Mixtape: OnCue - Can't Wait
OnCue’s latest mixtape is simply fantastic. For those who know me personally, you’re probably aware that I’ve been working closely with OnCue and his team for the last 8 months aiding in any way that I can. I do this because I truly believe in his music and that’s something that is hard to come by in today’s musical climate. We currently have 2 dates left on a 34...

Taking A Time Out for The Pledge To Rage Tour
I’ll be on tour with OnCue for the next several weeks, so this little blog of mine will be taking a long hiatus. In it’s place, I will be reblogging from my dude PDA’s tumblr (www.pledgetoeat.tumblr.com) which will be updating our adventures in eating while on tour. Enjoy.

So this is what Florence would sound like if she lived in a drug induced state of darkness like The Weeknd seems too.
Rostam - Wood
Vampire Weekend/Discovery’s producer and random instrument playing guy Rostam Batmanglij shows off his middle eastern roots with a new gem of a record.

Chappelle Show, all them Neal Brennans, sketch comedy, who is for real penning?
Video: jj – “Your Love” - Acoustic (The Outfield...
As a DJ, I can say that I’ve had to play this Outfield joint in one way shape or another at about 80% of my gigs over the years. I also despise it in almost every way. In almost every way except for the acoustic version that jj’s frontwoman performs on this video. It’s exceptionally beautiful.
Video: Azealia Banks - 212
I caught this video over the weekend and was a bit blown away. This girl is incredibly talented. Harlem’s on a roll these days.

Video: Meyhem Lauren - I Can't Win
I like seeing these young NYC dudes all fuckin’ with each other. Meyhem Lauren’s got bars too. Next level video concepts though? Not so much. But who really cares.
Video: Yelawolf ft. Lil Jon – Hard White
Hmm, reminds me of my typical Saturday night.
Dam Funk - Forever
I’ve been rocking with Dam Funk for a minute now. His funky original tracks and remixes have become a stable of any early night club set I’ve done of the past few years. His live show at Bonnaroo this past summer though, officially made me a fan.
“Forever” is off Dam’s new InnaFocusedDaze EP for Scion A/V.

Mac Miller – Face The Facts (Prod. by DJ Premier)
Premo’s been talking about this track for a couple weeks via twitter. While the beat is classic Preem, I’m not sure if Mac brings out his A game for this one.

Apes in robes, a band of disembodied heads and arms. This is all good.
J. Cole. ft. Jay Z - Mr. Nice Watch

Outasight - Loosen Up
Outasight dropped a new track today via twitter. “Loosen Up” is a fun and light track with a classic Outasight quality. This feel good song will help you get through the rest of your school or work week! You can listen to and download the track HERE!

Mixtape: The CEO - Cornerstone Mixtape #141
It’s almost Fall here in NYC ya’ll. What better way to wrap up the end of the hot weather than with some hot summer close out music? This time we took a hop, skip & a jump over to the midwest, MO to be exact… With that being said, we’d like to present to you The Cornerstone Mixtape #141: Pure Untapped. Mixed by The CEO, representing KHTT: 106.9 K-Hits, Late...
Mixtape: Mr. M'n eXquire - Lost in Translation
Via The Fader:
Over the weekend, Mr. Muthafuckin eXquire released Lost in Translation, a mixtape full of drunken, grimy, self-deprecating New York rap. There’s production by El-P on here (including a couple re-purposed beats from Cannibal Ox’s The Cold Vein), as well as a lot of talk about being drunk and not stoked on yourself. Mostly though, it’s exciting to hear a dude sing off-key, rap...
Video: Beirut - Santa Fe
I love Beirut’s album. It’s a steady “go to” joint when I want to get away from my usual diet of trap music and 90’s hip hop nostalgia. Today the band released their rather peculiar video for “Santa Fe”. You kinda just have to watch it for yourself.

It’s not exactly an all out assault, but I guess Weezy finally got a little upset at all the Jay Z subliminals being fired at his loving father.

Yesterday saw the passing of Nick Ashford and Jerry Leiber. They were two of the greatest songwriters that the world of pop music has ever known.
Nick Ashford and his wife Valerie Simpson, known professionally as Ashford & Simpson, were songwriting/production team and recording artists. They met at Harlem’s White Rock Baptist Church in 1963. After having recorded unsuccessfully as...

Smoke DZA ft. ASAP Rocky - Four Loko
After a disastrous New Year’s Eve experience, I forever swore off Four Loko. That doesn’t mean I won’t listen to tracks about it though. Especially when the beat includes wind chimes. Yea, I’m a sucker for wind chimes.
“Four Loko” appears on Harlem’s own Smoke DZA’s upcoming album, Rolling Stoned, which drops August 30th.
Video: OnCue - Feel Tall
“Feel Tall” was the first leak from OnCue’s upcoming mixtape entitled Can’t Wait scheduled to be released in early September. The accompanying “Feel Tall” video is a creative look at OnCue’s playful personality and was shot using stop motion photography.

Game ft. Tyler the Creator & Lil Wayne - Martians...
I don’t know if I’ve heard more name dropping in one track in my entire life. That’s The Game for you. But, I’m a fan of any track that has Lil B geting murdered on wax…even if it is annoying ass The Game lighting the fuse. Is it me, or did Tyler kinda get Jayson on his own record though? The Goblin’s was tough.
Niki & the Dove – Last Night
Why is all the good music these days seemingly coming from Sweden? Good music, hot chicks, free healthcare AND fish shaped candy? That place has it all.

Love songs to strippers are sooo 2004.
