…Really like this tune. Am I mad, or can you really hear Michael Jackson singing this tune?

Again, this dropped earlier – for those who didn’t catch it, check out Trey Songz’ new jam featuring Hip Hop’s newest bad gyal Nicki Minaj. Can’t even deny this tune – sometimes all you need is an R&B banger.

…Oh yea, I *heart* Nicki Minaj. Her verse >>>>

Tol’ you it was coming. This dropped earlier today, it’s going to be my commute music in the AM. If you guys don’t already know, 6th Sense is one killer producer who’s music you really really need in your life. Just download this dope free mixtape and listen for yourselves.

Haven’t blogged the entire day. It’s a madness. Been swamped and judging by my calander, it isn’t going to let up for a minute – so apologies for the lack of posts. I could easily catch up with today’s material but thought I’d go forth and drop something brand spanking new.

‘Funky Butt (Part 1)’ comes off Madlib’s Medicine Show #7: High Jazz – which is an ‘all new’ Madlib Jazz production…

We told you about these guys back in April – I actually had to take Full Crate & Mar’s Conversations With Her EP off my iPhone because I was literally listening to it all the time. I was, for a while, ignoring everything else because I couldn’t get enough of that damn EP. It’s so bloody fresh. Suite903 sit down with the pair to discuss their video, said EP and some other thangs too.

Tunji is featuring on Canadian producer Incise’s new track entitled ‘Rising (Redux)’ off his album Daily Methods. The LP is out now in Japan and is the follow up to his 2008 debut Nobody’s Story. I like this…

Villa Manifesto drops July 27th.

Another new video from producer 6th Sense who will be dropping It’s a 6th Sense Beat Yo!! Volume 2 album (for free). This time it’s director Derek Pike’s turn to interpret 6th Sense’s track, saying “when 6th hit me up about his idea to have a bunch of different directors turn his instrumentals of his album into visuals, I knew I had to jump on board. With no guidelines and no lyrics to influence my concept, I was able to get creative and tell whatever story I wanted”. That’s dope.

While Electric Wire Hustle were in London Town for their Deviation session last week, we caught up with them at  the Red Bull Studios to record the latest instalment of our ‘Rehearsal Rooms‘ series.

Exclusively performing their massive tune ‘Waters‘ from their debut album for us, we captured the magic between Mara, Taay & Myele as it unfolded in front of our eyes and cameras.

Electric Wire Hustle kindly performed two tracks for us during this session and sat down for an exclusive interview – these will be dropping over the coming weeks – I cannot wait for you to see that goodness too. Keep it locked.

‘Waters’ is available via BBE right now – you need this tune/band in your life. Much love to the whole EWH crew Mara, Taay, Myele, Benny Tones & Hayley – thank you for being so cool and open to what we wanted to create.

Please note: ‘Remedy’ Rehearsal Rooms is still very much operational, but are branded as such when The Remedies are the backing band.

Didn’t catch any of the T In the Park festivities, just about to watch these Eminem performances. This dude seriously needs to do some UK dates – quicktime!

The guys over at Jungle Gym Magazine just shot me over this interview they did with our homie Melo-X. In the interview Melo discusses his debut mixtape Mustafa’s Renaissance and runs through his catalogue to date. He also touches on his ‘sound’ and a bunch of other things. Cool interview…

Pretty much the only Usher song I’ve liked as of late…

Solo music from a Cool Kid? Aiiight, let’s have a listen. Sir Mikey Rocks dropped two new tracks over at illRoots – he explained that these were made with producer Produktionix and that they will not feature on the album but are ‘just somethin’ to keep the summer rollin’. More will be following apparently too…
