What I'm Watching: Jazz Spastiks - "Dumb!" featuring Yesh

Nod ya head. Get dumb! Check out the latest visuals from Jazz Spastiks featuring Yesh. This joint is extra chill and gives me a late 90s nostalgic feel to it due to the music and the Sifl and Olly type characters. Haha.

Jazz Spastiks' latest single Dumb! is brought to life by sock puppets in this brand new head nodding video. The beats remain tough even though the musical equipment is made from multicoloured felt! Dumb Remix is featured on 'The Product - Remixes' Album dropping very soon on CD, Digital and Limited Edition 12" Vinyl. Dumb! is taken from the highly acclaimed Jazz Spastiks album 'The Product' available now!

Allen Poe - "Shrines From Dust" (Prod. by Amerigo Gazaway)

Poe's 3rd Single from his next record "How Gardens Grow" due to release in October. Should be a pretty good project. I'm definitely anticipating adding it to my rotation.

"This goes to MCs who didn't hop in and out of 'rap'. Holding Hip-Hop in a higher regard, allowed them to ride out the highs and lows of creating, respecting it as a craft helped them to build something from very little." - Allen Poe

How Gardens Grow will release mid October, more details on the release coming soon. S/O Amerigo Gazaway on the production and PJ Katz on the mix/master.

Diamond District (yU, Oddisee, Uptown XO) - "Lost Cause"

The latest heat from "March On Washington", releasing on October 14th. Maaaaaaaaaaan, I can't wait.

What I'm Watching: J-Live - "Not Listening"

J-Live not trying to listen when you ain't even saying shit. Especially if it's sounds like a broken record. Truthfully, neither are we. Haha.

You on some next shit, really are you sure?
Stop me if you ain't never heard this before
Okay, you got on some jewelry, you push a nice ride
You really like the color of the leather inside
You grew up in the hood and you surprised you survived
You nice on the mic, top 10 dead or alive
You prefer pretty girls, especially thick
Coincidentally, that's the type that's on your dick
Your crazy misadventures are unique and bugged
Like remember that time you shot guns and sold drugs?
Your next album's about to change the game
The world's on notice to remember your name
You love where you live and that's where you get your style from
How I just summed up your last three albums?!

Boyz II Men - "Underwater + Diamond Eyes + Better Half + Losing Sleep"

Taking a different approach to their usual style of music, Shawn, Wanya, and Nathan embark in a sort of unique directions with their upcoming album "Collide" set to October 21st. A part of me wishes for the days they collaborated with Babyface when they made them timeless, classic R&B joints. But that's just my personal preference. Check out their latest 4 tracks off the album right here and tell us what you think.

"The experimental album, described as a fusion of rock, pop and funk with classic R&B, has "a very big sound" Stockman says. It's "a landmark album for us not only because it contains some new stylistic elements, but also because it is a reflection of exactly who we are now."

Willie Green - "A Suite For Souled People"

The recent events in Ferguson, Missouri (as well as Staten Island, Beavercreek, Ohio, and Los Angeles) have lifted a veil of comfortable ignorance across this country. The murder of Michael Brown, resultant cover up and egregious treatment of protesters has shown that the perception of Black people in America has changed little since the Civil Rights movement of the 1960’s. Americans live in a country where the oppressed are dehumanized and told to be quiet and gracious about their anger; and where the oppressors are harbored by our government and rewarded by our peers. Where the media warps facts to prove agendas against citizens and digital voices rush to play devil’s advocate to conceal their own bias. These are terrifying statements and not exaggerations. I’m no revolutionary. But I am someone who wants to look his children in the eyes and say when his country showed its worst, he did something.

 - Paul “Willie Green” Womack, Sept. 15th, 2014
