New music: Saukrates - Wednesday
And we keep the Tdot-orientated vibes going with this pure hip hop banger. This one may confuse you if Young Money and Waka Flocka Flame are the epitome of hip hop to you. Here's the plug from the homie, Keezy :
"Fresh off their last collabo, "Hot Like The Summer", Saukrates and Tone Mason (the production team behind the much-talked about forthcoming Drake & Jay-Z collabo, "Light Up") team up again for another banger! Look out for Saukrates' long-awaited sophomore LP, Season One, real soon (the hype reel for it is above)."

Music video: k-os feat. Saukrates - "I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman"
K-os is one of my favorite artists nowadays. Dude has always kind of been ahead of his time in terms of making 'post-hip hop' hip hop for want of a better term to describe his music.
Video directed by X, YES album in stores now in Canada and now the US too as of last week!

No joke, this dude should be as big in the mainstream world as Black Eyed Peas, his pop instincts and songwriting skills are impeccable.

Thursday Bits N Pieces
Guess who? It's Swizzy, B-tches!!!
And while we're Ruff Ryders-orientated...
New Eve "Fire" sampling White Stripes. That ish is pretty medicore to be honest though.... (zshare mp3 link via the TinMan)
Frank N Dank - "MCA (Music Cemetry of America)" (prod. by J Dilla) - caution: mad rappers at work! B-side from the 2nd single “Nice 2 Meet U” feat. Brick & Lace (prod. Saukrates) off the XTended Play Version 3.13 LP. (be kind, right click and save as | more mp3's here)
Speaking of the D (which is where Frank N Dank are from), download the Pressure mix CD from much-blogged and buzzed about Detroit MC Black Milk here (I know y'all probably got this one already, right?).
Slightly old but still essential: Palms Out Sounds' collection of samples used by Daft Punk.
Recording the Beatles: the book (via Boing Boing)
