I may come back and edit in some words about this, but right now I just can’t. Holy Shit.

Swisha House ‘In The Game 4 Life 2K1′

Saturday, July 31st, 2010

While Swisha House is no longer the en vogue movement it once was, Watts and his current crew continue to put out heavyweight jamz on a bi-monthly basis. The fact that Fam 420 (Magno, Coota Bang & Konan) is going to be an actual thing is exciting as fuck.  Some really great songs on this.

Enjoy

Stik Gilatine ‘Stik Skywalker’

Friday, July 30th, 2010

New tape from one of San Jose’s finest. There are a ton of great guest appearances and jamz of strength on this beast. You will surely find something to enjoy here. Stik is really hitting his stride here.

Enjoy

Check the video featuring the epic triumvirate that the mates over at SH got together.

Yelawolf – Looking for alien love

Friday, July 30th, 2010

Errybody is going crazy for the Yelawolf/Gucci Mane collaboration, but to me this song is way more interesting (and better). There are a couple of really cool things happening here… He starts with a soft spoken word delivery which gradually rises to an intensity of a mad preacher’s sermon and finally morphs into fast rap. The beat evolves from minimal keys with chipmunk vocals into a drone, then adds layer after layer of drums until things get vaguely jungle-ish. It’s all a bit weird and proggy and experimental and doesn’t even feel like rap in the traditional sense of the word. This is a different side of Yelawolf, I’d like to see more of it.

SMS Presents: O’Third Ent. – In the box

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

This is good day for mixtapes, first Gibbs now this. You know SMS puts out quality product, and the O’Third crew has been on a particularly winning streak lately (see here). And you know releases from Huntsville are always family affairs, so there’s bound to be a cast of luminaries involved. So you know you gotta download this one.

EDIT: Had to revise the post a little after listening. There are nowhere near as many guests on here as I thought there would be. It’s an O’Third showcase all the way through, and it does a great job of displaying their considerable talents. Calling it a mixtape doesn’t do it justice either, as a cohesive statement of purpose it’s better than many ‘official’ albums released this year (granted, these semantic distinctions don’t matter much anymore).

VIDEO: thekeenone – Legal drug addict (Produced by DJ Starscream)

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

thekeenone aka Mama Keen is talented chick and a friend of ours (salut!) This is the video for her single Legal Drug Addict, an ode to a subject my brain and nostrils recall with a mixture of nostalgia and self-disgust. It was directed with unnerving jumpy flair by Jon Buch.

Is it weird that I got flashes of the girls in the background whipping me with yoyo’s while wearing stiletto heeled thigh high boots?

You can buy the single on Itunes and Amazon. You can also visit http://www.keen.tv/ for more info about Keen and some merch (custom Chucks, tshirts, etc.) Some pics of the swag are below.

Freddie Gibbs – Str8 Killa No Filla

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

This one of the summer’s most anticipated releases, so I’m not even gonna say anything. Except that I’m psyched to see Block Beattaz production on this, Gibbs needs to go to Alabama more often. A Gibbs/G-Side collaboration would be nice.
