One of my favourite and sorely unappreciated rappers is Chi-town’s own Rhymefest. Currently signed to producer Mark Ronson’s Allido Records, he is set to release his 2nd album, El Che, at some point this year (Wikipedia has it set for this spring. We’ll see.)

Well, I dunno if anyone checks the blog roll here but I recently wrote a guest post for the dope mp3 blog Bounce/oz about the history of the talkbox. Of course, the blog’s title comes from Zapp & Roger’s classic, “More Bounce To The Ounce”. Anyway, a comment on that..
Something Awful has an amazing collection of No Limit style album covers made for seemingly unlikely artists like They Might Be Giants, Elton John & the Wiggles. It’s done for their weekly Photoshop feature, Photoshop Phriday. Absolutely frickin’ brilliant, well worth a look. Pictured above, the Mamas & the Papas...
Late pass please! I just saw this on E!, it looks like Hip Hop has FINALLY infiltrated young kids television programming with Hip Hop Harry. I can see it now, kids during recess claiming they are hip-hop cause they watch this. But why isn’t there a Rock N’ Roll Robby..
Damn, I haven’t done one of these in a minute! I missed Remix Tuesdays too this week, I’m sorry y’all. I’m in Florida chilling right now and I get a bit lazy. Anyway, I was checking for places to listen to DJ Premier’s Sirius radio show, Live at HeadQCourterz..

Inspired by our friends at Hip Hop Is Read and Oscar Peterson’s recent passing, here’s a tribute to all the great artists we lost in 2007. Musicians, writers, directors, and more. This isn’t everyone who died in ’07 (you can view that list here), just those that affected us at..
A Bay Area duo, Bash Bros, that I don’t know a whole lot about shot a video for their great song “Joy Riden”. I was hipped to it by the excellent GRANDGOOD, who first put up the song on volume 28 of their regularly posted audiocast. I’m diggin’ the production..
This HipHopDX.com interview with GFK is about a week old but fuck it, Ghostface interviews are always interesting and give a lot of insight into his creative process. Some real talk here: Prior to signing with Def Jam, you would release an album about every two years. Do you just..
