The guys at The Sunday Show are getting pretty close to wrapping up their first season of your favorite podcast about nothing in particular. The guys will run episode 12 (which will be the last of the season) and then they will be taking a little hiatus before season two premieres. According to the website, episode eleven was supposed to be dedicated to traveling tips and vacations but the guys got a little sidetracked. This episode is purely for entertainment purposes only.

Jay Electronica Brings You the “Dear Moleskine” Trailer

Posted in Media, Video with tags , on Monday, July 27, 2009 by Tim Althaus

This video is by far the definition of epic (thank you 2DopeBoyz). Jay Electronica released the trailer to his newest track which is produced by Just Blaze. The first minute and thirty seconds is strictly beautiful instrumentals by Just Blaze, and then Jay goes in real hard with some nice rhymes. I have been waiting on a full length from Jay since the minute I heard him, I am still on the edge of my seat every time I hear a new track. I can assure you that when the full length comes out it will be up at Mind Inversion.

Grouch, Eligh & Slug Make That Shit Go “!BOOM!”

Posted in Media, Video with tags , , , , on Monday, July 27, 2009 by Tim Althaus

Here is the newest video from Grouch & Eligh for the track “!BOOM!” off of their latest effort Say G&E. The track is dope as hell, and it features Atmosphere frontman Sean Daley. From what I have heard of Say G&E, it is definitely a good outing by Grouch & Eligh with some great West Coast flavor. If you haven’t check out the album yet, make sure you do.

Joe Budden, Escape Route (Album Snippets x Artwork)

This is another one that dropped on the weekend that I didn’t get to. Joe Budden will be dropping his digital only EP next Tuesday on AmalgamDigital. This is different than the Slaughterhouse snippets, seeing as it’s recorded on Joe Budden TV and it features some live commentary and what not. You should still be able to get a pretty good idea of what Joey has in store for us.

Details Surrounding Brother Ali’s Us are Revealed

Posted in Concert Dates, Music News with tags , , , , , on Monday, July 27, 2009 by Tim Althaus

brotherali1Brother Ali already released the critically acclaimed Truth Is Here EP this year, and now he is gearing up to release his full length Us which is due out this fall. Ali isn’t usually known for large amounts of guest appearances on his albums, but on this outting we will see more than we usually do. Joining him on the mic will be Chuck D, Freeway, Joell Ortiz & Stokely Williams. There is no word yet on the production for the album, but knowing Ali’s traditional formula I’m guessing Ant will have a huge role in this one. Those 2 have never made a miss, always hits but I wouldn’t mind seeing Jake One adding some of his pristine production to the bill.

Brother Ali is touring with Evidence & Toki Wright this fall in support of the new album, as well as Evidence’s new album Cats & Dogs. You can follow me after the jump for the tour dates. Continue reading →

The two guys that brought you the amazing track “Travellin Man” are back at it again with some new hotness for the people. The new track is called “Magnetic Arts” and it will be featured on DJ Honda’s new album IV. DJ Honda lays down a beautiful soul laced beat, and Mos puts down some serious flow to this one. You can get IV when it drops on August 5th.

Talib Kweli Drops Some Knowledge On Ruby Hornet

Posted in Media, Video with tags , , , , , , on Monday, July 27, 2009 by Tim Althaus

Vodpod videos no longer available.

The one and only Talib Kweli recently was in Chicago, and DJ RTC from Ruby Hornet TV had the chance to interview him about a variety of things. Talib talks about where he is at this point of his career and how he has gotten to the point where he is happy with his following. Talib and DJ RTC talk about The Beautiful Struggle a little bit, and they discuss how Talib was able to go on tour with The Beastie Boys, as well as the backlash from fans about the album. A good area that Talib touches on is Twitter and how he feels that he is able to convey something he feels strongly about to the people that follow him. As you can expect, Black Star is definitely mentioned in the interview. Talib also discusses what it’s like to be working with Hi-Tek again.

Make sure you check this one, Talib is one of the best that is doing it, as well as one of the best that’s ever done it. The video is a little long, clocking in at just under eleven minutes, but if you are a huge Kweli fan like me you will probably watch it. It’s always great to hear Kweli dropping some knowledge to the masses.

Joe Budden Offers “No Comment”

Posted in News with tags , , on Monday, July 27, 2009 by Tim Althaus

Joe Budden

Here is a new track from the straight jacket phenom, Joe Budden. If you didn’t peep the Padded Room review please make sure you do that, it’s a great album. This joint is called “No Comment”, and if you really listen to this track you can tell that it’s aimed at someone. Joey is one of those cats that spits some potent ass bars just about every time he manhandles the microphone. The only thing that this track makes me think, is that some serious shit might go down…

New Jay-Z single – “Run This Town” (feat. Kanye West and Rihanna)

Posted in News with tags , , , on Saturday, July 25, 2009 by Nolan Levenson

This is the new single of Jay-Z’s The Blueprint 3 called “Run This Town”. It features Rihanna and Kanye. The beat is good, but the verses from Jay and Ye are a little weak. Overall the track gets kind of boring, it’s not really a new sound. The album is due out September 11th and I’m hoping it will be great.

Found this one on Okayplayer.

You can download it here.
