start the day off Right w/Curren$y, Mos Def, & Jay Electronica

This song The Day by Curren$y (featuring Jay Electronica and the mighty Mos Def) isn't new, but it is extremely dope.  I never heard it before, but my dude Khalid posted it on Facebook yesterday, and I thought it would be a good song for the early risers...

Man, my 2 year old daughter LOVES this song Yelling Away by Zap Mama w/Kweli and Common... I noticed her singing along (in broken toddler babble) recently in her baby seat...

Start the day off Right w/the immortal J Dilla

nothing beats some good music on a Sunday morning to get the creative juices flowing. Case in Point: Here's a fly portrait of legendary hip hop maestro, the late, great J. Dilla by the mighty Chris Herod.
"Listening to the brilliant Miguel Atwood-Ferguson Suite for Ma Dukes inspired this Dilla piece..." said Herod when he dropped this fly joint on Facebook. Mochilla Presents Timeless: Suite For Ma Dukes is a recording of a 60 piece orchestra interpreting some of Dilla's best compositions, and represents hip hop mood music at it's finest!

I got up early this morning try'na bang out some comics... drawing mad backgrounds got me sluggish, so I need some serious horns and cats hollerin' to keep me in the right state of mind, nah mean?! enter the mighty Mos Def, Prefuse 73 and Diverse on that Wylin' Out (RJD2 Remix)! man, that's better than caffeine!

Ski Beatz is taking you to SCHOOL!

I'm just about as excited as possible about the upcoming Ski Beatz mixtape 24 Hour Karate School... as much as I've been about any record in a while. You may have already heard this track, but yo, it's got Jean Grae, Mos Def, Jay Electronica, and Joell Ortiz on it... Listen to it again!

Mos Def + Max Tannone = FIYAH!!! #downloadThis

WHOA! Just copped this off'a RappersIknow... this is just what the doctor ordered! the mighty Mos Def on some fresh Dub samples? Dante never sounded so good...

Smart Rappin' Makes me HAPPY!

I almost went ballistic from a stupid Twitter comment, a good sign my "dumb people tolerance" levels are getting low. there are many things that can help, chief among them is listening to clever rappin'... For me, Talib Kweli posse cuts are like a fast-acting inhaler to an asthmatic! Today's prescription: Gureilla Monsoon Rap featuring Black Thought and the mighty Pharoahe Monch, from Kweli's first solo album, Quality.  *aaaaaaaaaaaah* that's better! the day is saved!
