27.Jan.2009 You Need To Know About K’Naan
I was just about to post about K’Naan, when I came across this new video of his. He’s a rapper but he has a real earthy, laid back style that I love. Think K-Os x Old School will.i.am. SIck. This track is from his upcoming album, Troubador, which drops Feb. 12th.

18.Jan.2009 Gorrilla Zoe – Lost f. Lil’ Wayne
This is a super slept-on track from Zoe’s last album, Welcome to the Zoo, that I’m pretty sure the majority of you haven’t heard. The song has a slow, haunting beat with enough bass to make the sidewalk crumble and one of the catchiest rapper-turnt-sanger hooks I’ve ever heard from the big man Zoe himself. [...]
28.Dec.2008 The Art of Bowtie Pimpin’ f. Andre 3000 & Fonzworth Bentley – The Dreamer
This track isn’t new, but it is most certainly some of the hottest gravy I’ve heard in a minute. I scooped up this gem over at DCtoBC (thanks once again Modi). It’s a track by The Dreamer, the frontman from the band Hollyweerd. It features the ever-amazing Andre Three Stacks and even a verse from [...]
21.Dec.2008 Soon We’ll Be Found – Sia
Above is the most beautiful music videos made for one of the most beautiful songs I think I’ve heard all year. The track is Soon We’ll Be Found by Austrailian vocalist Sia Furler, off of her 3rd studio album, Some People Have Real Problems, which dropped back in January. I don’t think I’ve ever seen [...]
05.Dec.2008 My Favorite DJ
Man, Jazzy Jeff is slept on way too much. Dude is one of the illest DJ’s of our time and do you ever hear about him? Most people probably only recognize him as Jazz from Fresh Prince. He had a nice long run with Will Smith, but more times than not, he was only [...]
03.Dec.2008 Countdown

02.Dec.2008 First Poooost
WHAT UP NOPOTATOES! This avick (my first post) and I hope your ready to get your ear pussies slammed by Black Milks latest offering Tronic. Black Milk is a great rapper/producer, and his lessons from Jay Dilla (R.I.P) really show. Tronic is a bit of a departure from the soul-beat laden Popular Demand, taking a [...]
01.Dec.2008 The Mouse is Killin ‘Em
He wears giant mouse ears, light-up eyes and a ridiculous grin. And he fucking rocks shows. Deadmau5 (pronounced deadmouse) aka Joel Zimmerman makes some of the dopest house/electro/epic music I’ve heard in a minute. If this shit doesn’t get your party poppin, you’re probably a herb and invited all your herby friends.

30.Nov.2008 Little Known Cool Kids
Hey Ya’ll!
David here for my first post. Of course I gotta give props to my boys Dan and Ian for gettin this little diddly off the ground. To commemorate this moment I’m gonna share one of my favorite songs with you. This a fairly unknown Cool Kids track called Fresher Than You. Enjoy both exquisite [...]
I Just Got My Modjo Back
Modjo is a French (of course) house/pop musical duo made up of producer Romain Tranchart and vocalist Yann Destagnol (aka Yann Destal). They dropped their hit single Lady (Hear Me Tonight) way back in 2000, but it’s just now starting to garner some attention stateside. It’s a shame really because these dudes are mad [...]
