Talk about an amazing group. The Foreign Exchange has been one of my favorite groups over the past few years, and it’s because not many people mesh as well as Phonte & Nicolay. I had given the album Leave it all Behind some rough comments, but since then I have learned to love the album a great deal. The video for “House of Cards” (Feat. Muhsinah) is nothing short of incredible, everything is pristine from the production to the concept. It just might be up there with “House of Flying Daggers” for one of the top videos of the year.

New: One Be Lo, “PIGS” (Feat. Mike Posner)
Posted in Audio, Downloads with tags Michigan, Mike Posner, One Be Lo, S.O.N.O.G.R.A.M., The R.E.B.I.R.T.H. on Friday, August 28, 2009 by Tim Althaus
If you are reading this asking yourself, “Who is One Be Lo”?, you should feel more than ashamed. One Be Lo is one of the sickest emcees to ever come out of the Midwest, and it’s no surprise that he’s from Michigan. If you haven’t heard anything from this man you need to go get S.O.N.O.G.R.A.M. & The R.E.B.I.R.T.H. right now. I’m absolutely loving this track, it contains a nice hard hitting beat full of synthesizers and a hook courtesy of Mike Posner. If you are familiar with One Be Lo, you know that the rhymes rifled off on this track are going to be superior to most everything you will hear. Listen to One Be Lo talk about your favorite “Boys in Blue” with vivid details that he is only capable of. Don’t sleep any longer.

DJ Khalil Runs Us Through The Making of “Kind of a Big Deal”
Posted in Media, Video with tags Clipse, DJ Khalil, Kind of a Big Deal, Production on Friday, August 28, 2009 by Tim AlthausIf you’ve been sleeping under a rock, it would make sense that you have no idea who DJ Khalil is. This guy have been making some of the craziest beats in the Hip-Hop game for the last few years. In this video with Hip Hop Official, Khalil takes us through the process that was implemented while making the Clipse track, “Kind of a Big Deal“. I love the fact that there are absolutely no samples in this track, don’t get me wrong I love sampling but I think it’s much cooler when producers chop live instrumentation. Everything in this video makes me have a greater appreciation for Kahlil’s talent, and this beat in general. (Side Note* I love how they play the beat for Evidence, “All Said & Done” in the video)
Jay Electronica Performs “Google Eyes” Live
Posted in Media, Video with tags Google Eyes, Jay Electronica on Friday, August 28, 2009 by Tim AlthausHere is some more live of the phenom, Jay Electronica, performing some live shit. In this video (that comes to us courtesy of Nah Right) he performs the track “Google Eyes”, which I’m pretty sure I haven’t had the pleasure of hearing. I don’t know how many times I have to say it, but damnit, I want that Jay Electronica full length like now. And for the umpteenth time, why the hell did I miss this show?
