New Trigga and Drizzy forthcoming off that ‘Passion, Pain & Pleasure’ set, September 14th.

It’s tagged but tolerable.

Bump it.

Here goes another video for a banger produced by Andre 3000 off ‘Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty’. A dope collabo featuring this rather hard YelaWolf cat, one to definitely keep the peepers on.

Large shouts to Big Boi (a recent follower of our humble Twitter); his comeback LP’s received some serious critical acclaim and it’s fantastic to see a legend from our younger years maintaining consistency with his craft.

Disclaimer: If Big Boi’s label behave irrationally and shoot themselves in the foot by blocking this video, I’ll re-up when a working copy hits the net again.

If you remember the Bilal video we put up from this collective of ingenious musicians, then you won’t hesitate to press play.

Here are new live visuals from Miguel Atwood-Ferguson’s ensemble. It features Flying Lotus and a flip of his joint ‘Drips’ from the recently released ‘Cosmogramma’ plus a reworking of ‘Take Notice’ from the late lord J-Dilla. Los Angeles should be very proud of this moment in time.

The audio is also a free download via Mr. Atwood-Ferguson’s Bandcamp.

Family,

Just a quick message to say that I (Speeakz) am going on holiday for a 2 weeks as of today!!!

A couple homies and I are off to sunny Cali for a much needed, well deserved holiday. We’re heading to Los Angeles and then moving on to San Francisco…So beyond excited! Never been to the Westcoast before, so am looking forward to seeing what these great cities have on offer. Hit us up with some recommendations!

Don’t worry though PinBoard isn’t going anywhere, it will remain as active as it normally is, only for the next 2 weeks it’ll be run by my co-pilot Shan (@shanphearon) and dope contributors S.H.E (@S_H_E_) & Danny (@Def_Danny). These guys/gals know exactly what they’re doing and have more musical knowledge between them to rival most music fiends. So, follow them on twitter if you’re not already and make sure you keep coming back to PinBoard as normal.

As for me – I’ll see you guys on the other side. I’ll post some snaps of my travels when I get back!

Much love & continuous thanks,

Speeakz

New track from Mr New Jack City ‘Christopher Williams’….ANOTHER 9th Wonder produced banger (today has been a good day for the 9th heads). This track is a real soulful gem. I had my standard music screw face on whilst listening to this one loud in the cans with a neck breaking nod. My gaard. Enjoy

Here is the new video offering from BBK’s Skepta. Of late I have not been feeling any of what the man behind some of the scenes best tracks has had to offer. Still…the man is doing his thing and doing well and you cannot knock the hustle.However…another bling video, another rented whip, some bad wardrobe choices and some samples that I swear were on my Yamaha keyboard circa 92. Make up your own minds…

Mr Ronson has come correct AGAIN with the latest video offering from his third studio album, Record Collection. This vid for ‘Bike Song’ from mark and The Business Intl features Kyle Falconer & Spank Rock. Thus far the videos have been on point…long may it continue…

Ninja Tunes I salute you. The good people over at NT HQ have been dropping free musical bombs as part of their 20th Anniversary and this week one of my favourite groups of all time ..the Cinematic Orchestra..are on giveaway duty.The two previously unheard tracks were recorded in 2002 for a proposed Cinematic Orchestra radio show that was never broadcast and bwwwoy do they not disappoint. Make sure you cop the Ninja Tune XX box set when it drops! We will keep you posted here. Also make sure you check out Cinematic playing at the Royal Albert Hall 14th November!!!

‘Time & Space (Radio Session 13th May 2002)’ – a radically different early version of the epic tune on Ma Fleur featuring Leonard Nimoy samples.

‘Brother/The Revolution (Radio Session 13th May 2002)’ – a tune built around samples from the classic Gil Scott Heron track.

Anything by Murs and 9th has my attention. Peep the new video directed by the G that is Kenneth Price…the director behind many 9th Wonder produced bangers. Check more of Mr Price’s work here.This is definitely not my favourite video, not much else but a filmed concert with additional typo. Still…the tune is a banger nonetheless.

Brand new Foreign Exchange? Oh, it’s a great day!

Taken off their new forthcoming album Authencity, which drops October 12th, ‘Maybe She’ll Dream of Me’ is produced by Nicolay & Phonte and has Zo! on the piano. This is just…Ah, just press play/download already!

The music these guys produce is exactly (and I mean, exactly) the type of music I love. It’s incredible how on point they are. Cannot wait for that new album.

Download: The Foreign Exchange – ‘Maybe She’ll Dream of Me’

P.s Gonna add a stream and direct download in a minute, hol’ tight.

Loving this collaboration. Nothin’ wrong with a little bit of Blues either. The Roots are bringing something out of John Legend that I’ve actually been waiting for – he’s sounding crazy soulful here. Never really been impressed with his previous albums (not saying they were all bad, but not something I really check for). His debut was definitely his best. So yea, glad to hear him singing this.

The song everyone is talking about gets it’s official video release. Cee-Lo was always the man, but this song just made him even more so. Breakout hit of the year? I hope so!

Update: Good ol’ Warner Bros have once again decided to block their video content. Yea, the mind boggles. Will update soon as.

With the summer officially over, it’s only natural we begin to think of hibernation – however, the September issue of Live in LDN should (hopefully) alter that mind state and get you excited about what’s coming up this month! Gigs, live music events, spoken word sessions – this city remains alive! Hit the jump to check out the best of the best on offer this September in Live in LDN Town…

New offering from one half of those Rawkus Kidz in the Hall….this had me head-nodding in a ‘ard way this morning. It’s that krunchy nut cereal kind of music…thoughts please

Shouts to 2dbz

This dropped no less than 24 hours ago and we’ve actually been arguing at PinBoard HQ over wheather or not to post this (Speeakz’ co-pilot S.P. writing here because Speeakz’ refused to drop this audacious/semi-sacrilege remix and he wants the good folks at home to know that, lol).

Kanye West is either an arrogant blaspheme or a post-mod God.

I’ll sum up initial sentiments at 5am this morning: surreal.

We’re going to let our readers (the underground AND the overground heads) decide for themselves.

Hands down the best video/visual experience I’ve seen this year. Arcade Fire, my new favourite band (I know they’re not ‘new’, but I’ve only recently gotten into their music) have released a brand new interactive, inspiring online video for their new single ‘We Used to Wait’ off their brilliant new album The Suburbs (the LP which made me a fan).

You need to have Google Chrome to watch it, so if you don’t – just download (trust me, it’s worth it) and if you don’t want it after, just delete it. You’ll then need to go thewildernessdowntown.com and type in the address of the house you grew up in (yep, double great idea – free market research!) and just leave your screen to do what it does (multiple pop up’s will appear – leave them).

Simply brilliant and a testimony to forward thinking artists/teams who are embracing modern technology.

Despite a ‘minor setback’ on Mickey’s 7th mixtape, I’m Better Than You, he’s still dropping a new freestyle. While we wait for the new tape, let this tide you over.
