Cause Co-Motion!

The 'Gum and The 'Fork both have some recent something-or-others about Cause Co-Motion...
so naturally, I headed to "them MySpaces" to complete the Random Music I've Never Heard Of trifecta.

Lo, and behold! I dig it.
Old sound, but still very trust-fund in disguise N.Y.C. at the same time. Car worthy, regardless.
Download their shit now, so you can scoff at your friends for not being down with it later.

Kasabian - Vlad The Impaler

Welcome back, Kasabian!
We missed you.
That's the jam, right there.

Jay-Z x Diddy - Maybe (Demo)

That's some smooth shit in progress.
Of course, the story is that this is from a studio session for Blueprint 3...but doesn't the vibe feel alot more like a leftover from American Gangster (remember, Diddy was the exec. producer)?

I suppose its possible that both are true in some way.

U-N-I x Ro Blvd: A Love Supreme

Finally!
I swear, I've been reading about this mixtape/album for what feels like 6 months. The world needed a proper collection of U-N-I music, and now we have it . . .for free!

Have some.

Must Be Love (Instrumental)

(What the efph does Wayne have to do with this?)

HA! I win.
Say what you want about the artists involved, but this is the cognac-sippinest, slow-grindenest, front-like-you-actually-have-feelings-for-somebody track to come out so far in'09. Can't tell you how happy I am to have an instrumental. Who needs the lyrics, really?

So, people of the interwebs: Do what you do. Record a better jam on this beat, You Tube it, make it known so I can rock it accordingly.

Also...I didn't know that this was originally a Day 26 song. Hmmm.

J*Davey - Slooow

I've said it before, and I'll say it every chance I get . . .
J*Davey's double "disc" was hands down the most "criminally slept on" collection of music for 2008. How the world hasn't latched on to them (and my future baby mama) is beyond me.

Mr. Oizo ft. Uffie - Steroids

While my brain is in Ed Banger mode, let's rock a bit o' this, shall we?
Let's shall.

Krazy Baldhead ft. Outlines- Sweet Night

I'm not even positive why . . .but something about this extra fresh.
And unexplainable freshness trumps all else, right? Right.
So let's roll with it.

Fall Out Boy ft. Joe Budden, 88 Keys & Murs - America's Suitehearts (Remix)

Yup, yup. The title is correct.
So does this officially confirm Joe Budden as an emo rapper (jokes, kids. jokes)?

The internets are gonna enjoy this.
Have some.

Prince ft. Q-Tip - Chocolate Box

Unfortunately, the actualy song is pretty dry...but it's so dope that this even exists that I had to post it.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Zero (MSTRKRFT Remix)

Zero (MSTRKRFT Remix) - Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Holy shit, today has been boring!
I was hoping for some new fire to carry me into the weekend. Or at least something new to play excessively loud as I make my grand entrance to the Giants Stadium parking lot tomorrow night for the RedBulls home opener, but noooooooo. At this rate, I'll be bangin' some old Boys Noize and pounding one of them $6 bottles of Brugal on my way in (not that I'm complaining).

But I digress . . .

This is pretty decent though. I'm especially a fan of the smooth bit that kicks in at the 2:00 mark. Now that I think about it, the breakdown in the middle is almost always my favorite part of this kinda jam. Go figure.

(Side note: How the hell is this the first time that I've mentioned MSTRKRFT on this blog?? That can't be right . . .can it?)

Passion Pit - The Reeling

Passion Pit are flying up my "I really like these guys" list. I've already convinced myself that their LP, Manners (May 19) is going to be incredible. In fact, I'd be stunned if it isn't.

Juan Maclean - One Day

Heh, that was entertaining.
Every time I think I'm officially over the whole "This looks/sounds like both yesterday and tomorrow at the same time" thing. Someone sucks me back in. Coincidentally, this video is what I imagine much of the Japanese countryside to look like.

Slaughterhouse - Move On

You know the song already...not you get some visuals.
Technically, is this a Joell Ortiz song?

KRS-One & Buckshot: On My Grind

(Shouts to MAC Media)

You ever read something so crazy that it takes a few minutes to sink in before you actually believe it? You ready for one of those moments? Here we go . . .

On August 25, legends KRS-One and Buckshot will be releasing a collaborative album.
Yes. Read that again.

What you see above is a quick preview of the first single, "On My Grind" feat. Mary J. Blige and produced by Black Milk.

Hip-Hop nerds rejoice!!!
