Swollen Members – Armed to the Teeth

Posted in News with tags , , , , on Thursday, August 20, 2009 by Nolan Levenson

Swollen Members announced their new album entitled Armed to the Teeth due out October 13th. The album will feature guest spots from Talib Kweli, Tech N9ne, and La Coka Nostra. Here are two free tracks, neither of which I am too crazy about. The chorus on “Warrior” is quite annoying. I was really pleased with their last effort, Black Magic so hopefully the whole LP will not disappoint.

Here’s Jay-Z’s brand new video for the track “Run This Town” featuring Rihanna and Kanye of The Blueprint 3 due out in September. It’s pretty dope. Enjoy!

Well look at this gem we have here courtesy of Nah Right. This is the video for the track “24k Rap” off of Dilla’s latest release Jay Stay Paid. This track is hard as hell, and is definitely one of my favorites on the album. I have to mention that the concept for this video is dope to, and I love the way it is shot. If you haven’t gone out and copped Jay Stay Paid yet, you are dead to me.

Here we have another episode of Black Milk Broadcast. This time Black comes to you live from the infamous Montreux Jazz Festival. He gives you a good look backstage, and you get to see some cameos from Talib Kweli, Daru & AB. About halfway through the video you get to see a live performance of “Sound the Alarm” which is, of course, dope as hell.

Here is some more amazing footage of DJ Day & Exile showing off their masterful MPC work in Belgium from the Dour Festival. As I’ve stated numerous times before, these guys are some of the best in the business at what they do. My question is, why can’t they come to Minneapolis?
