VIDEO: SIR MICHAEL ROCKS – FOREIGN FEATURES (DIRECTED BY MIKE CARSON)

Illroots‘ Mike Carson commanded directorial duties and Mike Waxx got behind the camera for this new joint from Sir Michael Rocks of The Cool Kids entitled “Foreign Features“, produced by Tye Hill from The Productionix. The joint itself is superb, and Mikey rocks over it with ease. Carson does his thing from a directorial angle too, quite simple yet very effective. Kudos, sirs.

BROKEN BELLS

I found this via the homie Mike Waxx, and it’s very very ill. Broken Bells is a group effort consisting of James Mercer of The Shins and Dangermouse of Grey Album/Gorillaz/DangerDoom/Gnarls Barkley/…. fame. Basically that means you should listen to their music. Check out “The High Road” and then hit the jump to stream/DL two more tracks, “October” and “Vaporize“. The project comes out March 9th. Indulge!

MIKE WAXX & ILLROOTS PRESENTS: DOOMED

Okay, say what you will about the guy, like how he’s a flake at his shows (he has been notorious in 2007 for sending fake MF Dooms to play his shows). I personally still have faith in the dude. A massively talented emcee and producer his weirdness is just a part of his greater legacy. So what a better way in celebrating this masked villain’s notorious persona than a DOOM THEMED MIXTAPE! › Read More…
