"I don't know his name but he aim like Wayne Gretsky..." -Vast Aire
The stars aligned just after the turn of the century, and Vast Aire, Vordul Mega and El-Producto put out one of the dopest records of all time, namely The Cold Veinby Cannibal Ox...
"This for the white people. All'a my white people. The 'never heard of DeLaSoul in your life' people" -Heath McNease
I spent the last half of 2012 soaking in the Wed White and Wu mixtape Heath recorded with Playdough, and concluded from the lyrics that Heath was a basketball player, probably a point guard. From the look of his new video Skibbidy Bibbidy (f/ Heir Jordan) the single off his new Jesus Shuttlesworth Mixtape, I'm thinking he might be a shooting guard...
Headkrack + Money Stax = KRACKMONEY #downloadThis
Headkrack and Money Stax are both from the east coast (New York and Jersey respectively), but they both live in and rep Dallas, so I'm CLAIMIN' 'em in the black people draft or whatever. Anyways, they dropped this collabo track Standby (produced by Lexzyne), under the inevitably awesome moniker KrackMoney!
You had ME at @AWKWORDrap and @marQspekt...
I was fortunate to be procrastinating on Twitter yesterday when Awkword shared this track Before Before. I like Awkword, who always comes with thought-provoking subject matter in his music, but when I saw the track featured that dude Marq Spekt, it was a no-brainer to peep it. Good thing, too. Cause it's freaking DOPE!
"And it's only 10% in the hood with health benefits. Genocide, Jena 6, Guilty 'til we innocent..." -Black Thought
That dude Goldi Gold shared this joint Cause I'm Black (f/Black Thought) off Styles P's 2007 record Super Gangster (Extraordinary Gentleman) on Facebook today. Both Styles and Tariq go hard on this one...
Valkyrie + Misty Knight = FEARLESS DEFENDERS!
Fearless Defenders Poster NowI guess Marvel finally noticed that I wasn't buying any of their books, and Fearless Defenders #1 is their way of saying they want me back... That's sweet.
PREVIEW- Eartha Kitt: Femme Fatale #1
It seems like an odd choice to make an all ages superhero comic starring the late Eartha
Kitt as a masked action hero, but once I got a look at this preview of Eartha Kitt: Femme Fatale #1, and knowing
her family is cool with it, I was cool with it too...
