i know all the bitches

Mr. Beatnick . . . remember the name. & listen on the myspace.

Beautiful Ahu on the vocals.

Remix package put together by Simbad, Bullion, atjazz and Paul White. It ain't even funny. Those who know, will know what I mean.

Available digitally now, and like the flyer says, vinyl heads get it in June.

Bitches & Drugs

Ruff Sqwad - Xtra

Need to get up on them. Even Benji B dropped this the other night. . .

I am coming back. . .

busy busy busy.

Best Thing

MP3: Best Thing - Usher (Ft. Jay-Z)

I probably won't check the album but the production on this is kind of doing it for me. Jay's verse is one of the best for a while too. Addressing marriage. . . / growing up.

wrapped around all girls like pashminas, what's your demeanour?

Broken Heart / Put You Down

Too big.

Martyn
Ramadanman
TRG

Cop it.

Flashing Lights (Version 2)

throwing the story at you from a different angle, this video *reportedly* wasn't what Kanye wanted. . I kinda like though.

Dubstep Allstars: Vol. 6

Appleblim on the right.

And he's the guest on the 1's and 2's in the newest edition of the Dubstep Allstars series. In my opinion the whole series to date hasn't been up to much. . there are plenty of other things I'd rather listen too. . like the guest mixes on Mary Anne Hobbs for one. But wherever this man goes, he always seem to appeal. Maybe its something about the sideburns that grow on his neck.

The tracklisting look's interesting to someone like myself, who just tends to keep tabs on the dubstep scene rather than live its every move. Maybe its just 'same old, same old' to the real heads. Who knows. . TL:

01 Peverelist - Gather
02 Peverelist & Appleblim - Circling
03 Pinch feat. Yolanda - Get Up
04 2562 - Moog Dub
05 Martyn - Suburbia
06 Jus Wan - Action Potential
07 2562 - Morvern Dub
08 TRG & Selector Dub U - Harajuku
09 Peverelist - Infinity Is Now
10 Skream - Percression
11 RSD - Pretty Bright Light
12 Mungo's Hi Fi - Babylon
13 Komonazmuk - Bad Apple
14 Komonazmuk & Gatekeeper - Cheeky Herbert
15 TRG - Decisions
16 TRG - Put U Down - Ramadanman Remix
17 TRG - Broken Hearts - Martyn Remix
18 Geiom feat. Marita - Reminissin' - Dubplate Version (Berkane Sol / Dub)

Out June 2nd on Tempa Recordings.

Lend Me Your Ears

for those who are unable to hear what we take for granted everyday. .

A very nice line up has been assembled. . (Big shouts to the Brownswood crew).

Enjoy the music and give generously. .

Green Light

Quick snippet of some new John Legend for you... With guest rapper supreme andre3000

New album must be on the way. Gunna go bump save room.

MP3: John Legend - Green Light (Ft. Andre3000) (Snippet)

Out Now. .

Boomkat (they got that Paul White Mix)

Waledance

I get brain everyday I'm a know it all

Righteous Kill New Trailer

Props to eskay @ Nahright

Also, props to youtube. . for FINALLY doing a bit of R&D to get some HD.

The Mixtape About Nothing

Click to zoooom. bloggers not working too smoothly.

People are getting realll hyped for wah-lay's (Wale) latest mixtape. . .

Good to see UK represented with Tawiah on the bill.

Dwele Album Sampler

'Sketches of a man' - June 24th.

All City 7 x 7

1 x 7 (Snowman) was great
&
3 x 7 (Fulgeance) is shaping up to be great

but mike slotts effort for the All City 7x7 beat series is almost too good.

Audio samples for all three releases can be found at Juno.co.uk, or check the Allcity myspace or even go as far as checking the individual artists pages.

If you ain't down with the concept;

each month All City will be releasing a limited edition (i think..) 7". This will go on for 7 months.
So, still to come..

