South Bronx 1979, Zimad starts what turns out to be a pretty long standing presence in graffitidom. His style is consistent and varies all at the same time.

Here’s a pretty great video from Rhymesayers royalty, a little NSFW in a good way (but still tame enough to stay up on youtube.) Shout out to Robert Palmer’s “Simply Irresistible.”
Flavorwire gives a big helping hand this week by offering up a post “20 Great Albums You Can (Legally) Download for Free Right Now.” Some of the groups I’ve heard and some I’ve only heard of. But it’s a pretty good looking list including David Byrne and St. Vincent, Dj Food, Captain Murphy, Death Grips, Clams Casino, and more.
Get your bytes on, here.
Though likely not related to recent revelations about certain spy agencies in certain countries. It appears XKCD has outed The Common Folk Collective’s control over the viral internet.
Fat Tony drops some more sharp-witted southern swagger. Prodigy and Alchemist bring the expected eery, doom. The White Mandingos (Murs, Sacha Jenkins from EgoTrip, & Darryl Jenifer of Bad Brains) take on the dangerous territory of conceptual punk/rock/hip hop and nail it, including a cover of Minor Threat’s “Guilty of Being White.” They’re definitely flippin the color line on this joint. JNatural rounds out the week with a feminine but no less powerful Bad Woman Rising.
When people seem to hype up and keep talking about an upcoming release it gets annoying, but I gotta say I am looking forward to the new Boards of Canada album. So there, ’nuff said.
