Blu

Blu's "Wind(Terlude)" is one of those songs that you can just let run continuous. It clocks in at just under two minutes but could use an extended 12" vinyl incarnation. I tell you, the strings has got me something terrible.

From Her Favorite Colo(u)r that just dropped April 19 which I think is a prelude to his upcoming NoYork set to drop soon.

And,

There was actually a visual for "Blu Collar Worker" from 2007's Below The Heavens?

I Reminisce Indeed...

Camp Lo and Pete Rock = 80 Blocks From Tiffany's

"Mic Check"

Album dropping soon.

Pete Rock with the heat rocks, as always.

Lauryn Hill: Coachella

No new material here but this will have to do.

The Newness!

New J. Rawls!

"Best Producer On The Mic" featuring Diamond D., Oh No, and Kev Brown.

This is definitely first rate material. If you haven't put something out in a while, make sure it's a grade A banger when you eventually do. This is the lead from his upcoming full length The Hip Hop Affect set to drop on May 17.

LCD Soundsystem Live

LCD Soundsystem performs "All My Friends" at their final concert as a band at Madison Square Garden.

This is one of the greatest songs of the last decade. The reason why I find this song so endearing is that it channels elements of New Order circa the 1980's - my favorite group of that era.