Le Neko
Hudson Mohawke
Mweslee
Onra

The artworks dope, the music's always hard hitting and you'd be supporting some of the most talented beatmakers of today's generation. . Essential purchases for 08.

They'd also look really pretty lined up next to each other.

KING Mag: Nasir Jones

King Mag recently put up a pretty in depth interview with Nas. .

Today Nas will address the new album, but in the inaugural KING Legacy Q&A, he also tackles his entire 17-year career: the feuds with Biggie, 2Pac and Jay-Z; It Was Written; his overzealous fans; “Ether”; success; and “Success.” And the answer to the million-dollar question: Is he the greatest of all time?

Interview

News on Raphael Saadiq

Kano, Chipmunk, Wiley & Skepta part 1.

at Radio 1's Big Weekend.

'Who Knows about grime?' .......... Hardly the same crowd your gunna get down at dirty canvas is it?

I love the simplicity, the energy, the outfits... I love everything about this.

As usuaaaal hyperfranks got the audio.

Top5

Rotten Apple could've killed him, but Banks is back. . and he's rediscovered it.

MP3: Lloyd Banks - Top 5

Look past the G-Unit affiliation, look past the 'This Is 50' t's. . This is actually hot.

Craig David on the facial features anyone?

Studio Dances during the making of Everybody Nose

A. Does kanye have a robe on?

B. Why does Consequences kyte channel revolve around Kanye.. ?

C. Wasn't he (cons) upset that they passed him up and went straight to Pusha T for another verse?

D. What is kyte?

Everybody Nose

not feeling the song too much in all fairness but the video is very nice. And so are the girls.

check the album art here

Lollipop Remix

MP3: Lil' Wayne - Lollipop (Ft. Kanye West)

I got so much chips i swear they call me hewlett packard
I got so much chips have a bag if your a snacker

Necessary Evils

Skyzoo has to be one of my favourite emcees at the moment. . . keep your eyes peeled. Particularly look out for his joint with Wale.. many people saying its the song of the year so far.

she stopped drinking diet coke, she on that coke diet

For me this bangs soooo much more than the original. Everybody Nose, the Remix. CRS & Pusha T.

MP3: N*E*R*D - Everybody Nose (Remix) (Ft. CRS & Pusha T)

I think you'l all agree, the CRS project that is due sometime could possibly be capable of wiping the floor with a lot of those out there.

As a bonus. . the latest track to come from the nerd boysss. Instrumentallll is crazy. Like a pinball machine. But how classic is the break. . . In Search Of Esque.

MP3: N*E*R*D - Spazz

So far the general consensus on the album is that it will sound better when played live. But saying that, anything's better than 'In My Mind'.

Essentials #1 & 2

Mukatsuku are finally back. . and with Dj Mitsu's name on it you owe it to yourself to check it. Samples @ juno . Vinyl only. 4 pounds.

Manuel Tur & Dplay with some stunning deep house on behalf of the drumpoet community. Check the samples. . + this one's also available digitally. Does wonders in the headphones. . .

Check them both. I've kept talk to the minimum but that should take nothing away from the quality of the music. .

Park Bench People

The brand new video from Jose James, shot by Josh Rothstein (the director of the full length feature "The Excellent Theophillus") at a homeless shelter in New York.

Mixed Nutz Today

Just a quick shout on behalf of Alex @ Rinse.fm

..very short of time right now so taking it straight from the horses mouth;

The 'Mixed Nutz' show (yeah we dropped the other T!) returns this Saturday afternoon 1-3 pm on Rinse Fm. Fresh from our little mention in Shook issue 2 (go cop that!, Big up Jez & Gubbins) and last weeks hiatus, we have a jam packed show of sublow soul, broken stuff and Hip Hop. Plenty of upfront goodness courtesy of Arron Jerome, Joker, Flying Lotus, Floating Points, Bullion, Mr Beatnick, 2Tall, Kashmere, Ramadanman, Dilla, Floorman, Mike Slott etc.....

