So I dropped this song last night (after "A Milli", wow... groundbreaking). anyways, it didn't go over that well, but i'm feelin it, and i'm feelin this video, and you know I'm feelin Beyonce. She is the new school Tina Turner, for real.

GO GET IT

What a year....

2008 was a reeeeeal good year for music... and leave it to the Mixtape Kings MICK BOOGIE and TERRY URBAN to shut it down with a mix of the best joints from 2008.

Happy New Year to you and yours...

The best of 2008 mixed by Mick boogie and Terry Urban GO GET IT

Darkness!

Can someone explain to me how can a WHOLE ISLAND get clunked out of commission like it did last night? At least the spot downstairs from my crib had a working grill... holla at your $10 pulled pork sandwiches. We had a fun-filled Friday after Christmas planned with SOUL CLAP @ 39 hotel, but instead... DARKNESS!

but do not fret... we just moved the fun to TONIGHT! come thru!

Merry Christmas!

...and Boston Sucks! I know, I know... just a regular season game... but that was prolly the best Christmas game in a while. And we got some redemption from last year. Merry Indeed!

also, Kobe is releasing a new shoe, check out the new vid showcasing some ill kicks with Mike Epps, DJ AM, and Mr. Colorado.

"All I really want for christmas is.....

...Skrilla in my stocking" - Daniel Merriweather



The "Stop Me" Duo of Mark Ronson and Daniel Merriweather remade the classic Christmas song from Paul McCartney. I think they did it some 2008 justice (especially the last 30 seonds or so). Enjoy!

The Alchemist making "Keys To The City"

ALC chopping up that "Keys to the City" track that featured the lovely Nina Sky and H.N.I.C. Pee. I found this on his blog where I also found a pretty interesting read about a trip he took to upstate nowhere NY to visit Jailbird Pee. Read it here ALCHEMIST BEATS: Live From Behind The Wall. Bookmark it.

This track was featured on the infamous Can't Noc The Hustle Vol.1. You know... That top 25 on your ipod touch.

there was a moment at last nights show with Q-Tip I thought to myself "this dude is no ordinary dude". listening to classics from Tribe to his solo cuts made me happy to have been there. Q-Tip's new Album "Renaissance" is probably one of the best albums this year. take a listen.

Q-Tip- Renaissance

Semi throwback...

By the way... they call this girl the next Mary J., and amazingly enough Keisha attempts to do Mary's classic "I Love You" on her new album... I'm on the fence with this one... tell us what you think.

Maya, a.k.a M.I.A., has been Grammy nominated for Record of the year for her song "Paper Planes" (produced by Diplo). Amazing.

To acknowledge this... we have available for download the Mix that really put her "on the map" called Piracy Funds Terrorism mixed by Diplo himself... it was just a few years ago these two, along with Low-budget (the other half of Hollertronix) graced our infamous "Get Fresh!" party (which on the same night, by the way, Barack Obama was in the house!!!) Anyway, they have come a long way. And now they can add Grammy Nominated to their names. word.

Timeless

I'm not gonna try and get all "Hypebeast" on ya'll... but this one really caught my eye! It is no secret that Louis Vutton is one the most reputable brands ever... and their marketing schemes has always been top notch! From the infamous Collabs with such notables as Murakami (how crazy is the 5th avenue store display... the whole building???) to ads featuring notable figures such as the illest "007" Sean Connery and Mikhail Gorbachev (gangsta!), L.V. never ceases to amaze. Their newest venture is collabing with Ms. Vogue herself, Madonna. She looks incredible, and for those who come to any of our events... there's as much of a chance you'll hear a Madonna joint as you would any other artist, she just that timeless.

*side note* speaking of Louis Vutton... how funny was this flyer???
