February 21, 2012
Atlanta native & Carolina Panthers starting Quarterback Cam Newton & dope producer & instrumentalist AraabMuzik link up with Under Armour for this new add that just hit the web. The video tries to convey that “Killer Cam” owns the club & ill producer AraabMuzik is his official DJ. But this “Club” wasn’t one of your average ATLNightSpots, but it’s the arena in which he plays transforming into “SuperCam” every Sunday during the NFL season.

Yasiin Bey – N*ggas In Poorest (Video)
February 21, 2012
I like Mos Def Yasiin Bey’s version of Kanye & Jay’s “N*ggas In Paris” song quite possibly because one of my favorite artists not only displays his superior skills but he’s really saying something meaningful. Check out this new video for the mixtape track from the artist formerly known as Mos Def created by Yasiin Bey himself, Set Free and Andre Cole for Fellowship Mission. Dopeness!

Jneiro Jarel x MF Doom are: JJ Doom – “Banished”
February 21, 2012
The Metal Face Villain and Philly producer Jneiro Jarel are teaming up as JJ DOOM (probaly could have come up with a better name but hey) for a project to be called “Keys to the Kuffs”.As to how Jnerio also known as Dr.WhoDat? got Doom to complete a project is a mystery,becuase we have still been watiting on rumored MF Doom collab projects for YEARS like Doom and Ghostface Killah, Madvillainy 2, Doom and Masta Ace, Doom and insert name here.It will be interesting to see what this project is going to sound like sonically with the pair being on the oppiste side of the spectrum musicailly. Doom is abstract with a very gritty sound and the eclectic Jarel is very polished. The common denominator is both are dope, which should make for a quality project.No release date is known as of yet but hopefully we hear something official soon.Enjoy

Ski Beatz feat. C Plus – “Heaven Is” (Video)
February 21, 2012
This is the 4th video single from kung fu beat sensei Ski Beatz off his 24 Hour Karate School Presents:Twilight. This is a jazzy joint with newcomer C Plus letting you know what “Heaven Is” to him over melodic horns and smooth bass lines. Ski Beatz shows why he has been one of the most consistent (and one of the most slept on) producers in hip hop over the last 15 years. Make sure you cop this joint and keep it in heavy rotation. New producers take note, get in the dojo, and in the words of Dragonfly Jones and “practice on ya art “!!!

MTV Names Their Hottest Rappers In The Game For 2012 (Video)
February 20, 2012
I labeled this as “MTV’s Hottest Emcees Rappers In The Game” because not everyone on this list is an “emcee”….some are just rappers or singers. Either way it is what it is…Rap lists these days don’t hold much weight, but if you’re a real hip hop head like myself then you’ll chuckle out loud at some of things said by people on this panel. Ah well…What’d you expect from MTV & the current state of radio & rap music these days…Overall it’s just a reflection of how bad “mainstream” rap music is. There’s plenty of great music out there, but most of it ISN’T on the radio unfortunately. One thing I was surprised about was seeing the homie @BosNaud was on this panel. I haven’t looked at all the vids as of yet so I hope he represented well. Check out links to the discussion on the other candidates on “MTV’s 2012 Hottest Rappers On The Radio Payola” “MTV’s 2012 Hottest Rappers In The Game” list below….

Sadat X – “Fake Out” (Video)
February 19, 2012
Brand new video from Sadat X for “Fake Out” directed by ODC-TV. Doesn’t really look like a crazy high end camera was needed to make this video pop off nice, but what’s really dope is how they incorporated DJ Premier & the turntable skills element into the video. Really dope from a production standpoint, visually, & lyrically….
NY Knicks Jeremy Lin Speaks On His Musical Tastes (Video)
February 19, 2012
New York Knicks sensation Jeremy Lin aka “Super-Lintendo” took a minute with Fuse to speak on his music tastes & artists he’s feeling. Being a devout Christian it shouldn’t be a surprise that his two favorite artists would be grounded in Christianity in some way. After ESPN’s recent controversially racist “Chink In The Armour” headline following the Knicks loss Friday, Jeremy maybe thinking “They need Jesus” & gone ahead & forgive them by sending ESPN writers some music from Christian rapper Lecrae and Christian rock band Hillsong.

Scienze x King I Divine – “Enjoy Tonight.” (Video)
February 18, 2012
I ran into the homie King I Divine at Boog Brown’s birthday party in Atlanta last week & he sent over this song that he & Brooklyn emcee Scienze put together for their collaborative “Divine ScienZe” EP that officially drops March 13th. Already familiar with King I Divine’s production skills I just knew the song would have to be fiyah & I wasn’t surprised when I finally heard the joint. I had to bang the jawn out on my radio show last Saturday night something serious. Right when I’m enjoying the audio the brothas put out a new video at just the right time too. Niiiiiiice!

DJ Premier – Black Fist Friday Mix on Hot 97 NYC (2/17/12)
February 17, 2012
I saw massive amounts of people tweeting about DJ Premier rocking on Hot 97 in NYC at noon for their Black Fist Friday series in celebration of Black History month. At the time I wasn’t in a position to listen in live & as a matter of fact I still haven’t gotten around to fully listening to the mix that Questlove did in honor of J Dilla last week, but I’ll get to that eventually this weekend. After a few hours I noticed DJPremierBlog had it up on Primo’s site as well as MissInfo who works at the station. Had to download it & peep it once I had time like now…. I like how DJ Premier started things off with Jeru Tha Damaja’s underground classic “Frustrated N*gga”. Dopeness…

Colin Munroe – “The Fight Of My Life” featuring Pusha T
February 17, 2012
It’s been a minute since Colin Munroe dropped something where he wasn’t just the featured artist on someone else’s song. I can definitely say I’m a fan of his music & would like to see him eventually get more just deserved fruits of his talent in a greater capacity. Ironically with a song called “The Fight Of My Life” maybe the Canadian singer, songwriter, & all around musician is beginning to turn the tables with Pusha T as the featured on his new joint. Check out a mini very brief behind the scenes video of the the two recording this joint at Capitol studios in Los Angeles after the jump….
