post N.A.S.A. | “A VOLTA” ft. Date Farmers Art (video, mp3)

The production duo N.A.S.A. drops a very creative video for their track “A Volta” featuring Sizzla, Amanda Blank, & Lovefoxxx off their debut album The Spirit of Apollo which landed mid-February.

The folks over at Logan took the incredible & original artwork of The Date Farmers and brought it to life by creating an entire 8-bit, ultra-violent, drug-war-ravaged cityscape of corruption, deceit, and heavy narcotics.

The video is chock full of evil bosses, sadistic henchmen, vigilantes, important briefcases, ghetto birds, and piles of cash.

If you haven’t checked out artwork by the Indio (California) based, Date Farmers, you are certainly sleeping on your art game. You can spot our boy DJ Alf Alpha DJing their galleries & lacing their projects with tunes as he’s part of their crew.

Full album N.A.S.A. album stream after the jump, and “A Volta” mp3 attached below:

post Raekwon The Chef l Criminology 2 (ft Ghostface Killah) & Yes Sir (mp3)

The Chef and Tony Starks do it again. The first track, Crimonology 2, is a strong song with a nice Scarface sound bite in the intro. The second track, Yes Sir, took me a few listens to warm up too. I am not a fan of Crooked I, honestly, but I think he did a pretty good job on this track. I know there has to be some die hard Crooked I fans out there so I hope you enjoy this track. So start your Saturday right and grab these songs. Peace!

Jay Electronica has been become quite a sensation over this last year. Thanks to the mixtape entitled “What the Fuck is a Jay Electronica” most people at least recognize the name and give him credit for a sound that reminds some of the good ol’ days of Hip Hop. To me, his sound is straight-forward with great production and lyricism that you should not be sleeping on. Check out his latest track below, I dare you not to nod your head.

post Ghostface Killah l Ghostdeini The Great

January 1st, 2009

Filed under: 90s, Art, Hip Hop, R&B — J.Paz @ 1:33 pm

Tony Starks. Ironman. Pretty Toney. Ghostdeini. GFK. Whatever you to refer to this man as, it is impossible to deny that Ghostface Killah is not only one of the most interesting characters in  the Wu Tang Clan but within the entire sub-culture of Hip Hop itself.

Over this past year, I have grown to appreciate this man more and more. The two LPs that have not left my iPod this entire year are Supreme Clientele and Fishscale. And why might that be? I think it is the way he has perfected his sound. Ghosftace has this swagger that is grimey and soulful all at the same time. He’s got the ability to capture you within the first few bars almost every single time and hold your attention for the rest of the song.

Ghostface has had such a successful career that recently his a compilation of some of his greatest hits along with some remixes of those songs have been released. I recently picked this up and I wanted to let you all know that this LP is a must for any Ghostface fan or the new Ghostface who has discovered him recently and wants to get a crash course in greatness. And all for you Latinos reading this, Ghostdeini would be a dope gift to give out to your favorite Hip Hop fan for El Dia De Los Reyes Magos

Below are links to three of my favorite cuts from the LP, plus a personal favorite Wu Tang track featuring Ghostface.
