VIDEO: MICHAEL JACKSON – THIS IS IT

I can’t believe it’s already been over half a year since Michael Jackson, the greatest entertainer that ever lived passed on. Spike Lee does him justice with a collage video created for his final single, “This Is It”. MJ, shoot some creativity down to these new artists man, they need that love you had for this music.

KNOW:JUANDER – THE LAST NEEDLE

Know:Juander is a perfect example of the new breed of artist. Sure, plenty acts in the industry now provide the soundtracks to their own words, crafting deliveries over beats that they themselves chopped and concocted. Few, however, are able to do it uniquely, speak about great topics that NEED to be heard, and be selfless enough to show you how it’s done. They say you can’t make a man fish, but Know:Juander goes as far with his new joint “The Last Needle” as putting the rod in your hand, no pause necessary. Check it out and then download the zip containing the single, instrumental, and 3 samples used to construct the song. Partake!

YAY OR NAY: THE 3RD

Hailing from Cleveland, OH, The 3rd is a five-member group (Rashad, Pa.Flex, Co City, Shakes and Blaksmif) which aims to think outside the box and have their music reflect their train of thought. I’ll let them tell it:

1979 was a long time ago. But ever since that time we have heard every kind of flow. Some will stay, some will go, but what you should know?? The test of times are written just so we can grow. From bible scriptures to the life that we live everyday, The 3rd is the voice of the people that get pushed away. From back streets to big stages, battle tested and war ready.

TANYA MORGAN – POSTED + BROOKYLNATI SAMPLE MIX

When Tanya Morgan (DonWill, Ilyas, & Von Pea) slid through Chicago their last go round, they built with our homies at RubyHornet and elite Chicago producer Tony Baines to create “Posted“, a new gem for RH’s Closed Sessions project. Definitely dope. Also, Brooklynati’s finest recently released the Brooklynati Sample Mix to the masses so you can see how they developed one of the stellar projects of ’09. So get both of those, and then hit the jump to see footage of the group creating “Posted“. Partake!
