Nigerian goddess Nneka teams up with J. Period for “The [...]

People act according to the season that they born in
I love when really divergent and disjointed interests collide into one. I’m gonna call this post a 2fer.
First, Padma Lakshmi’s appearance on ”Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” got my swimsuit area all excited. Add Mos Def and Talib Kweli as musical guests with the Roots and I could not be happier. And then I got happier. The backup singers [...]
Fall like a domino
Dope video for a dope song — Jack White’s The Dead Weather’s “Cut Like a Buffalo.” I really think Ghostface needs to hop on this beat. Pronto.
Welcome to my golden era
“Live From New York: 1994-2001 is a dope mix of music put together by Kevin Casey. If you’re around my age and have that same genealogy in terms of the music you were bred on, this is a must have. I put together a similar LaCheese’s “My Golden Era” a few years ago, and its [...]
Good Lord!
New music from Freeway, Mad Skillz, De La Soul, KRS-One, Buckshot, Eminem, Hova, Raekwon, and others. Fresh new hip hop. Get your Brett Farve on. Get sick like Mike Vick. Some straight Lion isht.

New Tennille!!!
When she got an a$$ made of diamonds.
Do I ever you steer you wrong?!?! I mean do I???? And even if you don’t like something, it’s not like it cost you anything, right?? So you’ve got no excuse not to download this and no reason to hate.
So here’s what you gotta do. Find the link [...]

PBJ x Hip Hop = Love Explosion
Now I’ve always been someone on the fence with this whole mash-up bidness, but you can’t hate on good music, right? This is an example of good music. Mick Boogie’s newest tape and salute to the trio Peter Bjorn & John is finally here and I for one am feeling it. It’s hard for me [...]
The Messengers – Bob Marley Edition
All ya’ll know about Robert Nesta Marley, but is it “Legend”-Bob or Peter Tosh/Bunny Wailer-Bob? Cuz if it’s just “Legend”-Bob you know, ya need to step your game up. Early Bob is a mix of Jamaican ska/rock-steady and Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions. It’s got the best of island music combined with mid to late-60s [...]
Plug Tunin’
Love to see that Plug One, Plug Two, and Maseo are still doing the damn thing. They were here in Mpls last Thursday and the show was dopeness. They may be pushing 50, but the music and the live show are still completely relevant.
Quick sidebar: I still put the first Spitkicker Tour up there with [...]
The Messengers – Fela Kuti Edition
I’ve been waiting on this one…and I’m hexta amped that it’s the first one of the three-part series that gets released. And to my surprise and utter glee, each artist – Fela, Dylan, Marley – is getting their own mixtape. G’yeah!!! No more words are necessary, just download this isht ASAP!
Right click and download K’Naan [...]
Dear Atlantic Records….
Quit effin’ with my guy Bobby Ray aka B.o.B!!!!
I’ll let Shake of 2dopeboyz.com explain:
I’m sure it’s well known, but I’m a pretty big fan of Mr. Bobby Ray. And I think it’s safe to say that 94% of the dopeboyz/girlz that frequent the site are as well. It’s also well known that I despise Atlantic [...]
Hold on, John
Much love and respect to my guy Marcus Lo on the image up there. Keep it coming, shun!!!! Click here to check out some more of his work.
Here it be — some more free music for ya’ll. Little bit more of everthing. Some side projects from TV On The Radio and Vampire Weekend (although not on [...]
Completely necessary begging
This project sounds dope. Two of my favorites — J. Period and K’Naan — hook up for a tribute album for three all-time greats called “The Messengers.” Ordinarily the combination of Fela Kuti, Bob Marley, and Bob Dylan would seem somewhat disjointed, but it all comes together when you’re talking about K’Naan (not to mention that under [...]
Spec Boogie + Maxwell = G’yeah!!
I’m excited about this. MeLo-X made an instrumental tribute to Maxwell’s new album, BLACKsummer’s Night, which was hot. Now my man Spec Boogie is rhyming over the whole thing. I’ll let SBeezy explain and I will go back to the job search…..
While putting the finishing touches on Summer Movie Season I downloaded Melo-X’s Maxwell remix [...]
Can’t get right
Now this is what I call summer music…DJ Benzi and Get Right Radio’s Summer 2009 tape. Got a little something something for e’body on it. Serisouly a’body. Hosted by Chester French and plaid shirts, featuring the likes of Kid Cudi, Kings of Leon, Mike Jackson, Kanyeezy, Coldplay, Jodeci, R Kelly, Ice Cube, Drake, Arrested Development, [...]
Problems
A very fitting title as the temperature rises. Me + stress = bizarre and strange behavior. My musical and verbal Tourette’s has hit an all-time high. Oh well.
My boy JP sent me this a few days ago. Its a new track that was supposes to be on Twista’s new album but ultimately the sample didn’t [...]
2-4-6-8 who do you appreciate?
I hope that boy is me.
Dang. Again (I guess double dang). Still letting this whole Jacko thing soak in. Told my sis-dukes (whose due date for her first thing kid was on Thursday) to tell her baby to come out, the coast is clear, Mike Mike’s gone, and children can play freely without fear of touching. Anyways…..
Here [...]
Until I get a buzz like my *#@@^ Chris Mullin
Lah-oves me some Wale. And you should too. Creative as all get out, dope rhymes, and definitely gets the bigger pic. I’m kinda busy right now (cuz I’m kinda like a big deal) so that’s all I got. DMV stand up!!
But click here to download the free mixtape from Wale, “Back to the Feature.”
I love it [...]
Please Bushy don’t hurt ‘em!
Gotta be quick so I’m fittin’s to fire this off and get back to Con Law. Ugh.
First up is a nice little album from a couple guys that have been on here before….The Kickdrums. This is them exploring their not so hip hop side and I must say I kind of like it. A couple [...]
Get while the gettin’s good
“If Santigold truly wants Brooklyn To Go Hard, and I’m a Brooklyn resident trying to Go Hard… and she shuts it down, is Brooklyn, by default, not going hard?”
Damn, that might be too deep of a thought to start my day off. But when it comes to the complexities and nuances of the mixtape subculture, you [...]
Congratulations on the mess you made of things
I’m seriously all over the place. Anyone that finds him or herself flipping between the Twins and the Lakers/Nuggets, pretending to study property, pouring over some new music, and reading some Rushdie has issues and may need to seek medication, or at least a bourbon.
So here goes the manifestation of this Schizophrenia - LaCheese’s Congratulations. It features the work [...]
Sincerely, Weezy F. Baby
Some thoughts on what has been a sickness of mine since Saturday - the NBA playoffs - from none other than Wheezy F Baby aka Birdman Jr. aka Lil’ Wayne. This duke cracks me up when he’s talking sports. (when you’re done reading, click here go get some good Lil’ Wayne and Drake music over at 2dopeboyz)
Just so no [...]
