Interview: Miss Special x TASK1ne

Editor's note: Another fresh interview from Miss Special, chopping it up with TASK1ne. Dope.

This week on Special Sundays Radio Show (2-4pm www.ksfs.sfsu.edu) I interviewed Sacramento's own TASK1ne. We spoke about his debut album "District 916" and fellow SkyNet member Mad Flows called in to talk about what they are working on. TASK1ne also talked about the vision behind his album title, the features, producers, where to get it and his upcoming tour.

What I'm Watching: C Plus "ALL C.I.T.Y."

California's C Plus is a fresh dude. He was featured earlier today on Hip-Hop Breakfast alongside two other dope Cali emcees. I caught his latest video, released a few days ago, while surfing on the Internets. Filmed in New York City with Erick Lee behind the lens, C Plus serves up a cool vid for the Hippie Sabotage and Chase Moore produced cut. Enjoy. Chea!

L.A. "The L.A. Riots: Mental Fatality" Produced by Hippie Sabotage

"The L.A. Riots: Mental Fatality is about conflict. Life f*cked me up and now I have this massive project in which I attempt to reveal my heart beating up my mind, or my mind beating up my heart, throughout the album in such a way you can hear me blacking in and out." - L.A.

I was late to work downloading this joint at 12:45 this morning. But after a few singles and some shared leaks from L.A., I needed to hear the final product and it couldn't wait until I got off at 9:30am. So, I bit the bullet and took the 10 minute late L. It was worth it. L.A.'s sound really comes alive on her new project, that has seen its fair share of delays. It was definitely worth the wait.

Her previous project, The Presentation (which was also her debut), was more of a mixtape with a strong influence by Kanye West beats. The L.A. Riots: Mental Fatality is more of an album, produced entirely by the California based Hippie Sabotage, with an incredible story and sound.

A solid listen from beginning to end. As L.A. said, she poured her heart into this one. I can't say it enough, take notice. L.A. is alive, and she's arrived. Chea!

What I'm Watching: Frank Ocean "Thinking About You"

I love when people make untypical videos. Frank Ocean recently dropped this video for "Thinking About You" (and I'm a bit confused about this song and the whole Bridget Kelly situation). However, I love this video. I'm not exactly sure what's going on but I love the whole Native American storyline.
