New Music: Kanye West - So Appalled feat. RZA, Jay-Z, Pusha T, Swizz Beatz & Cyhi the Prynce
I mean c'mon, this is pretty much FIYA! I am gonna have to admit, that Jay can pretty much annihilate anyone he wants to on the mic if he puts his mind to it. But why would he bother when he's got waaayyy bigger fish to fry....

Music video: Vampire Weekend - Giving Up The Gun
Starring actor, Jake Gyllenhaal, RZA and Lil Jon! (Er... what?!??) I probably wouldn't have posted this normally as I'm not a big Vampire Weekend fan and think this is song is just OK, but between the ridiculous hip hop cameos, remembering I'd seen it in my RSS reading after posting that Mick Boogie Fashion Week mixtape that also featured VW and being in a bit of a left-field, alternative mood today, I decided, what the hey....

New music: Wu-Tang Meets The Indie Culture Vol. 2: Enter the Dubstep
Er... what?? Let them explain....
"Wu-Tang Meets The Indie Culture Vol. 2: Enter the Dubstep serves a double purpose: many of the pioneers and practitioners (DJ's and producers) in the Dubstep world came up in a time when Wu-Tang ruled the international airwaves. Unlike much commercial hip-hop, the immediacy of Wu-Tang's sound spoke to many outside of the scope of the typical hip-hop fan, across oceans and at home. Their music and style helped to shape an emerging artform that hadn't yet defined itself. Now, in 2009, as dubstep continues to grow, expand and encompass more styles and subgenres, the Wu-Tang sound is reintroduced into the mix, to spawn a new and unique musical crossbreeding, that is greater than the sum of its constituent parts.
This groundbreaking album is trail-blazing the collaboration between Dubstep and Hip-Hop, with stomach-pounding, bass-thumping guttural beats, and gully, gritty and grimy lyrics that break into the next decade in the chapters of each respective genre's history. With Scuba, Parson, Trillbass, Dakimh, DZ, Rogue Star, Stenchman, Datsik & many more producing not remixes, but complex re-interpolations that include a veritable goldmine of Wu-Tang verses from the vaults that feature Raekwon, Ghostface Killa, RZA, GZA, Method Man, U-God & Masta Killa, Wu affiliates Killah Priest, Bronze Nazareth, Prodigal Sunn, Solomon Childs, Son One & more, and guest spots from Busta Rhymes, MF Doom, Pimp C, Three 6 Mafia, Ras Kass, Vast Aire, Canibus, Lord Jamar & many more...."
I was a pretty big Drum N Bass fan back in the day but Dubstep?? I don't believe, you need more people, but check it out and decide for youself....

New mixtape: DJ Concept - Live & Direct: Episode 4
The background:
"DJ Concept has put together a funky collection of instrumentals, rare grooves and soulful smoke-out vibes into a double volume of goodness. W.E.X.E. is an hour-long unwinding of one's soul. Always known to follow his own path, DJ Concept draws another simple blueprint of what goes on in the lounge areas of NYC's best buddah spots. Most of these smoke-filled funk tracks have been sampled by the greats like Pete Rock, Dr. Dre, Rza, DJ Premier and so many more. Grab a pack smokes, a fine strong drink, a beautiful girl and sit back and see if you can figure out who sampled what."
