Fiend – So gone
Monday, August 30th, 2010
I keep a pimp cup
my thoughts are pimpish
my rides are pimpish
god damnit I will call myself a pimp
therefore…. we will pimp on
all my macs – enjoy
-Fiend
I’m not sure if this is new or old or what, but it’s new to me and its killer.

Coughee Brothaz – Collector’s Edition (Prerelease) 2006
Friday, August 27th, 2010
I need to transfer this from one computer to another via Divshare, so I figured I’d throw the link up here as well. This is a classic mixtape, a summer staple for me since it was released, imo slightly better than Waiting Our Turn and way better than the last few Devin outings. The Brothaz pretty much do god’s work for weed music here.

VIDEO: Dj Cunta & Kristmas – Somebody ft Adia Harmony
Wednesday, August 25th, 2010DOWNLOAD: DJ Cunta & Kristmas – Somebody ft Adia Harmony (prod. By R.Dot & Sizahanz)
The visual accompaniment to the anthemic Somebody, directed by ST Trillsburge. Some context and commentary courtesy of Codie G:
This video was shot in the same neighborhood as Antione Dodson a few days before all his viral bonanza started. It’s great that it’s coming out after that because this is our version of what’s going down in Huntsville. We have highlighted over the years so much of what’s makes this city such as NASA, Redstone Arsenal, etc but this is the first time we dove into the gentrification going on in our city i.e. the Starshipz and Rocketz cover. Well this is the first video.
The contrast in this is the two schools shown and the two sets of housing projects. One we show the past, Boarded up schools and projects to a school that just closed down “For Sale” to a housing project on the chopping block for closure. The mural is from library satellite in another housing projects, Mason Court. The irony in this work of art is it’s hidden from the major thoroughfare running parallel to the library for the world to see. I call it hidden hope. With that said i give you the “Somebody” video
One detail about the video I want to point out – note that everyone is holding microphones. This is a clever touch that connects the dots between documentary and performance aspects of the video, underscoring the song’s compelling relationship of medium and message. Props to whoever came up with that idea.

Yung Clova – Wi-Fi ft. PH (prod. by Yung Clova) – taken from the Koolest Kid mixtape
Tuesday, August 17th, 2010
Wi-Fi is the standout on Clova’s new solo mixtape, the song that showcases both his underrated rapping abilities and his developing production skills. It’s also the most G-side-ish track on the whole thing (obviously not counting the actual G-side tracks). The rest of the Koolest Kid is no slouch either, being especially valuable in presenting a side of Clova not usually seen in the group setting. There is a bit too much interference from the DJ for my taste, but that can be overlooked.

Aleon Craft – The Stargazing Soundtrack
Monday, August 16th, 2010
Based on the early leaks and the two Prologue Eps I’m expecting some quality Blacklight Poster Rap. So far Aleon and SMKA have managed to stay away from the fruitier aspects of that particular subgenre, hopefully that’s the case here as well.

Bentley – I know / Kristmas – Why I Wanna
Thursday, August 12th, 2010
Today we conclude the promotional portion of DB49 week with two exclusive solo DB49′er efforts, one from Bentley and one from Kristmas. DB49′s debut album Happy Hour drops tomorrow, you might as well start pre-gaming now. The album is conveniently free, so you have more money to spend on beer and weed and DB49 merch or whatever you like to get fucked up on. As of post time it’s around 9 only in certain parts of Europe and Africa, the rest of you got no excuse.
First up alphabetically we got Bentley’s I Know. The song is a slightly off-kilter/drunken take on typical rapper/r&b chick collaborations, dedicated to the universal subject of bitches. You get a nice mellow nod-inducing beat from Mr. Beatnik, two hilarious Bentley verses as bookends, and some sweet crooning from guest songstress Ahu in the middle (her phrasing of ‘I know all the bitches’ is profoundly bonerrific). There’s also a nice little bit reminiscent of the ‘vertical hold’ gag from The Man On The Moon, you’ll know it when you hear it.

Next we got Why I Wanna from Kristmas. Here Professor Kristmas gets his Harvard on to give a 301 level class about the in and outs of the W2 Boy philosophy, with detailed arguments and examples and an appropriate soundbite from ATL to drive the point home. The song was co-produced by Bossman and R.Dot. It premiered officially last night on Baller’s Eve radio.

Big thanks to Codie G for blessing us with the exclusives. Art credits go to Bentley (who came up with the idea for the pic above) and John Turner Jr (who brought it to life).
