Music, photos, and news straight out of Harlem
New Erykah Badu Video
photo: Jermaine K. Bell
I can’t think of a better way to begin this blog then by showcasing a clip from Erykah Badu -- one of my favorite artists! “Jump Up in the Air (Stay There)” features guest vocals from Bilal and rhymes courtesy of ‘Lil Weezy himself, here with a blingless gleaming white crest smile.
This trippy treat is a gift to us all, but especially appealing to lovers of psychedelic visuals. Much of this video occurs in a fantastic world where the beautiful Badu appears everywhere in glorious kaleidoscopic fashion!
Don’t get too attached -- this track will not be on her forthcoming album: New Amerykah Park II: Return of the Ankh, due in late March. If this tasty tidbit is a cast-off, it looks like Badu is well on her way to delivering another excellent album. Can’t wait to hear it!
Scroll down to see the clip, or check it out at her website.

Weezy F. Baby’s got a brand-new Hype Williams-directed video that hasn’t been formally released. However thanks to the magic of the interwebs, I’ve got the clip for you to enjoy NOW. Supposedly the clip is, in part, inspired by the movie Inception, but I wouldn’t know, as I’m music obsessed, not movie obsessed.
New Music: Pharoahe Monch “Black Hand Side” feat. Styles P & Phonte’
about 11 months ago - No comments
“Black Hand Side” is produced by Mike Loe & is from Pharoahe Monch’s upcoming album W.A.R. (We Are Renegades) in stores March 22nd on W.A.R. Media/Duck Down Music. I’m hoping W.A.R. actually comes out. The last time I saw Pharoahe Monch, it was in Queensbridge Park here in NYC, as part of the city’s Summerstage series of free concerts. (You can check out photos of that event here.) At that time, Monche was saying his album was supposed to be released in September. Is there a second springtime September that I’ve simply been unaware of?

Watch: Rick Ross – “Devil in a New Dress” – Without Kanye!
about 1 year ago - No comments
For those who know me in real life, it’s no secret or surprise that I think Rick Ross is one of the hottest rappers out right now. He’s got a great voice, a fantastic and ridiculous imagination and I love the way he tells his stories. His latest commercial release, Teflon Don was in my top ten list of albums for 2010, for all these reasons and more. Rozay, was also all over Kanye West’s genre-bending mutant monstrosity of a masterpiece My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (My number two album of 2010).
My favorite cut on that album is “Devil in a New Dress” which features the Teflon Don himself. Imagine my surprise, when I received word that Rick Ross shot a video for the song sans Kanye. I love it! I hope you do too!
Watch: Birdman & Lil Wayne – Fire Flame (Remix)
about 1 year ago - No comments
For those of you who don’t know who Birdman is, he’s the old guy that’s always with Lil Wayne in those Cash Money videos. Weezy thinks of Birdman as something of a mentor – thus ensuring that we will always be the recipients of barely lukewarm songs such as this one, the ironically named “Fire Flame,” clearly in honor of what the track lacks – heat. But please don’t let my digital hatred deter you, the video does have two redeeming qualities:
Watch: New Talib Kweli Video – “I’m On One”
about 1 year ago - No comments
BROOOOOOOOOOKLLLLYYYNNNNN! Talib Kweli, one of Brooklyn’s most conscious MC’s just released his latest video, “I’m On One” from his soon to be released fifth album, Gutter Rainbows (due Jan. 25th on iTunes). Kweli takes us back to basics, eschewing the high-minded concepts featured in many of today’s hip-hop videos, using live footage from one of his concerts. I can’t think of a better way for ‘Kwa to get his fans excited about his latest work. Check out the video after the jump.
Kanye Drops New Track With Beyonce – “See Me Now”
about 1 year ago - No comments
Kanye’s got a new track! (From this point on, I will be painfully brief, as I know that first sentence is enough for most of you.) The track is called “See Me Now” and it’s got Beyonce and Charlie Wilson in it. His new album is no longer called Good Ass Job. Whatever it will be called, it will come out November 16th. The track is after the jump. Enjoy 
Andre 3000 Drops New Single – “I Do”
about 1 year ago - No comments
Flamboyantly eccentric Outkast emcee Andre 3000 (“…Benjamin Andre to be exact…”) just did us all a big fucking favor when he dropped his latest single “I Do” on the Internets. Hopefully this means a solo album will be here soon. The track is midtempo soulful jam smooth as honey with its Lenny Williams sample and serves as a great contrast to Big Boi’s more upbeat fair from his recent release.
This is one of those tracks you should just pause whatever else you’re listening to that’s not THIS and DIVE IN! You can find the track right after the jump.
