tags (pretty crazy shit imo). Still not the official CDQ from what I’m being told (although it sure does sound that way) but this will definitely do for now. First single off Thank Me Later incase you didn’t know. Enjoy!" - Shake (2 Dope Boyz)
