Passing The Torch


Good Day everyone. I am the new kid on the block, don’t worry it’s not Donnie Wahlberg, I don’t think this guy is not too strapped for cash yet. I won’t introduce myself because it’s a waste of time. Let just say a little birdie told me to fill in his spot while he tries to find enlightenment or some mumbo jumbo shit. Anyways let’s get to it then.



This song reminds me of the better days when getting high and getting down was on my mind 24/7. But as we all grow up classics like these never die off. Now if you don’t know Devin the Dude then stop reading this shit and start fucking downloading everything off this guy. Considered mostly as an underground rapper, (fuck the mainstream shit anyways) he got recognized by his unique flow over some sweet baby jesus beats. Now this beat stems from back when he was in the group called Odd Squad under the Rap-A-Lot records. The squad is made out of Devin with his stanky weed lyrics and flow, another rapper called Jugg Mugg and some crazy ass blind producer/rapper named Rob Quest. This song is perfect when kicking back and enjoying some good herbs because biiiiiiiiiiiitch what are you smoking?



As it’s fucking nice, warm and sunny I just had to post this shit. Cee-Roo is some sick producer out of Switzerland, who does a good job remixing old classics varying from Hip hop, Jazz and Soul. Definitely check this guy out on his Soundcloud or Myspace. He is on his 5th mixtape and his shit is getting on point. Everyone can find something to like in there. Heck if you can pull off remixing some Beatles especially a classic like "A Day In The Life," then in my book you got something good going on so keep on doing it.



As you may have known, AtV transcends from a bunch of party animals and treesmokers so, this next one is straight in line with this way of life. Zeds Dead, who’s talent was introduced to me by Avenge the Virgins own MDMawesome, are making some fucking hard dubstep. If you don’t know who they are, but are looking to explode your sub in your car then this shit has to be on the top of your list. Bad to the bone baselines and some good old classic samples from known artist like Sublime and the Rolling Stones. It’s really hard not to give it a try. Newcomers to the whole dubstep might like the easier Blue Foundation melody, but let me tell you this; it keeps getting more progressive and harder from there on out.



To finish off, since you don’t know me and I can do whatever I want. I’m taking this straight out of the Snatch soundtrack and dumping it on to your ears. If you’re feeling Spanish tonight then this will get you playing the maracas faster than you can say: "Puedo acer un trompetillas con tus boobes."


Before I go, good song, crazy Nintendo course with people flipping and shit. Maaaaaaaaan get out there and do something.


Time to pass it back to the real music savants. I am out of here yall.

Laid Back Sunday : Xmas


This marvelous time of the year has arrived. No, I'm not talking about Christmas. ah ! Its the final edition of Laid Back Sunday 2010; the big rap up of everything that has been posted in the last 15 weeks of this "hip hop" segment.
Sure Christmas is nice too, but music is better ! (Big statement right here).

Anyway since you probably have something better to do during your holiday than reading my crap, I'm dropping a shitload of songs and leaving you with a ZIP file combining all the songs shared during the past weeks.

A bit of everything, randomness to the core.

Laid Back Sunday #15


Credits to Peter Nowacki for the illustration

Sorry for the late post, shit happens. Oh, and if you happen to have witnessed Philadelphia's Eagles performance today against the NY Giants, damn it was great.

Living Legends - After Hours (Extended Euro Mix)
1st beat by Living Legends crew which has been featured in one of my old post. This song right here is the definition of a Laid Back Sunday. Mad groovy.

K. Sparks - Mind Elevation (feat. Cymarshall Law)
K. Sparks from Jamaica Queens NYC really delivers a nice beat featuring emcee Cymarshall Law. Far from being a typical hiphop beat, this one is an energetic track with a reggae twist.

Slim Thug - Bitch I'm Back featuring Devin The Dude (Prod. by Dr Dre)
This one is an old leaked track that was first rumored as being a future hit on the upcoming (I hope) Dr. Dre Detox album. Probably not gonna happen. Still a nice track. As mentioned in an earlier post by my friend MDMAwesome, Devin The Dude really is the right guy to chill you down.

See you next week with a special and last Laid Back Sunday of year 2010. As I said in last week's post, I will rap-up a ZIP file with all the tracks that have been shared in the past 15 laid back Sundays.

See you next time,

late night fright


Why, hello.

There's a little something for everyone this evening. I'm finishing up the OFWGKTA feature on Wednesday, so keep your eyes peeled and your trigger finger on the refresh button.

For all those that are still up at this hour, here is your reward.

Gyptian- I can feel your pain

Gyptian is the absolute master of reggae love tunes. Nobody really writes hooks like this guy, and the fact that he's had such a huge success with Hold Yuh this summer is totally awesome. I've been a huge fan for years, so it's great to see him getting the attention he deserves. Gyptian makes some of the best baby-making music out there. Try it out. Trust me.

Devin the Dude- Lacville 79

Nobody writes lazy stoner anthems like my boy Devin the Dude. He seems like one of the most humble and laid-back MCs in the game. If you're havin a bad day and are stressed, go ahead and bump some Devin the Dude. I guarantee you'll chill out instantly.

I'm rollin, car not stolen
Probably never will be, it's much too olden
Smokin weed and feelin' fine
in my lacville '79


Bon Iver- For Emma

Great proper acoustic indie folk. For Emma, Forever Ago, the album that this is taken from, is one of the greatest folk albums released in the past 5 years (It was self-released in 2007). Justin Vernon wrote/played all of the songs and instruments for this album, cooped up in a countryside cabin for 3 months in the winter, and the result is/was a masterpiece. Plus, he must be doing something right, because Kanye enlisted his help on a few tracks on his latest opus.

Mumbai Science- Ancova

THIS TAPE WILL SELF DESTRUCT IN 5 SECONDS.

This is a relatively old tune, but a banger nonetheless. Mumbai Science are solid, always delivering great remixes and originals .

Sexion D'Assaut- Désolé

I might catch flak for this one hahaha. I discovered this song a few days ago, and I've been listening to it quite a bit since. I'm not really familiar with french rap, and from what I understand, this stuff is of the mainstream variety, but the hook got me. Catchy beat, simplistic lyrics, and a memorable refrain. The video is not too shabby either. Cal hooks you up with a bloody metric ton of amazing hip-hop per week, so I figured a bit of mainstream silliness wouldn't hurt.



Magnetic Man & Katy B- Perfect Stranger

Sultry female voice + Dubstep = Automatic win, in my books. Nuff said.



nighty night, all.
