I know that “Bring It Back” is old by Atlanta-standards… but keep in mind that Waka Flocka’s “Oh Let’s Do It” didn’t hit national radio until a year later. I figured I’d post this for my out-of-town readers. This is killing the clubs out here. You can watch the video after the break.
Freerunning is a form of acrobatics where participants use urban landscapes and structures to do various stunts. Check out some video from the Tempest Freerunning Academy below. Pretty crazy.

One of my favorite Jay-Z songs – produced by the Neptunes of course. Listen to it below. As an added bonus, I’m adding in the studio footage of Pharrell describing the track to Jay, and then playing it for him. Very dope!
Of course this is in an old song… but not old enough to be a throwback. I just realized I never posted this! Check out James Pants’ song “Thin Moon” (off the album Seven Seals) as well as Mayer Hawthorne’s cover of it. I actually heard the Mayer Hawthorne cover first… both are great. Between MED, James Pants, Madlib, and Mayer Hawthorne, I’m loving this Stones Throw roster. Anyways, videos after the break (as always)…

A South Florida rap artist, by the name of Lyrikill, is making a name for himself in South Florida… How do you get some airtime on television for free?

So, I was hanging out with Greg Tecoz aka G-Fresh a few weeks ago at the tattoo shop, and I ran into an artist named Tony. He told me about his group, GlamourLyke, and played me some of the music. I love it! I’m going to be working with these guys soon… This song, “It’s True (I Love You)” features Dreamer from Hollyweerd. Shout out to Tony! Check out the video after the break.
