Being an ardent music fan and a fan of Elijah Wood since his Wilfred days (where’s more episodes?!), I never put the two together. Luckily for us OkayPlayer/OkayAfrica did cuz apparently he is a fairly legit crate digger, specializing in Africa and Psych from France and Brazil, and he even started a record label Simian records. Finding all this out, OkayAfrica recruited him for their Africa In Your Earbuds series.
Proof is in the pudding.

Monday. I actually have off today but it’s still Monday. Thankfully DJ Rhadu provides a pretty dope, chill mix of future soul, electronica, r&b, funk, and hip hop that feels just right as the icicles drip outside my window. The new single by J-Live, “Money Matters”, makes it worth it all on it’s own.

For those who don’t know, Skratch Bastid and Cosmo Baker are a couple of solid, been doing it dj’s, they know their music back and front and when and how to play it. They got skills. So when they come out with a mixtape together about some of the more decent songs of the past year (including some timeless joints that’ll always be welcomed no matter the year) you know you want to check for it. Get your weekend poppin’. Ha.

Or just go ahead and download it, here.
Roofeeo (NinjaSonik/Death Set/Tv On The Radio) is the homie. And he’s here to drop some summer heat on us. Pull up a kiddie pool and an ice chest full of High Life (weed and pizza too), it’s summer beyotches.
Who’s got that love hangover? The indubitably sexy audio doctors Rocky Rivera and Dj Roza are here with a cure for dat ass.
Moody, deep, and dark. Jean Grae shoots, directs, edits, conceives, births, crushes, destroys, kills, and does everything else her own goddamn self on her latest video. This is hip hop from the underground, as in Edgar Allen Poe was resurrected from his 6 foot deep grave, given a sex change, and started emceeing. Always great to see video as art and not just a cheap promo, the way it should be.
Cake or Death really needs to come out now. But in the meantime, free download of her mixtape, Cookies or Comas here.
