Yeah. ¡MAYDAY! is back. And they brought some friends. Very nice friends. But not suitable for all viewers. This video is more for grown folk. You've been warned. Haha.
The ¡MAYDAY! boys & MURS decided to take a break and write a love song. No animals were hurt during the making of this video. NSFW
The Black Opera announced a few days ago their partnership with Mello Music Group. Yesterday they dropped a double single, almost as a statement that the dopeness continues. Hit play and enjoy.
Shouts to the folks over at ACT LIVE for this one. Definitely digging this joint from Tru Starr. Hit play. Enjoy. Chea!
"There's always going to be the good and bad things in life, what will you choose? Tru Starr poses this question for you, the audience, in his new video for the single 'Feel Like Dying'. Many have taken on Kanye West's 'Devil In A New Dress', but Tru Starr truly laces it."
"So many times we get
wrapped up in our own selfish desires and we forget the things that are
truly important. Often times, if we took the time to look around, we'd
find that most of these things are already present in our lives. This
song was written in 2009 (and has been remade a million times lol) when I
really sat down and took the time to think about what was truly
important to me. It was a humbling experience and produced the song I
present to you now. I'll be fine and you will too." -Capital Ode
First introduced to our readers by TMB contributor Egypto Knuckles, Capital Ode is back with a solid track produced by Drum-Fu. I definitely dig this cut. Hit play and enjoy for yourself. Chea!
Woody links up with Carlitta Durand on his latest B.I.G. remix. Woody x The Notorious B.I.G.: Remixed drops tomorrow. In the meantime, enjoy One More Chance. Chea!
When it comes to beatmakers, we share a common chord and that's digging. Nothing feels better than coming across a rare record that you heard flipped. There's an unspoken challenge to flip it differently. Even the artwork speaks to you. So as I started chopping this Teddy Pendergrass (Easy, Easy, Got to Take It Easy) sample, I had that nagging suspicion that someone had flipped this sample already, but I couldn't pinpoint who. So after I flip the sample I went on whosampled.com to find out who had used it and it turns out Little Brother used it for "Not Enough ft. Darien Brockington" and Cali Agents used for "Close to Cash". I gave both records a listen, and they both did a great job but I feel I flip it better, as any beatmaker would say. Take a listen to my version, tell me what your thoughts are! Thank you, Enjoy -Jinesis.
While in Brooklyn two weeks ago, OC Supreme and I caught up with Miss Special, meeting our West Coast ally for the first time. She's just as cool in person. Having moved out East for an internship, she hasn't slowed down one bit. Peep her latest interview with YC The Cynic and Yuri Beats. Chea!
Miss Special caught up with YC The Cynic and Yuri Beats at the release party for their project “Good Morning, Midnight”.
The two gave hilariously different versions of how they met and decided to work together. "I was walking the desert and the moment I thought there was no human life form I came across Yuri Beats and it was the most amazing experience ever because he had water and I was like wow, we should make music" says YC The Cynic. Yuri Beats followed up by telling a slightly different version about how he saw YC The Cynic perform at South Paw, to which YC The Cynic responds "the stories have to match bro".
The two remarked on a comment made that their project was "like Drake, Kanye and The Pharcyde had a baby. Then YC raised it and released an album."
The two also spoke about their upcoming plans including Yuri Beats working on Nitty Scott MC's "Boombox Diaries Volume 1", as well as, Max Burgundy and eXquire and YC The Cynic's debut album "GNK".
