Basic Vocab – "A Better Way" Album

Posted by | Music, UGHH | No Comments

Basic Vocab’s sophomore album “A Better Way” is out on all digital stores today! It was released as an iTunes exclusive on April 13th, and will be available on eMusic, Rhapsody, Amazon, and hundreds of other stores later today. Pick it up if you are a fan of Talib Kweli, Blackstar, A Tribe Called Quest, Little Brother, etc. Definitely worth the purchase! We worked hard on this album. Check out the album review on AboveGroundMagazine. Shout out to Skam2?! for the really dope cover. If you don’t know who Skam2?! is, he was the artist behind Eminem’s “Slim Shady LP” cover as well as A Tribe Called Quest’s “Beats, Rhymes, and Life” cover.

Video: Nottz – "Cars"

Posted by | Hip Hop, Music, UGHH | No Comments

VA Beach seems like a breeding ground for dope hip hop/pop producers. Of course you’ve heard of Teddy Riley, The Neptunes, Timbaland, and Danjahandz… I’m from Virginia and I spent a good deal of time working at Teddy Riley’s Future Recording Studios. Nottz has always been pretty active in the music world… He’s produced records for Drake, Busta Rhymes, Skillz, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, The Game, Asher Roth, etc. This is a viral video he made for his upcoming solo album.

Video: M.I.A. – "Born Free" (NSFW)

Posted by | Alternative, Music, Music Videos, Pop Music | No Comments

If you don’t know who M.I.A. is, you’ve probably heard her music (e.g. Paper Planes) in the movies “Pineapple Express” and “Slumdog Millionaire.” This video is pretty long and uh… kind of NSFW. I like M.I.A., but I might need some time for this to grow on me. UPDATE: Also, according to Billboard, it was apparently banned from YouTube for graphic violence…

Video: Red Cafe feat. Fabolous – "I’m Ill"

Posted by | Hip Hop, Music, Music Videos | No Comments

So the first time I ever heard of Red Cafe was in my younger days in law school. I somehow managed to weasel my way into VIP at some club in Miami, and by the end of it… I found myself sitting on a couch next to P Diddy. I was just about to speak to him when Red Cafe’s manager breaks in and says “yo Diddy, I just want to tell you about my new artist Red Cafe!!!” Next thing you know, Diddy talks to him for a minute and then gets up and walks out of the room… Now I see that Red Cafe is signed to Bad Boy, and I never ended up speaking to P Diddy. LOL. Anyways, this is a great record… Props to Red Cafe. Check it out.
