In honor of the NBA I asked the MJF crew to list a favorite song from a current/former basketball player, or something in relation to the sport. The results are below! Bauce Sauce Follow @BauceSauce Shaquille O’Neal – “You Can’t Stop The Reign” ft Notorious Big Basketball players rapping are often terrible. The best they [...]
In 2003, Chicago MC Chancellor Bennett, better known as Chance the Rapper, was 10 years old. At that point, it’s unclear whether the “rapper” surname was a predetermined pseudonym for Chance or a product of an the era in hip-hop to come for the 312. But, while rap was being bowled over that year by [...]
The Slimed_10 selects mark our second collaboration with the mysterious PIZZA SLIME conglomerate (“10 Wet Songs” here). When I gave them a shoutout in The Guardian they reached out and wanted to build. We share a mutual love of Half Baked and that’s about all I know. That and they’re music industry insiders gunning for [...]
Anyone who knows anything about comfort and/or sadness is familiar with the art of the favorite sweatshirt or sweatpants, or both. You might spend years unknowingly looking for the right leisure clothing item and then suddenly when you least expect it, it happens. Day after day you end up thinking about how as soon as [...]
The slightly intoxicated trio stopped by Statik Selektah’s radio show last week to freestyle some bars over a familiar A$AP Rocky beat. Chance gets my vote for the best verse out of the three, but that’s not to say the other two didn’t kill it too. Check it above and let us know who gets your [...]
Big Boi & Theophiloctopus London might have have had a mammary-centric banger with “She Said OK” but Hom Ham N Cheese seems to have perfected that formula with “Tiddies On My Head.” He actually sounds a lot like OJ Da Juiceman. Are we sure OJ didn’t get fat and change his rap name? That dude [...]
Blogfather Marc introduced me to Sami a few months ago with her Willie Nelson cover of “Crazy.” Signed to King Fantastic DJ/producer Troublemaker’s Hollyrock records, “Go On Darling” marks Sami’s first single and video with the masterful label who has been working on her debut. Before this though, she “spent a year studying music therapy and volunteering [...]
Marc Goone. I’ve never heard of him until a few days ago. He hit me up on the Twitter and asked for my e-mail. I obliged (while betting that I was about to get some terrible music). Even though I don’t mine through hundreds of submissions daily, his e-mail made an impact and caught my [...]
“Do charitable acts of fantasy to the pussy.” Everything after that above line could’ve been terrible and unintelligible, and I would’ve posted this song. The video could have just been a close-up shot of animal dung, and I would’ve posted this. Why? Because their is too much violence against the pussy in today’s rap canon. [...]
Yo, all of my favorite producers have been making these uplifting jams, gettin’ errbody all excited for summer. The dude Alf Alpha‘s #pizzawave beats have been rockin my ears since that legendary Sahara Tent opening set of Coachella 2011. This new one, Light Arrow, seems to be the first glimpse at an upcoming 2013 project from from the [...]
The kaleidoscopic clip for Sahtyre‘s “Broccoli” (which Saht directed himself) matches the frenzied Hippie Sabotage production and the rapid fire delivery of the upcoming LA emcee. Sahtyre is equal parts TDE & Odd Future. Here’s hoping molly stays in 2013 and more artists make some interesting shit on acid. Sahtyre’s LSD mixtape is here and [...]
Some new Chuck Inglish, Aston Matthews & Kashflow from Chuck’s upcoming Droptops mixtape, out May 23rd. Beat is crazy and Aston killed it. Hope to see more from Aston & Chuck.
The first time I heard Norway’s Truls, I wasn’t sure what to make of it simply because it is so different than anything I’ve been listening to lately or really ever. “Out Of Yourself” is a daring debut single that kind of explodes around your ears with flowing falsetto and draping guitar chords, compelling you to [...]
A lot of girls who are in a serious relationship with music will most likely think, “shit, is this about me?” upon listening to “Her Favorite Song.” Looks like Mayer Hawthorne connects with his female audience. I was definitely not expecting a Ware/Hawthorne collaboration but they work so well together and now I want more. [...]
Lovelife live at Irving Plaza, 5.9.13. Photo Courtesy of Justin Bettman. I have a well documented love for Lovelife. My flirtation with their music started when I saw them open for The Neighbourhood at the Studio at Webster Hall last year. With every new release, I fell more in love with their anthemic pop songs mixed [...]
The beautiful Ms. Kelly Rowland offers up plenty of honesty on her latest record, “Dirty Laundry.” The songstress opens up about her mixed emotions she had when Beyoncé’s solo career started taking off and about a physically abusive relationship she was involved in, one she confesses temporarily turned her against Bey. You have to appreciate [...]
