NYC producer/emcee J57 dropped off two projects today over at J57music.com. Go check and cop those. But in the meantime, peep the vid for Days Still Turn to Night featuring his crew Brown Bag AllStars and Andrew Thomas of Recess/TheClubhouse, with cuts from BBAS' own DJ Element. I see these dudes out there trying to get that Oscar award in the Pace Rivers directed video. Ha!

@KirbyLauryen's A Song A Day: Day 143

I think Kirby's hairstyle dictates the mood of her music. I'm convinced. I think the straightened hair has something to do with the heartfelt and deep ballads of the last few days. Anyway, she wrote a song for you today. Help her share it with the world. Chea!

What I'm Watching: Chantele DiBrava "People Get Ready" (Cover)

A few times a week I venture away from rap and when I do, I often come across some solid finds. I stumbled on Chantele DiBrava's videos a week or so ago and have been caught up in them. I think she's dope. She's pushing heavy via her youtube page with a few different series. I dig it. You should check out what she has to offer and in the meantime, enjoy the Curtis Mayfield cover. Chea.

ScholarMan "The Lasting"

Dope project from ScholarMan on the production side of things. I dig it. So, spread love, it's the Brooklyn way ...

"The Lasting is a collection of beats that I have created over the past year or so. Some of these beats actually had lyrics recorded to them but were never released. I have included a range of sounds on this project – everything from boom-bap hip-hop to alternative melodies. The inspiration and fuel behind the title is simply achieving a level of respect and notoriety that is lasting instead of gaining temporary, trivial attention. In a nutshell, The Lasting creates the legacy."

SUBMiT "Window Seat Trailer"

Directed by SUBMiT and Abijeet Achar of New Vintage Productions, check the trailer for his new project Window Seat, due out July 18th. What happens next? Guess we gotta wait and see. In the meantime, enjoy the preview. Chea!
