VIDEO: MIKE POSNER – COOLER THAN ME

(I feel kinda dirty posting this lil ass MTV video :-\ )

New video from Mike Posner off his first mixtape (that we posted a minute ago here). I was introduced to this guy’s music a little over a year ago and I can honestly say that I’m a fan of it. Cool to see all the plug he’s getting now.

QUANTIC – DOG WITH A ROPE

Quantic is preparing to drop his upcoming album Quantic Presenta Flowering Inferno “Dog With A Rope,” out July 13th via Tru Thoughts.  Many are familiar with his solo work, or his various group projects like The Quantic Soul Orchestra and Quantic and his Combo Barbaro, and this particular Flowering Inferno project for “Dog With A Rope,” aims to draw similarities between Latin and Reggae rhythms, blending and fusing various Tropical, Caribbean, African, and Latin styles.  Recorded in his Sonido Del Valle studio in Cali, Colombia, Quantic continues to make his mark as one of the most prolific as well as diverse musicians of recent history.

ROCK THE BELLS ANNOUNCES LINEUP FOR 20X

Looks like we got a new trend on our hands this summer. Artists have been performing the album’s that set it off for them in their entirety as of late to draw the heads to a show that the heads would normally give up on. Let’s face it. They downloading your new schitt & they give a fuck if you performing down the way way unless it’s with so n so & so n so & so n so. OR you perform the schitt that made them fall in love with you to begin with. This is where we are @. Deal with it. I aint mad either. Cuz yeah… this makes me want to go. Rumor’s say that Lauryn will be added to the bill to perform the whole Miseducation (URB went as far as droppin it on their site/zine yesterday… I call malarkey, but we’ll see, it’s still early) I also heard RUN DMC may do a few dates… I dunno. I can’t call it yet. What you think of the line up thus far tho & all the trill schitt I just spoke? Your thoughts…
