You know, I’d almost forgotten what your eyes looked like. Still the same. Pissholes in the snow.
Please allow me a brief movie nerd moment. Here is one of the greatest score composers performing what is arguably his greatest creation – the theme from Get Carter. Which in itself is one of the top 3 greatest British crime thrillers of all time, featuring one of Michael Cain’s best performances. Obviously I’m a bit of a fan of all of this.
This is a bonus track from The Adult Swim Singles Program, it will not be on Str8 Killa No Filla.

The city of Atlanta has a complex and long history with Hip Hop going back into the late 1970’s.
Much of this history pre-LaFace records, pre-Outkast and GooDie MoB isn’t known.
Headland & Delowe is a documentary series attempting to weave together the story lines of the artists, managers, promoters and journalists of Atlanta Hip Hop over the past three decades to get an understanding of where Atlanta Hip Hop has been and where it might be going.
Big thanks to Dominick Brady for putting this together, I’m looking forward to more episodes. Dominick’s direct download link is below, you can also stream this on his tumblr page here.

First spotted at Tumblinerb.
Quick turnaround on this one. Easily my favorite non-Curren$y weed anthem of the summer. Shouts to Arnold Palmer and jammin’ ass guitar solos.
Throwback Jiggy Era Country Rap Tunes.
Over the past month Dam-Funk has been sharing a few previously unreleased tracks via his soundcloud page. You can stream them below. The individual pages for each song also give some additional info on where they came from and how they were made.

Another one from The Stargazing Soundtrack, featuring some young Midwest talents. The song is actually a rework of a track featured on The Prologue Pt. 1. Overall, this mixtape is looking really good so far. I’m tempted to ignore all further leaks from it just so it’s all still new to me once it comes out. That probably wont happen though.
A previously unreleased song, recorded during the Marcberg sessions but not included on the album.
Huge props to Doxside for this one.
All sorts of spacey stuff here, broken down to the minerals and reshaped with great care by digger extraordinaire/producer Doc Delay. The result generally defies genre classification but sounds pretty much like you’d want it to sound based on the cover above. Highly recommended, this is one of the best mixes I’ve heard all summer.

So for the most part the new El-P album/megamixxx sounds like you think it would – its a dense and cluttered dispatch from a dystopia populated entirely by brain stomping mechanical drums. Then at track 14 there’s a sharp left turn, and the suffocating claustrophobia suddenly gives way to an airy 3 minutes of proggy guitar and synth. And for a moment El-P comes kinda close to sounding like his acronym namesake.
This departure makes sense considering it’s credited to ‘Wilder Zoby ft. El-P’. Zoby is one of the co-founders of Chin Chin, and Contagious Snippet actually feels more in line with some of their work than it does with El-P’s. Regardless of who’s leading who on here, these two need to make more stuff like this asap.
