VIDEO: MARA HRUBY – THE PANTIES (MOS DEF COVER)

I had the pleasure of hosting a show with this lovely lady and I seriously think she’s hitting some home runs with her style, voice, and message. Last year she dropped her EP From Her Eyes, collection of cover songs that were originally made by men. Through her gentle voice and stylistic nuances the listener forgets the lines from the commercial releases and her own variations. I love it. Check out this new video and download Ms. Hruby‘s EP below.

NO KNOWS DOPE | AUGUST 20X

Okay so, thus far we have had NKD’s on some str8 up heat to kick start it all, then Dilla, then Beats, then Love , then Stereolab, then Portishead, then we had last months double NKD for Stevie & for this month I had to go with my man Busa Busss!! So many people sleep on Busta Rhymes! I never see him any ANNNNNNNNNNNYBODYS top 10 or top 20 for that matter. I had to dead that by doing a No Knows Busta. 60 pinche tracks! & even THAT was narrowed down. These are just my all time favorite Busta songs of all time. The others will be saved for a sequel somewhere down the road, but for now I think these will suffice. If you’ve always thought like me… then this is FOR YOU! If you sittin’ there reading this like… “really No? Busta?” then stick yo’self Pretty Tony & hit the jump to DL like yesterday!! (my bad for the 1 day delay)

DJ JAZZY JEFF AND MICK BOOGIE PRESENT-SUMMERTIME

I was at a cookout yesterday and Will Smith and Jazzy Jeff’s “Summertime” came on. There really is no such thing as having an event during the season without hearing this and other classic summertime songs. So, right on time for the 4th, Mick Boogie Undrcrwn and Jeff teamed up to create this mixtape with almost 50 hits from De la Soul to Quincy Jones. Audible goodness for days. Check out the tracklist after the jump.

JAYDIOHEAD

Sometimes we get schitt in our inbox where it’s an immediate BLAH… & we just delete off top. Then there’s the times where the email is actually addressed to us & not on some mass email or BS like… “the most anticipated yada yada yada” where we just delete off top as well. Sometimes… they are decent. & Sometimes they are more than decent. This schitt right here doe my nigga? Producer Max Tannone‘s  Jay-Z vs. Radiohead mash ups were brought to life through this visual mix of his Jaydiohead project. The dancing is dope. The steez is flava. The directing & entire schitt the way it was shot is pretty damn clean & movie-esque… doesn’t feel like I’m watching a regular ass video. I think its pretty fly… what about you?
