As my ex-commrade Ryan had mentioned in an earlier post, The Dodos will be coming out with a new album entitled Time To Die on September 15th. I was able to obtain a leak from Pitchfork of the track “Fables” which will be featured on the new album. I remember when Ryan told me about these guys’ album Visiter, I took one listen and I was immediately hooked on their harmonies and acoustic sound. Pitchfork also said that The Dodos label, Frenchkiss Records, launched a new website so that fans could stream the new album Time To Die which you can go to here.

Black Milk Brings Detroit to the Den Haag iLoveHipHop Festival

I don’t think posting about this guy is ever going to get old. Black Milk was over in Den Haag (The Netherlands) for the iLoveHipHop Festival to tear apart the stage and bring a little bit of Detroit to Europe. In the first video above there is a nice lengthy intro of some of Black’s best work (in my opinion, I love the beat to “Sound of the City”) and then he jumps right into “Long Story Short” with full force. The thing that I’m loving about this video is that Black is performing with a live band, which is something that is truly amazing to see at a Hip-Hop show. Follow me after the jump to watch the other two videos featuring “Losing Out” & “Sound The Alarm”. Continue reading →

Alchemist In His Early Days as a Chemist

Posted in Media, Video with tags , on Thursday, July 16, 2009 by Tim Althaus

I’m pretty sure this video is making the rounds on the internet like wildfire. This video is mad tight, and it features Alchemist making beats back in the 90’s in his room at NYU. You can see that his tools of the trade at that time were stacks of vinyl, an ASR-10 & the classic Technic 1200’s. It just goes to show that Al has been a beast ever since he’s been on the scene.

Wu-Tang beef with Joe Budden escalates at Rock the Bells 2009

Posted in Media, News, Video with tags , , , , , on Thursday, July 16, 2009 by Nolan Levenson

After Joe Budden dissed Method Man’s lyrical abilities, Inspectah Deck released a song in retaliation and here at Rock the Bells ’09 in DC, Deck and Raekwon talk about their beef with Joe Budden. Personally, I don’t think this is the way to handle the problem, complaining about him on stage after quesitoning Budden’s “manliness” for not confronting them in person. After the stage performance, Raekwon sits down with undergroundhiphop.com to discuss the beef.
