Right time to breath life into our blog, so you kids are getting a super-mega-hyper post as i celebrate the return to rainy England!
Enjoy!
Working through to the rowdiness here goes:
First up is this girl Adele who i got put on to today (myspace.com/adelelondon) who has an absurdly wonderful voice. 'Hometown Glory' despite sounding like it was recorded in school assembly is absolute magic- spine-tingly affair, though 'Daydreamer' is the one tipped to be the first single.
Adele- Hometown Glory
Adele- Daydreamer
Following up on the hidden cache of MF Doom that i discovered last time, here are a couple of special blends (volume 1). Basically the instrumentals are off MF Doom tracks and different acapellas are chosen to go on top by our main man- The production on 'Ya Playin Yaself'...[i shake my head] Wooop!
Jeru Da Damaja/MF Doom- Ya Playin Yaself
Nas/MF Doom- One Love
This collaboration is also a big tune, with Hell Razah, Talib Kwelli and Doom under his Viktor Vaughn alias.
Hell Razah, Talib Kweli & Viktor Vaughn- Project Jazz
Continuing on the colaborations theme, we have the Dungeon Family version of Cool Breeze's 'Watch for the Hook'- representing a circa 1999 Southern Allstar team, with Outkast and Goodie Mob featuring. Thrown in is Dungeon Family's 'Follow the Light'.
Cool Breeze- Watch for the Hook
Dungeon Family- Follow the Light
Lang Whitaker from Slamonline put me onto this one, and the video ain't bad:
Moving on we head to the'foul-mouth lyricists for the discotheque, yo' section. Last time i put down a bit of Pase Rock and Spank Rock, this time i introduce the frankly terrible Mickey Avalon.
Basically the deal with this ex-Hollywood Boulevard Gigolo/junkie, and general cracked out brear- (grandparents Holocaust survivors...) is that he is super popular with rebelious and ridiculously wealthy Orange County girls.
Cue video and groupies:
Critics of his album claimed it was made on a casio- this track i feel exemplifies him:
Mickey Avalon- Waiting to Die
ChazOlogy has become a recent resource, and carrying on with the 'foul-mouthed lyricists in the discotheque' section i add Amanda Blank. "Amanda Blank is a brassy, subterranean hip-hop seductress and staggering, firecrack Philly rapper" sayeth TrocaBrahma who are responsable for the some forthcoming events over the 26-29 July. On Friday 27, she is teaming up with the Diplo (!!!) and Os Mutantes at the Forum... am definitely making it down. Anyway here are a couple of tracks:
Amanda Blank- DJ Play that Shit
Ectomorph vs Amanda Blank- Ectospank Blank
Carrying on this mammoth musical deluge are Simian Mobile Disco and Dibaba on a bit more of a rowdier dancing tip.
Simian Mobile Disco- Hustler
Dibaba- The Truth (Anders Ilar Remix)
Finally i end on two corkers, courtesy of Estaw a dutch remixer/producer. The last one is a thumped-up version of Lupe Fiasco's 'Kick Push'. Lupe is quite clearly a bit of a don, and as these tracks show, Estaw is aswell.
Xpress2- Kill 100 Estaw Remix
Lupe Fiasco- Kick Push Estaw Remix
Well thats all kids, i think i exhausted the 100 mb limit on YouSendIt, but in a week you will all be ready to post inspired new discoveries!
Hasta pronto
