Dear Mr. Beckham...


Sir,
I'm cookin' up one HELL of a welcome home gift for you. Enjoy the flight over, jackass. It's lookin' a little cloudy. See ya Thursday night! Oooooooowwwwwwwww!!!

Sincerely,
- Faux Fur & Soccer Shirts (Empire Supporters' Club member 104)

Krizz Kaliko - Misunderstood



This is a jam and a half, but WOW is he treading close to the Cee-Lo line.

KRS-One & Buckshot - Robot



Behold: The visuals.
For those who were either asleep, or have short memories, this song came out in April...so don't start with the "D.O.A." nonsense.

MySpace Showcase: Eureka Brown

Mr. Brown (no, not THAT Mr. Brown) has a message for you:


Free jams! Get some.
The utter collapse of MySpace as a social network has given birth to the rise of "smaller", more creative, grassroots movements from some really talented and interesting artists.

Wait...wasn't that the point of MySpace in the first place?

Either way, add Eureka Brown to the list of folks to keep an ear on.

Random Inquiry...



If anyone knows of a jam that sampled the intro of this song, please hook a brotha up and hip me to it. Check the side bar for contact info.

Thanks.

Arctic Monkeys - Crying Lightning



Yes? Maybe?
Do I like this?
Give me 5 listens and a week.

Bloc Party - One More Chance (Alex Metric Remix)



I'm still not big on the original (like, AT ALL), but this right here ain't too shabby.
Have some.

The Dead Weather: Horehound

FACT: If you dig Rock and/or Roll, and don't like The Dead Weather's shit, then you take yourself and music entirely too seriously.

The album will be here on the 14th, but you can jam it on Facebook now.

Michael Jackson - P.Y.T (Demo Version)



I'd never heard this before.
DJ Brainchild busted it out on the new episode of Gordon Gartrell Radio.

Long Ass Weekend Recap (pt.1)

Ok...back and finally awake again after a long ass weekend in the land of Tar Heels ans Wright Brothers. Let's see if I missed anything worthwhile.

Let's see...

Royce has an EP dropping later today. He let a jam with the rest of Slaughterhouse loose yesterday.


We got this Alchemist track with Travis and Wayne a few days ago, but it was an unfinished version that wasn't supposed to be out yet, so Alchemist has "freed the beast" and let loose with the full product (the 2nd Travis verse). I really hope this catches on. Kid is nice.


Joell Ortiz ft. The Kickdrums - How To Change

...and if you don't have The Kickdrums album yet, get on it.

Oh, this one is good. You remember Loon, right? Ever wonder what happened to him? Well here you go:
