Friday, November 7th, 2008So my friend (yeah Jerry, this is you) has been bugging me about why I have not written about Q-Tip‘s recently released album The Renaissance. It’s a good question. I think sometimes I get so set in my ways, in trying to find new music and artists, that I tend to shift my focus away [...]

Flying Lotus ft. Dolly
Monday, May 19th, 2008Don’t know how I missed this one…some of the best from Flying Lotus in awhile. The song features Dolly, which apparently is the combination of Flying Lotus and Ahu, so I’m not sure why it’s labeled as Flying Lotus ft. Dolly. Whatever, I’m going to stop thinking too much about this and let you enjoy [...]
Santogold at Virgin Records!!!!
Wednesday, April 30th, 2008So Santogold’s album dropped yesterday, and you better believe I was at the Virgin Record Store at 9:30 in the morning making sure I got my my wristband to see her perform later that night! I’m not sure what kind of performance (or person) I was expecting, but I sure didn’t get it…and that is [...]
Rewind: Kid Cudi
Friday, April 25th, 2008So it seems I made a mistake on my Kid Cudi post a couple days ago. That “Old Money Vocal Edit” was not actually an official Cudi remix, so I just want to put it out there that he had nothing to do with that. However though he does have a mixtape coming out, Plain [...]
Kid Cudi
Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008I don’t know about you, but a lot of times I find myself passing over songs the first time I hear them, maybe I’m in a rush, or looking for something in particular, but it has been happening a lot lately. Luckily for me, I usually end up hearing the song someplace and I find [...]

Friday, April 18th, 2008In collaboration with 215:The Freshest Kids (which includes Cerebral Vortex), Rustie has just released a nice little collection of off-kilter hip-hop instrumentals a kin to that of Flying Lotus. So pick up Cafe De Phresh out now over at Boomkat.
The Carps and The Cool Kids
Thursday, March 27th, 2008I have always been a fan of The Carps, but The Cool Kids have taken a while to grow on me. Which I think is mostly due to my loyalty to Pac Div, who are often comapred to them. Oh well, I like this song, it’s a nice slow departure from the more upbeat songs [...]
