JoJo Pellegrino – Best Man (produced by Lee Bannon).

Lee Bannon beats are in the vein of Madlib and Alchemist’s: harsh, twisted, and suited to crazy rhyming. Sphere: Related Content

The Hood Internet – Pumped Up Kicks (Foster the People feat. Hollywood Holt), Remix.

The Hood Internet take Foster the People’s jam Pumped Up Kicks (I mentioned it briefly a few weeks back) and slow it down into an equally awesome counterpart. This was an official remix by the duo so Hollywood Holt’s verse was crafted specifically for this. It’s a nice fresh take..

Calvin Harris- Feel So Close, Single.

This single has been floating around for only a few weeks now and remixes are already flooding Soundcloud. Personally, I think Calvin Harris has made a single that doesn’t need someone else tampering with it. It has an updated feel from his previous work but still ultimately sounds like a..

Pitchfork Music Festival- Day Three, Review.

The third and final day of Pitchfork Music Festival marked the end to an overwhelmingly exhausting weekend. Sunday happened to be the first day that sold out when tickets first went on sale a few months ago so needless to say it was packed. The crowd was relatively lethargic as..

The S.L.O. – Purple Onion, Video.

As much as I love Slow Motion Soundz, I have to admit that their videos are usually unwatchable. The “How Far” video looks like a Windows 95 screensaver and “Inner Circle” was just uncomfortable on multiple levels. But they finally found the right visual approach with “Purple Onion,” which looks..

J-Love – Mind on my Money (ft. Meyhem Lauren, A.G. The Coroner, Take-It, Killa Sha).

I usually don’t mess with videos that look like after school projects, but the video for J-Love’s “Mind on My Money” works because it doesn’t aspire to be anything more than a budgetless rap fest. No visual effects, just some shady shots of a casino floor for atmosphere. Sphere: Related..

Phil Ade – A Different World, Mixtape.

Phil Ade is a competent, if generic rapper from DC whose new tape has a high concentration of dope tracks. It’s an amalgam of blog rap topics and styles: weed, parties, inspirational ‘just tryna make it’ joints, etc. The man can pick beats and he can even drop an exciting..
