Roc Marciano-76 (Directed by Jason Goldwatch)

One of the best album’s of the year, Reloaded.

The Lions

Can’t wait for their album to come out,”This Generation” brought to you of course by Stones Throw. They’ve been giving us music you can feel since 1997, if you didn’t  know somebody shoulda told you. Light one to this!

Sean Price “MIC Tyson”

Sean P heavy on the campaign trail with a couple vids just before acclaimed MIC Tyson released TODAY, buy this shit!  Production credits including 9th Wonder, The Alchemist, Evidence & Babu, featuring such artists as Freddie Gibbs, Buckshot, Pharaoh Monch and more.  For those that cry “Hip Hop is DEAD,” I implore you to listen to this.  Warning: You may break your neck.

Hilarious hurricane Sandy coverage.

“Seanwuar” interviews Pharaoh Monch in the Nardwuar style, good shit.

Dag Savage (Johaz & Exile) “Cali Dreamin'” feat. Fashawn, Co$$ & Tiombe Lockhart

While some of you listen to that wack shit, I’ll listen to this shit.

Jaylip: Cavalier

Owning a brand is more than a job nowadays, it’s a lifestyle.  One of the opportunities afforded, should you be so lucky, is meeting/making relationships with artists, designers and other brands, both inside and outside of the realm of your specialty, that’s lifestyle.

A while back we met this cat Cavalier.  Boasting, “The best kept secret in rapp,” his style is personified in his rhymes as a Fashion Aficionado, teacher, shaman, chief and rapper.

He was kind enough to sit with us for another installment of JayLip, alongside a sleeping (rather passed out) Quelle Chris!  HAHAHA!  JayLip is an urban slant on the 10-questions interview format made famous by James Lipton on In the Actor’s Studio.  Our interview follows the same general rhythm, sort of a ping-pong line of questions spanning from love to hate and mortality.

Sunday’s Inspiration: Morrissey “Every Day is Like Sunday”

Colbert’s introduction of Morrissey before his performance on the Colbert Report was hilarious.  Dude is old as fuck, but he’s still a Top 5 Alternative Rocker to me.

“Are you ready to ROCK… yourself back and forth in the shower while crying?”

Sean Price-STFU part 2 (prod. Alchemist)

“Mic Tyson” finally drops on 10-30. Shut the fuck up!
