The Down South NORE & more....
This has nothing to do with any post below, I just like the cover
A few random things I've come across in the past few days since getting back into town:
Deep Throat - the soundtrack
Boombastic Radio - latin and related sounds for those who want a change from their regular diet of hip hop. (via Les C)
Black Sheep online - Dres and Mista Lawnge are back and actually sound pretty good! An unexpected but welcome return.
Never Blend In - good to see Tego getting down with the Hen-rock in the same campaign for Hennessy that has previously featured Rakim Allah and Pam Grier. Big up reggaeton.
Speaking of which: DJ's, don't sleep - Pitbull's album is kind of fire. I wish TVT had sent me some wax and not just a CD though because this joint is almost top to bottom dirty south, reggaeton-inspired and latin-flavored club bangers. I'm late on this one but think a down south (early solo period) version of NORE for those not knowing.
Also peep: the Pitbull Vinyl Giveaway | E-card | online album player
SingingFish - Google for mp3 audio and video.
Dabrye "Game Over" - the best track Slum Village never made?
Praises be - Outkast plan to get back to some real hip hop. (nobodysmiling.com)
Kutmasta Kurt's Redneck
Chief Kamachi = (Akinyele + Busta Rhymes + Freddie Foxxx)/3? I don't know anything about this cat but his Cult Status album is kind of hot too. Shout to Milo (the East. Conf. one who co-released this album, not the blog dude) plus I think Sage Francis did some of the beats. Also features Guru & Mr. Eon of High & Mighty. Good lookin' to my man Frank at Caroline for the hook-up yet again.
