Childish Gambino – “STN MTN” (Mixtape)
October 3, 2014
A list of dreams that ends with “strippers would get their birthday off” and “I’d have my own Gangsta Grillz mixtape” is an ATL bucket list like a mugg! Not to mention a dope way to start a FREE mixtape called “STN MTN” (before going in over that “Throw Them ‘Bows” beat)! Pretty damn dope. Childish Gambino with the score for this one.

Taken 3 (Trailer)
October 3, 2014
A third “Taken” movie (in theaters January 9, 2015)? Um… okay. As long as it’s good. If it’s good, why not go back to the well for another sip? Looks good.
Liam Neeson returns as ex-covert operative Bryan Mills, whose reconciliation with his ex-wife is tragically cut short when she is brutally murdered. Consumed with rage, and framed for the crime, he goes on the run to evade the relentless pursuit of the CIA, FBI and the police. For one last time, Mills must use his “particular set of skills,†to track down the real killers, exact his unique brand of justice, and protect the only thing that matters to him now – his daughter.
Uh ohhh. This time… they killed wifey??? Coming after baby girl??? Lots of bad guys… are going… TO DIE! Well, Forest Whitaker is going to try to stop him. Ha! GOOD LUCK!

Rah Digga – “Angela Davis” (Produced By J-Pilot)
October 2, 2014
“Angela Davis” is the newness from Rah Digga rawwww! Cosign snip at the end by The Teacha KRS-ONE.
Y’all worry ’bout your stylist. Worry ’bout your talents… when did lyricism escape us?
– Rah Digga

Kev Brown x Hassaan Mackey – “Dope” / “Hassaan Be Rappin” (Video)
October 2, 2014
Man, whatchu know about a Kev Brown / Hassaan Mackey (DC / NY) combo punch?! Doing visuals for a combo release (“Dope” and “Hassaan Be Rappin”) in promotion of “That Grit” – the duo’s forthcoming LP.
Entirely produced by Kev Brown and featuring his signature bassline-driven and raw, but soulful sound, “That Grit” consists of an intro, eight full-length tracks and six instrumentals. Hassaan and Kev share mic duties on most of the songs, inviting close friends/frequent collaborators Kaimbr, Toine, yU, Kenn Starr, Eye-Q, Asheru (of Unspoken Heard) as well as the Younger Soul Brother Grap Luva along as feature guests, turning the record into a true family affair.
Give it a play. You’ll like.

20 Years A Yankee: A Farewell To Derek Jeter (Narrated By Black Thought Of The Roots) [Video]
October 2, 2014
Know anything about baseball? If so (or even if you don’t), you are probably very aware – and at least a bit melancholy – about the last trip around the diamond of New York Yankees’ Derek Jeter. Yep, the cap is calling it quits. But not before EVERYBODY (including the U.S. President) wishes him a bon voyage. The future hall-of-famer has spent all his 20 years as a pro in Yankee blue and white; so you can understand how, for even the most jaded New Yorker, it’s so haaarrrd say goodbyyyye to the team’s all-time hit leader.
But Black Thought and The Roots have got something (a song far better than the ‘attempt’ above; guaranteed). The group calls up a 2009 single – “The Fire†– for the heartfelt fare-thee-well. Rock out with your tissues out.
(If the clip above doesn’t get you, the one after the jump will.)

Party, Party, Party. Let’s All Get WASTED! In Ibiza, It’s What You Do (Video)
October 2, 2014
Summers in Ibiza is a lifestyle, not a season.
Ibiza. Whether the name means sun-kissed days and party-filled nights, or paradise lost, to you, this Mediterranean Island is where hedonistic dreams can come true. But what is it about the tiny island? Clive Martin, reporting for VICE, takes us about to find out – studying the DJs, crazy club-dancers, puking kids on vacation, all manner of party carnage and more.
Damn look at the wild sexy honeyz though! No doubt. It’s good. But it can (and does) get bad and ugly. Watch.