This week were joined by my unreliable host Hey Zeus and the delectable vocal tones of Fatima.

So it should be a whole bunch of fun and sound rather dope!

The weathers nice so make sure you crank up your transistor radios or car stereo's.

Head to 100.4 fm (in London) or tune in online at WWW.RINSE.FM.

Tune in, you won't be disappointed. Much more to come from him Via. myself. . I love the term sublow soul.

Dj Khaled Show

hahahahah. . .

kanye's got some serious head nodding going on there.

khaled's got a lot going on there.

Love It Here

Drive-bys, windows bust out bullets putting in lawn chairs
from a block over, sounding like Lil' Jon snares
Life's gotten colder, I'm revealing a smirk
How's hustling not a job when you feel you at work
Mama told me keep my brain in them books
I grew up learning only way you earning is becoming famous or crooks
And since schools never taught us to be entrepreneurs
but we don't have patience to make money off of computers
We live the fast life where officers shoot us
Get scarred; strip bars, where broads take bras off of they hooters
Such a ugly game, why it look beautiful from afar...
You in prison wishing they was removing you from the bars

MP3: Elzhi - Love It Here (Prod. J Dilla)

so, so, so good.
watch out for the new stuff.
(flipped it to the central)

Pastelle Sunglasses

Finally some information on yeezys pastelle line. .

get the full scoop at wooohah!

the glasses. . "will feature limited-edition gold frames, which will sell for about $2000"

can anyone explain this line to me.. is the whole range gonna be priced like this, or is anything gonna be available for the man who isn't stupidly rich..?

Playing with the price of music. .

'...gathers sales data in real-time, analyzes purchasing behavior, and sets new prices that hit the 'sweet spot' where consumer demand and market potential meet...'

Article Here
cheers tss

. . . finally leaving the market to its own forces then. I don't know why this is only a trial. . . It's hardly revolutionary.

You can wear beige..

And i'l wear blue.

MP3: Wiley - If Ur Going Out I'm Going Out Too (CDQ)

The only track that vaguely stood out to me on the first listen of the Wiley album. .

. . . mixtape or album . . . ? I'm quite disappointed.

Breathe

by Tinchy Stryder.

Aint his best work but it's only to tide you until the real single coming in July, 'Stryderman'.

Dixon's Record Box

Never had the pleasure to see him play. . something to do before I become unfashionable I guess. Haven't heard many of the tracks that he is talking about in the interview. . however the new Laurent Garnier is superb. As well as Martin Buttrich's 'Stoned Autopilot' (He sums it up perfectly) and the latest Radioslave, 'Tankatakan'.

The forthcoming album from Tokyo Black Star also sounds interesting;

His album will be a new mix of all his tracks – a DJ mix which doesn’t just mix the tracks together, but uses for example a beat from one track with an atmosphere from another track to give it a complete flow.

Full Article Here.

Innervisions @ Myspace (Hear the new Laurent Garnier)

Really really really really want to go to Berlin.

Keys to the Bentley

she wants the keys to the bentley

.................Mans got to make ends meet I guess.

Who will be next to get on the 'rolex bandwagon'..

MP3: Lethal B - Keys to The Bentley

Once Upon A Video - Sincere & Natty

Unlike some UK artists this mans actually got quality control on what he puts out. Single out in July (I think..)

Give support. .
Sincere @ Myspace

Vula - If You Want It (1xtra Session)

She's currently being championed by the likes of Ronnie Herel and Mistajam. . Really strong track.

But why do artists feel the need to swap their myspace profiles around..?

Common & Karriem Riggins - Tribute To Dilla (LIVE)

Swiped from Nahright . . THankyou.

News on the new common album (due in July) - on the sidebar.

Termanology - Sirius Freestyle

And I still haven't got round to checking his latest mixtape. . Durrrr!
