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 “!!!

Classic Clips: Happy Bornday Nina Simone! (February 21,1933)
February 21, 2012
This is one of my many favorites from the one of the greatest jazz musician/songwriters, who was the embodiment of “Black is Beautiful”, Nina Simone (February 21,1933-April 21,2003). Although she wasnt traditional jazz, nor did she have the tradional smooth jazz/lounge voice like Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington,or Ella Fitzgerald but check the linear notes of any of your favorite hip hop albums and you will see her joints credited for samples everywhere. Heads knew muscially Nina Simone would “Put a Spell on You”.

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….

My homie Maurice Garland put me up on one of the artists in this video by the name of L.G. who is spittin’ like a young Nas & he’s not even out of high school yet.
