New Brother Ali single!

Posted in Audio, Downloads, Media, Music News, News with tags , , , , on Monday, August 17, 2009 by Nolan Levenson

Above you can listen to Brother Ali’s new track “Fresh Air” which was released today digitally. I gotta say, this may be the best hip hop track I’ve heard all year. The beat is simply amazing (although I am a HUGE Ant fan so I’m a little biased). I heard this track live at Soundset and then again at One Day in July in downtown Minneapolis and have been waiting to get this track for a while now. This track is getting me more PUMPED for Ali’s Us due out September 22nd. Make sure you catch Ali with Evidence and Toki Wright on tour this fall.

Purchase it here on itunes

Jay Electronica Live From Atlanta

Posted in Media, Video with tags , , on Sunday, August 16, 2009 by Tim Althaus

Here is some footage of the phenom, Jay Electronica, performing live at the Tabernacle in Atlanta. In the video is a live performance of the track “Dimelthyltryptamine”, in which half contains a beat and the rest is acapella. I have to say this again, I’m extremely pissed I couldn’t make the Jay/MosDef show in Minneapolis.

DJ Premier Talks Slaughterhouse & Gang Starr

Premo is easily one of the greatest producers in the history of the game. As many would say, if he co-signs it you know it’s straight fire. In his interview with As The World Spins, he tells us (which I am highly grateful to hear) that Royce’s album Street Hop will be hitting the streets on October 11th, and that there isn’t a Premo beat on the Slaughterhouse album because he was mixing Street Hop. DJ Premier also mentions that he is down to do a new Gang Starr album as soon as Guru is ready, because he loves the chemistry that they have together. It’s also great to hear Premier talk about what he would consider “real Hip-Hop”, he couldn’t be more right.

Felt 3 producer revealed + free track!

Posted in Audio, Downloads, Music News, News with tags , , , , on Saturday, August 15, 2009 by Nolan Levenson

And the winnner is……Aesop Rock! That’s right, Aesop Rock will be producing the new Felt album, the tribute still TBA. Rhymesayers released a track yesterday evening for FREE called “Protaganists” with MURS proclaiming “The Felt boys are back, the boys of summer / and this time ya boy Aes Rock is the drummer”.

I was excited to hear the track, but I am a little disappointed with the Aesop Rock selection. While he is a capable producer, I thought RSE and Felt would be pulling something crazier and less expected. Regardless, the track is pretty good, you can download it below or visit the RSE website.

Evidence & Alchemist Perform “Letyourselfgo” @ Rock the Bells

Thank you to Shake over at 2DopeBoyz. This is just some raw footage of one of my favorite emcees and one of my favorite producers. News about Evidence never seems to get old to me, and it seems like Cats & Dogs is right around the corner. I haven’t been able to put Alchemist’s Chemical Warfare down for the last two weeks, it just keeps getting better after every listen. Make sure you guys watch out for the Step Brothers album coming out next year as well.

*Side Note: “Letyourselfgo” is one of my favorite tracks off of The Weatherman LP

Just got a facebook update about the new video from Pacewon and Mr. Green for their track “She Can Be So Cold” off of last year’s The Only Color that Matters Is Green (which I would HIGHLY recommend).

Black Moon – A Tribute to the Classics live

Posted in Video with tags , , , , on Friday, August 14, 2009 by Nolan Levenson

Black Moon and Smif ‘n’ Wessun have lately been pretty big on performing their  classic albums Enta Da Stage and Dah Shinin’, respectively, in their entirety. This video, via 2dopeboyz, has a chunk of Black Moon’s set performing live in Brooklyn for another free show (ugh, I can’t believe I missed this, I just got back to NY). It’s super weird to hear the beats with a live band since I’m so used to letting those Beatminerz beats bang, but still good nonetheless.
