The Calm

As I wait patiently in the calm for this Informations Systems presentation (BEAST MODEEEEEEEE) I figured I would share some links that furthered my procrastination.

EXCLUSIVE: Dubtitled - Dangerous Minds


Here is a Mr. October Exclusive from the Seattle hip-hop group Dubtitled. Dubtitled consists of two rappers, S. Dot and The Urban Myth, and  a producer, Dr. J. According to their MySpace they sound like "knowledge manifested through dope song." 

Day 'n' Nite Remixes



FINALLY the original version gets a video. I was never a fan of the Crookers european garbage. This song was recorded back in '07 and has been floating around in hip-hop purgatory for a while now. Its about time it gets the national attention it deserved. 

Most of you already now about Scott Mescudi so I want to direct your attention below to some popular remixes that have made there rounds through the Blogosphere. There are a bunch but  Jim Jones and Trey Songz versions are probably the best. Shout out to my cousin Chris for bringing these to my attention. 



Ryan Leslie




This guy is nuts: at 15 he enrolled in Harvard and graduated at 19 with a degree in Government and Economics. He's a singer, producer and multi-instrumentalist (meaning he can basically play any instrument). Check out his other studio sessions here and if you like this check out Diamond Girl. His self-titled album, Ryan Leslie, is out right now.

Happy Birthday K Mac



Twenty-two years ago from today the world was blessed with Kevin MacDonald. Words cannot describe how much I miss him. The funny thing about this blog is that Kevin would have probably been the first person to give me shit about it be because we always argued about music. I miss arguing about everything from soccer to kanye west with him, I miss staying up with him until 5 in the morning, I miss seeing him run up on stage and dance during Greek Week, I miss convincing him to come play soccer with us in his basketball shoes, I miss his laugh and his ability to make a whole room light up with his fluorescent shirts and personality to match. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about you and remember some random memory that makes me smile and be grateful for the time we had together. Today is your day K Mac, I love you bro.

Glory Days



Remember when the Glove and the Reign Man took what many consider to be one of the greatest NBA teams of all time to game 6? Hopefully basketball comes back to Seattle, but for the time being we can enjoy watching B Roy do work in Rip City and  watch Clay Bennett's Durantulas (and not the Sonics) sit comfortably at the bottom of their conference.

Emo is Dead


This t-shirt is from the brand Beasted... pretty dope concept. There is also another one of Sir Charles check them out here.

The Cool Kids - Pennies



This is pretty old but I love this video. When Fish Ride Bicycles is dropping soon and according to Chuck Inglish it sounds like "silver back gorillas playing full contact beach volleyball." Look out for the pre-album mixtape with DJ Drama titled Gone Fishing.
