  Casa Bey by Mos Def 

  Mos Def’s The Ecstatic, released June ’09, must live up to the hype that follows three years of inactivity.   I saw Mos Def live at Sasquatch two weeks before his album dropped.  To be honest he looked unmotivated and his stage presence was closer to that of a super model than a musician.  However, one week following the concert 90′s nostalgia kicked in and I pre-ordered my copy from Amazon.  While I’m still too unprepared to write an Album Review, what I can say is that Mos Def is a better studio artist than he is a live performer.  My favorite track thus far off The Ecstatic has been “Casa Bey”, I’ve added it to several of my playlists and it grows on me with every playback.  Other reviews I’ve read say that Mos Def has adopted a worldly sound with his latest album, however I found that “Casa Bey” uses little more than traditional Jazz instruments.  Enjoy!

  KiD CuDi – Make Her Say Official Video 

  KiD CuDi with his second single after “Day ‘n’ Nite” from his first album Man on the Moon: The End of Day due to drop 9/15. “Make Her Say” was originally named “I Poke Her Face” from his latest mixtape Dat Kid from Cleveland, the mixtape version of the song continues on for another 30 seconds with a piano melody and Lady Gaga singing the “Poker Face” hook which was wisely cut since it adds nothing to the track. Its nice to see that some artists still stick true the roots and have mixtapes to create buzz around the scene, but there isn’t any more buzz you could create than being linked to Kanye & Common. KiD CuDi will be the hottest artist on the scene once the album drops!

  Ivan Ives – Villain Official Video 

  The first single from Ivan Ives’s new album NEWSPEAK features more truth be told lyrics from my favorite white rapper. The beat is fresh and the hook is addicting. Ivan Ives raves on as a top notch underground rapper, I’m excited to see what else he has in store for us with NEWSPEAK. Stay tuned.

  Lil Wayne ‘Amelie’ Remix of ‘A Milli’ by Ivan Ives 

  You have to respect an artist that also produces his own music videos.  This music video is a remix of “Amelie” as well as “A Milli” by Lil Wayne.

  NPSH is Natalie Portmans Shaved Head 

  A little different but it’s growing on me much like Of Montreal.  These kids may have a lot to learn but it’s clear they have the creativity to make it big someday and touring with Lily Allen certainly won’t hurt… What do you think?

  Summertime tracks never get old in July 

  While Animal Collective may have won your hearts over in January, I had to actually see them live at Sasquatch before dusting off their latest album.

  How could they go wrong with the perfectly titled track “Summertime Clothes” in June? Well I can tell you they didn’t, the song is spot on despite the terrible music video, enjoy!
