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.
Ne-Yo once again defends his sexuality during an interview with ‘Hello Beautiful’, saying that “there’s nothing [he] can do to prove that [he] is single”. The soon-to-be-father also explains that the mother of his child is his best friend, who together, “decided” to have a baby…
In celebration of his performance and Rinse FM’s 16th birthday at Fabric next week (10th September), Roska’s offered up a brand new, never before released track entitled ‘Play Gamez’. Listen and download from the soundcloud player below (to download click the downward facing arrow). Peep the flyer for event at Fabric after the jump…
Anything attached to Georgia Ann Muldrow instantly gets my attention, put Stones Throws’ MED into that equation and it’s all good times. This track not only features Muldrow, but was also produced by the lady herself. Musical porn, audio butter – whatever you want to tag it – this is it. That thumping bass, the soulful chord progression, the elusive but distinct percussion,(hear those bells?), combined with MED’s staple flow and Georgia Anne Muldrow’s unfuckwithable vocals – yea, I got my soundtrack for the day. This will be on repeat for the foreseeable future.
Melo-X & Jesse both sent me this track yesterday, but I’ve only just reached my computer today, so while I’m a little late – it’s definitely better than never. Boykins has been covering Andre 3000′s ‘Prototype’ at his live shows for a minute now and so he decided to record it properly to feed to the masses. Enlisting the help of Melo-X & Trae Harris, they set to work to recreate one of the most beautiful songs of our generation – their way.
…Jesse’s vocals are n-e-x-t on this. If anyone could achieve this, it’s him.
