Dice Raw "Baby Come Home"

Dice Raw is dope and last week he put out a pretty strong project with his first installment of The Greatest Rapper Never trilogy ‘Preservation.’ Along with the new album, he dropped this promo video, which you may have seen on my tumblr page, as well as the full track. Enjoy. Chea!

“This is a big opportunity for me to show fans what I’ve been working on the last several years.  The Greatest Rapper Never is my story but I also think it’s the story of a lot of artists who never got their proper shine signed and unsigned in the business.  I’m really hype about this music and I think you’re going to like it because I kept it one hundred,” says Dice Raw.

Algorhythms "Ram Nam Satya Hai" x Humpasaur Jones "Funeral Groupies"

Damn, sometimes I'm a slacker when it comes to checking emails and then posting great music when I find it within those emails. Well, I've long been a fan of the content that comes from the good folks over a World Around Records. Recently, they shared two great tracks with me and it's only right that I share them with you.

First, a cool track from Algorhythms. A laid back and very chill joint with a remix provided by s. maharba remix. According to World Around, the remix is so smooth they may never release the original. Ha!



The other joint is one I had heard a while back when Justin over at World Around shared it with me. I thought the cut was dope then and now they are finally getting around to releasing it to the public. I dig it and hope you do too.

EVENT: Brooklyn Bodega Presents We Got The Jazz (6/16/11)

Seems like a fresh event with some talented folks.

Brooklyn Bodega reps at the Northside Festival with a mix of funk, jazz, and Hip-Hop

Taking place in the walkable radius of Williamsburg and Greenpoint, Northside is a four-day showcase of the work these people do behind the closed doors of rehearsal spaces, studios and makeshift home-offices, as well as glimpses from their contemporary creative communities around the world. Above all, it’s a celebration of these so-called dreamer types. Because they’re the reason you’re here, at the center of the universe.

Who: The Stuyvesants, Kooley High, Fresh Daily, Tanya Morgan, Che Grand, Naturel, Phony PPL, Progress, Scienze
When: June 16th 8-1130PM, Open Bar 9-10PM

Hip-Hop Breakfast Ep 58

It's like I'm always working, working, day and night. Ha! Last week between my full time gig, and other side projects, I probably clocked in something like 90 hours. This included a quick trip to rural CT for a design project. So, as I started to put this mix together while traveling back via bus from CT/Downstate NY to Upstate, the only thing on my mind was work. So, every track has "work" in it. I guess you can call these some of my favorite "work" related cuts, including Blu x Exile's Blu Colla Worker, Gang Star's Work and of course MJ's Working Day and Night and Kanye's Workout Plan. I'm just having fun with it this week, so just ride with a brother and enjoy. I hope EP 58 helps to kick start your work week. Chea!

01. Blu x Exile - Blu Colla Workers
02. Michael Jackson - Working Day and Night
03. Black Thought - Work
04. Psalm One - Woman at Work (The Song)
05. Gang Starr - Work
06. Talib Kweli - Work It Out
07. Kanye West - The New Workout Plan

What EMS Is Watching ... @DdBMusic - Sure Thing (original by Miguel)

All I have to say is, these mainstream artist better watch out for Daniel de Bourg. I've started listening to The DDB Mixtape Volume 1 - The Prelude which is a compilation of the covers Daniel has done of other songs and it's definitely worth a listen.

Thanks to Q for putting this on my radar.

Check out Daniel de Bourg's Bandcamp page here and his YouTube page here.

Enjoy the video, folks.

What I'm Watching ... The Floacist - "Keep It Going" feat. Raheem DeVaughn

The Floacist, aka Natalie Stewart, released her latest video off her album "Floetic Soul" today. This track features one of my other favorite newer R&B artists in Raheem DeVaughn. The album overall is a great work of art as I have always been a fan of Floetry as a group and individually. The Floacist come through poetically on this with visuals that are simple, yet creative. If you haven't purchased her album, I suggest you do that after checking out this video!

What I'm Watching: Yelawolf “Daddy’s Lambo”

I fucks with Yelawolf. Musically the dude is dope and personally, he seems down to earth. I've never not nodded my head when a Yelawolf track was on. I've also peeped a gang of interviews with him and he's always humble and cool about his musical rise. Now a member of the Shady crew, including Em and Slaughterhouse, he's among some lyrical powerhouses. But Yelawolf holds his own. Anyway, the first time I heard "Daddy's Lambo" I thought the track was dope. Now we have a video to match the cut. Fresh. Funny that (spoiler alert) home chick had to pee and that dude peeled out like a scene from Bang Bus, allegedly of course. Ha! Enjoy the video. Chea!
