I am actually on vacation in lovely and sunny Florida right now. You may have noticed that I didn’t put up a review for Wildstyle Wednesday yesterday. I most likely won’t be doing any additional posting until Tuesday when I come home. I would like to leave you with some news that has come up the last few days for you to enjoy.

Revival EP

Here is the first leak off of Royce’s new EP The Revival which drops on July 7th. The track is produced by Emile (which may I mind you is fire), and of course you can expect Royce to be going off like a Tommy Gun. Thanks to 2DopeBoyz for the world premier leak. Make sure you watch out for the EPs from all of the cats from Slaughterhouse, they are coming very soon.

Here is the latest leak off of Alchemist’s upcoming album, Chemical Warfare. On this track he brings along Gangrene collaborator Oh No, Roc C & West Coast King Crooked I. This is a damn good track, and by the leak that we heard before (“Smile“) you can tell that ALC is bringing the heat when it comes to the beats on this album. I have noticed on every track as of late to that his words are getting pretty nasty as well. Follow me after the jump for the download and make sure you go to your local record store and grab Chemical Warfare on July 7th. Continue reading

The Sunday Show, Episode 9 “The Golf Episode”

Vodpod videos no longer available.
This week’s episode of your favorite podcast about nothing in particular is about golf. To be honest, I think golf is a great sport and I truly wish I played more so I could get better at it, I just don’t seem to have the time or patience anymore. The guys shot this episode up north (as well as episode 10) and it looks like a great place to chill out and have a good time. This is the type of crew that I can see myself golfing with, they like to have a good time and have a few drunks while hitting the links. It looks like they had a lot of fun, and if Officer Barbrady was there I wouldn’t be surprised if he would be having a field day (due to all of the shenanigans). It looks like Timberstone & Oak Crest are nice places to golf if you get the chance and are an avid golfer.

Jay-Z Makes Sure Auto Tune is Dead, “D.O.A. (Death of Autotune)”

Last week you guys heard Royce going hard as hell over this beat. Thanks to 2DopeBoyz, this week you finally get to see Hov’s official video for this track. I actually hadn’t heard the Jay-Z version of this track up until this point, but holy shit Jigga absolutely demolishes this nice beat by No I.D. The Blueprint 3 drops on September 11th, so make sure you go out and show your support for some real Hip-Hop. A lot of heads have been talking about this new Jay-Z album, so I can honestly say that I have my hopes up seeing as I’m a huge fan and all. Follow me after the jump for a live video of Jay-Z performing the track at the BET Awards, and the track download. Continue reading

Crown Royale, “Get It Up”

Posted in Media, Video with tags , , , on Monday, June 29, 2009 by Tim Althaus

Last week I posted the Hip Hop Official artist of the week video for these guys. Here is a video of Buff1 & Rhettmatic performing the track, “Get It Up”, that is going to be on their upcoming album. As usual, Buff tears the mic apart and Rhett lays down a nasty hard hitting beat. I can assure you that this project is going to be nuts.

The Sunday Show, Episode 8 “Back to Our Roots”

Here we have episode 8 of your favorite podcast about nothing in particular, “Back to Our Roots”. This episode features Nic & Chad (and of course Union Dan) recapping interesting stories and events (much like the 1st episode, hence the name). For all of you iTunes users, you can now also download each episode of The Sunday Show on iTunes as well. As usual Chad & Nic give you a rundown of what they are currently drinking (the “not so pale ale” sounds delicious) (on a separate note, I highly suggest you try some of these beers, I’ve had the pleasure of trying a few and they have been great), and jump into the news bits.

Apparently there has been trace amounts of cocaine found in Red Bull (no fucking way…) and it has been banned in a few coutries, but as the guys point out it’s really not a whole lot. I think I am going to try what Chad is talking about with drinking a few ice colds in a hot shower sometime, I can see that starting off a night really well. Nic mentioned that Hulu is going to have an app for TV viewing. On another side note, I love Hulu and if you don’t know about it, I would highly suggest that you check it out. But the app will allow users to install an application onto their desktop and it will team with the media center on your computer to bring you everything you need. As Nic mentions, this truly is an epic thing. For some people, they may never need cable television ever again. Make sure you check this episode out guys, a lot of valuable information with great opinions here. The story on the kid in the mortuary is just ridiculousness folks.

Hey guys, sorry it’s been a while since we’ve heard from the guys over at The Sunday Show. I hadn’t realized that they got a new domain which you can all go to here. Episode 7 of your favorite podcast about nothing in particular is about wine tasting. This episode was shot at Blatz Market & Liquor (which you may recall from episode 3) and these guys delve into a few different wine selections (2 whites, 2 reds). If you are a fan of wine, or alcohol in particular (much like myself) there is a lot of factual information that you can learn here. Notice Emiko & Nic’s scale of rating (so precise), I love it.

Wildstyle Wednesday Review: Brother Ali, Shadows On The Sun

Posted in Music Reviews, Wildstyle Wednesdays with tags , , , , on Wednesday, June 24, 2009 by Tim Althaus

Shadows_on_the_SunRhymesayers has been a stamp in Midwest Hip-Hop for as long as I remember. They also have their fair share of classics, but I’m almost positive that Brother Ali’s Shadows On The Sun is still the best album from their catalog to date. Brother Ali leaves the microphone murderously massacred on every single track on this album, and Ant’s production is nothing short of superbly stellar. I am a fan of everything that Ali has put out, but I really don’t think that any other album stands up to this one. There are so many different feels on this album, one track Ali will be spitting furiously, and the next track he’ll be having fun. If this album makes one thing clear, it’s that Brother Ali loves Hip-Hop, and Hip-Hop loves Brother Ali. Continue reading

Buff1 & DJ Rhettmatic are Crown Royale

Posted in Music News, Video with tags , , on Wednesday, June 24, 2009 by Tim Althaus

By the sounds of this video, these two cats are going to be doing some huge things. Crown Royale (Buff1 + Rhettmatic) is Hip Hop Official‘s newest artist of the week. I personally had no idea that these guys were going to be doing a project together. Rhett was on Buff’s last album but I didn’t know they were going to be making an album. When you mix one of the best DJs in the world and an amazing yet versatile emcee you are going to have one hell of a duo. Check out the video and make sure you stay tuned to more news on Crown Royale.
