Jean Grae " KILL SCREEN (aka Steve Wiebe)"


Aaahhh yes! New music from the highly mic gifted Jean Grae. I was missing me some Jean Grae music and this track, a bonus cut to her upcoming Gotham Down album, definitely handled that problem. So dope!

Peep her recent interview over at MTV Hive. She gives you a little insight on both upcoming albums of hers.

What I'm Watching: Behind the Unsigned: Chris Webby, Fred The Godson, Nitty Scott MC, Skyzoo, and D. Chamberz


I've been so busy that I haven't had a chance to watch these until recently. Playing catch up can be a headache but when what you're catching up is artists like these, I can't be mad at all. Behind The Unsigned is giving you a brief insight into a few artists and their lives on and off the mic. Check em out.

Chris Webby:
As a white, middle-class kid from suburban Connecticut, Chris Webby knows the odds aren't in his favor to make it in hip hop. Find out why that's not stopping him anytime soon.



Fred The Godson:
Follow Fred The Godson as he records his "Rack City/Where I'm From" freestyle and see why Hov co-signs him and XXL named him a 2011 Freshman pick.


Cy Matics - "Darling"


Cy Matics speaks on a special lady that may or may not be in his life currently in this newly released single. Haha. Check it.

Interview: Miss Special x Thurz


Thurz is dope. Hopefully you already know that. Miss Special is dope. But you probably already know that too. Recently Miss Special caught up with Thurz (on a Thursday no less) following the release of his new project 517 W Queen. Enjoy the interview. Chea!
Just days after dropping it, Thurz calls in to Special Sundays Radio Show with Miss Special to discuss his newest project "517 W Queen", the prequel mixtape to his next album "Blood On The Canvas". He speaks about his sound, the idea behind the name of the mixtape and the upcoming album, his hilarious features, touring with Miguel, his new video for "Colors", and lions of the artwork of the mixtape and upcoming album. His interpretation for "Blood On The Canvas" is that his life is art so this music is blood on the canvas and 517 W Queen is where that life began, including recording his first mixtapes.

NEW RELEASE: Sid Sriram "Daydream"



Yeah, Sid Sriram is dope. With his new EP, Daydream, Sid offers up stunning visuals co-directed by himself and Drew Gilbert of Freshbakedoto. Definitely well worth the 8 minutes. Enjoy the music.
This 7 track concept EP will lead the listener down the journey of falling into a dark daydream and the subsequent return to reality. The full EP is being presented with one visual, featuring pieces of each track, creating a short film, starring Kelsey Worley. Sid himself will serve as the executive producer of the project, with assistance by industry veteran Chad Dexter, Grammy nominee Gabo Lugo, and recent Berklee graduates Jon Nellen and Andy Kautz (AkoustiK).
