Humpday Helper: The African Elijah Wood You Never Knew

thos — Wed, 12 Feb 2014 18:32:27 +0000

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.

Bama Love Soul Provides Some Proper Monday Music Listening

thos — Mon, 10 Feb 2014 18:58:44 +0000

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.

Song of the Week- Jean Grae, “Kill Screen”

thos — Wed, 03 Oct 2012 14:11:42 +0000

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.

This upcoming Harlem spitta flows over some great jazzy, boom-bap production on his debut mixtape, “Just For Fun” (which is more like an actual album than just a mixtape). Kind of reminds me of Lupe Fiasco when he was first coming up, he’s got enigmatic energy and that hunger in his voice.
