Listen: Gatekeeper- “Tree Drum (Total Freedom Debt Stalking Version)”

If you killed a man by filling his body parts with a zillion bullets and the brutal murder made a pleasant sound then it would resemble this version of Gatekeeper‘s “Tree Drum”.

Gatekeeper has an album release party at the Public Assembly in New York Friday for their new LP EXO. More release party info on the Facebook invite here

Video: The Tribe & Big Cats – “DMT Flow”

YouTube Preview Image

Initially, I watched the above video because it had a tank in it and I am huge No Limit fan.  I kept watching because the song was was dope. DMT Flow is the opposite of No Limit soundwise as it’s some true school Hip Hop . So after looking into I found out Tribe & Big Cats are a rap group based in Minneapolis and they just dropped a free album called Space via soundcloud.  Big Cats production is kinda nice.

Peep Rolling Stones off Space below.

 

Listen: Rapsody – “NonFiction” ft. Raheem Devaughn & Ab-Soul (prod. by 9th Wonder)

I don’t remember the name of every female emcee on Bahamadia’s “3 the Hard Way” at this minute. I will say after hearing 9th Wonder’s friend Rapsody rock on this NonFiction song next to TDE’s Ab Soul that you could probably lie to me and claim that she was on that classic posse cut. Hopefully her debut LP ,‘The Idea Of Beautiful’, which is slated to be released on 8-28-2012 via Jamla Records will be just as fresh as “NonFiction”.

Video: Kreayshawn – “Go Hard”

YouTube Preview Image

Pro Tip: If you want to question what the hell you are doing with yourself watch the above Kreayshawn video a few times instead of doing your work at your job, reading a book, or making yourself food. You should watch this from the perspective of a 14 year old girl then immeadeately switch back to your reality.

Unless you are a High School girl; Then you should do what the song says Go Hard, I guess.

I am by no means angry at this song off of Kreayshawn’s upcoming album “Something About Kreay”. And something about that bothers me.

 

Video: P. Blackk & Raz Fresco – “Buck 50”

I applaud the type of individual that brings his dude and fellow Baker’s Club member Raz Fresco to our city to rock over a Heather B & M.O.P. instrumental and ends the freestyle joint with an outro that samples an excerpt from Nas’ infamous Power 105 interview. P.Blackk would be that individual in this situation.

Janay Photography shot the video here in Columbus, as well. “Buck 50 ” features a cameo from Little Rock’s Baker’s Club rep Lo Thraxx, too.

This video isn’t promoting anything but being dope.

Be on the lookout for Contemporary Nostalgia, The Popcorn Tape, and The BOLD from P Blackk, Raz Fresco x ChillxWill, and Lo Thraxx respectively.

So The Flaming Lips’ Wayne Coyne Randomly Showed Up at Bodega Last Night

SO the Flaming Lips’ Wayne Coyne randomly showed up to Bodega here in Columbus, Ohio last night. I was supposed to go up there for a friend’s going away party but a case of poison ivy cause my face to swell and I stayed in. Anyway, from all accounts Wayne was consistantly surrounded by pretty much every female in the bar. Above is Mr.Coyne holding up a Higher Level Art sticker that Andrew Kern gave him. Below is Mr. Coyne posing with Alisha Bicknall.

MP3: TOTAL CARNAGE (spin)

Awhile back we posted remix of a Gift of Gab  song done by Wavves’ Nathan Williams and his brother Kynan . Well, Fool’s Gold is putting out an instrumental  beat tape by the Williams brothers called Stay Calm on August 7th.  Thy William’s brothers project itself is called Sweet Valley. On the tape they chop and screw American Bandstand breaks on joints like the above “Total Carnage” and I guess go g-funk on “Dunk Dreams 95”.  Smoke weed everyday.

Wavves are also on the cover of Spin with Best Coast.
