Dwele - Travelin' Girl (live music video)
Some real goodness, uploaded just last week.
I always hear people bitchin' about how the music industry is plummeting, and how nobody makes real material anymore. I can't stand hearing that shit. I won't front on the fact that 80% of current releases are plain wack-attack ('cause they are), but I will front on the fact that people don't take the time of day to really look past the mundane and discover the other 20% that exist around the corner.
We have Raphael Saadiq:
We have Janelle Monae:
We've always had Dwele:
And we have plenny more out there.

Wildlife - Nature
Not gonna lie, trynna find an appropriate picture to post by google image searching "wildlife nature" was the worst idea I've had all week. Shoulda expected to get riddled with pics of trees, bears, waterfalls, birds, & freelance wildlife/nature photographer advertisements.
But hey, meet the leaf-less Wildlife, a Brooklyn trio composed of Gabriel Cohen-DeVries, Andrew Doga, & Tomek Gross. They have 20 myspace friends & make me wanna start my own label so I could start releasing & putting out music like their "Nature" joint before others jump on it.

Riva Starr - I Was Drunk (ft. Noze) (video)
This video just made my week. Month, maybe, even. One of my favourite sounds of the moment, by one of my favourite producers, incorporating scenes from a romantic comedy from my homeland called "Црна мачка, бели мачор" ("Black Cat, White Cat").

My Secret Lover (video + Diplo remix)

South Rakkas Crew & Fake Blood commercial
Fake Blood remix of SRC's "Mad Again" used on the commercial for the upcoming America's Best Dance Crew season.
Always good to see hardworking homies get some big corporate mainstream love.
Rampage!
As soon as I typed the word 'rampage' in my previous post I reminded myself of some stuff I failed to upload this past week. Chicago's Rampage (of Ghetto Division & Nightshifters label) has been on a steady tear since his "War" EP release - pumpin' joints out left 'n right, each better than the previous. Hope to have the homie come play one of our parties soon... shit would be hella fuckery.
Rampage - Loving U Is Easy
To get a better idea of Rampage's musical mind-state, snatch his recent summer minimix. 25 tracks & a slew of original works fast paced into 19 minutes of heavyness.

The Heavy x Joker & Solo
I've been on a mini dubstep downloading rampage this past week. When not grabbin' the heavyness, I've just been listening to a shitload of loungy bongo filled goodness. This post kinda morphs the 2, given Joker's usual approach & Solo's taste in drums (most evident in his fabriclive promo mix). Original courtesy of The Heavy.

TONIGHT: Jokers Of The Scene + Drastik + Illo (new addition!)
Our monthly Disorganised party pops off tonight. Even the good homies over @ Fool's Gold Records are pushin' it. Our partners in crime, Jokers Of The Scene, have been doing massive touring this past year (even moved to Europe for 2 months due to the number of gigs they were booked for) so its great to finally have the boys back to play on their own turf. Both JOTS & Drastik have been steady readying themselves for the hometown throwdown. Drastik has been sick for the past week or two, so when not kleenexing mid-mixing @ various gigs, he has been kleenexing while downloading copious amounts of new music. I know this because both my toilet paper inventory & internet speed have miraculously halfed during his last visit.
JUST ADDED TO THE BILL! DJ Illo will be throwin' down as well (4 turntable set w/ Drastik).

Martyn - Hear Me
Some laid back dubstep, without all the wah-wah-wuh-wohhh. Woulda been quite on the Burial tip had the vocals been female, and drums slowed down. This is just one joint off Martyn's self-released (through his "3024" label) Great Lengths LP but, honestly, choose any track from the release & you'll be overly satisfied.

Boy 8-Bit - Baltic Pine
The above pictured is your average Baltic Pine. Below you'll find the higher grade shit.

Red: The Man Without The Machine
This the typa shit I love to see. Homeless jail hopping hidden musical gem "Red the Rap Stallion" gettin' his unmistakeable talent youtube'd into a record release. No vocoder, talk-box, or studio manipulation... just straight beatboxing & funk vocals with chest punching twists.
Here is the original footage of Red alley kickin' his "I Should Tell Ya Momma on You" creation. Recorded (December '08) behind Cali's HVW8 Art & Design Gallery, the clip was filmed & thrown online by the HVW8's Tyler "Ty G" Gibney.
Red's demand for label exposure & opportunity to showcase his skills has, due to the video's 360,000+ youtube & 1.3 million worldstarhiphop.com hits, become more than just possible. A buncha cats have since upped their edits & renditions of the original, but it wasn't until the gallery's people hooked up with the Stones Throw Records heads that shit got serious.
The original "I Should Tell Ya Momma on You" saw an EP release through iTunes just last week (July 23rd), with official remixes by Dam-Funk (Stones Throw) & CHOPS (Bun B, Jeezy, Game). Damn, that West Coast sound is nice.
I'm really feelin' his "a setback is a setup for a comeback" mentaility.
"Proceeds of this album will go to Red with the intention of getting him off the street and ending the vicious cycle of the California prison system, with the hope of a better tomorrow."
This Cinderella story needs pushin' - hit the iTunes purchase page for your contributing nudge.
