The only black kid in malibu



Say what you will about his lyrics, but this guy's got some GNARLY hooks... first class, memorable, dope hooks... such an underrated skill.

His songs got him signed up to record-don Jordan Schur's imprint with Interscope, managed by the great Jimmy Iovine, produced by Lou Adler's son and touring with Hollywood legend, Mickey Avalon.

You're hearing early stages, expect big things. I saw his live show a few months ago-- great times.

Roman can be a snob, but he just wants to party.

Presets 'Summer of love' was interesting to see performed live.

SebastiAn's selections killed. (pictured left)

Strangely enough, none of it came even remotely close to Boys Noize's show. Pick up his new LP asap.

I was going down, but now I started winning...

WINNING (DUTCH RADIO RECORDING) MP3 (Yousendit)

The Legendary Vinyl Mania Closes For Good.

Un Fucking Real.

When sonic groove left us, it was dissapointing, but not like this.

The Bedford Block will never be the same.

Vinyl Mania was just 20 paces from our gate. No more copping doubles in the dead of winter with just shorts on.

Station Command salutes you.

The One and Only...

Ricky Powell. The original village kid... Back with his new season of 'Rappin' with the Rickster'. Not only is Ricky a photography pioneer, hip hop legend, village aficionado, as well as the coolest cat in New York, but last year I found out he lives a block away when I met him in the cyber cafe on Bleeker during Comcast's west vill internet service fuck up. Fellow Manhattanite's better tune in to MNN Channel 57 every Wednesday at 11PM... and while we're talking Manhattan Public Access... don't sleep on Fancy Nancy. (The TV does not go on otherwise.)

In a related anecdote, we got lost again heading out to Brooknom for Casette this weekend. The new motto is, "Fuck a bridge, Fuck a tunnel... Manhattan or bust". (Not to offfend our multi borough B&T family).

OOIOO is at the Knitting Factory and Explosions in the Sky at Webster Hall today. Catch you all at High Voltage on Wednesday.

Prodigy

Prodigy's verse on "Thun and Kicko" is one of my all time favorites. (below)

THUN AND KICKO MP3 (ZSHARE)

You's a notebook crook, with loose leaf beef
A backseat criminal who'll pass the heat
To somebody that blast the heat
Man... it sound bad on the pad? what happened in the street?
A villain on the vinyl, an analog outlaw
A lot of gats on your DAT taped southpaw
You thuggin when the mics plugged in
Barkin through the speakers like you got no sense
You're wild on the 2 inch
Got your platinum plaques to prove it
Your music's been around the world movin
And it come right back around to the ground on it
Now its time to face your opponent
Infamous cling to this real shit
Stuck where we started at
Fuck that
Not because I have to we want to
I love this shit
The raw is what I live for
To hear the sound of the crowd roar for more
To see the niggas that can't pay rush the door
Wildin on the dance floor when they song come on
Swinging they fists
Ready for war but its a different type of effect
Its not violence
They're just tranced by the advance
Tranqued by the sound bank
Put under the drum
Numbed off of our shit
Now who you rocking with them or us
Deep love or cheap lust
QB or bust
Infamous til we pass on
You're laughing at the wrong kid, I take action
The fam are confidants, nigga
I write bombs that'll shatter your ambitions of being top dog
As we move through the stage floor, I need to bass more
So I can taste it and make y'all go AWOL and lose it
Say no more
Brace your delf... nigga its on

Justice? You sure 'bout that?

So Justice leaks this new track on the net a while back titled "Phantom" or "Phantom Part I", whatever it may be. According to them, it's an old track they never officially put out. But when they say "old", I guess they're referring to the original track by Goblin which they straight jacked!



Check it out.

The Justice track was recently posted on the blog. Make sure to grab that as well.
