Cashius Green: The Motto feat Pheo

Jag har ingen aning om vilka de här är men dom kommer hårt med denna. I videobeskrivningen står det dock att ett kommande projekt vid namn "Sunny$ide Up" är på gång till första halven av 2012 från Cashius Green. Kan va nåt. Oh yea, det var efter att ha lyssnat på låten en andra gång som jag förstod att dom har rosa pyjamas och pancho med sombrero på sig som referens till texten. Eller så har dom flippat det här med originell klädstil helt. Trillwave be the motto.

Dokumentär: When We Grow...

En alternativ vinkel på ett ämne som i detta land (och många andra) är bannlyst från att ens tas upp i en seriös diskussion. Se den:

"When We Grow...This Is What We Can Do" is an educational documentary concerning the facts about cannabis. In this feature length documentary we explore everything there is, from industrial hemp to medicinal cannabis use, from the origins of cannabis prohibition to the legality of growing equipment.

A film by Seth Finegold and presented by Luke Bailey.

Real Scenes: Berlin

saxat från Resident Adviser:

"For its latest documentary, RA visits techno's current capital city.

Real Scenes is a series of films, supported by and conceived with Bench, in which we explore the musical, cultural and creative climate within electronic music's key destinations. We'll look at the role singular figureheads—producers, DJs, promoters—play in making their city's music scene a point of world-wide interest. We'll also look at places, spaces and inspirations, seeking out the essence of what gives these hyper-local scenes a truly global resonance.

Berlin has always been a special place, and especially so when it comes to electronic music. When the Berlin Wall came down in 1989, techno became the underground soundtrack to the reunion between East and West. In recent years, it's become an international destination for ravers—a cheap place to party with clubs that are renowned throughout the world.

Techno has become a business in the meantime. Yet Berlin still maintains a credibility that other cities lack. To understand why, RA and Bench have teamed up for another edition of Real Scenes. We went to the German capital eager to find out about its unique history and the reasons behind its continued relevance."

Life´s a Bitch: Then You Die

Visualizin the realism of life and actuality
Fuck who's the baddest a person's status depends on salary
And my mentality is, money orientated
I'm destined to live the dream for all my peeps who never made it
cause yeah, we were beginners in the hood as five percenters
But somethin must of got in us cause all of us turned to sinners
Now some, restin in peace and some are sittin in San Quentin
Others such as myself are tryin to carry on tradition
Keepin the schwepervesence street ghetto essence inside us
Cause it provides us with the proper insight to guide us
Even though, we know somehow we all gotta go
but as long as we leavin thievin we'll be leavin with some kind of dough
so, and to that day we expire and turn to vapors
me and my capers-ll be somewhere stackin plenty papers
Keepin it real, packin steel, gettin high
Cause life's a bitch and then you die

Life's a bitch and then you die; that's why we get high
Cause you never know when you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die; that's why we puff lye
Cause you never know when you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die; that's why we get high
Cause you never know when you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die; that's why we puff lye
Cause you never know when you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die

I woke up early on my born day, I'm twenty years of blessing
The essence of adolescent leaves my body now I'm fresh in
My physical frame is celebrated cause I made it
One quarter through life some God-ly like thing created
Got rhymes 365 days annual plus some
Load up the mic and bust one, cuss while I puffs from
my skull cause it's pain in my brain vein money maintain
Don't go against the grain simple and plain
When I was young at this I used to do my thing hard
Droppin foreigners take they wallets they jewels and rip they green cards
Dipped to the projects flashin my quick cash
and got my first piece of ass smokin blunts with hash
Now it's all about cash in abundance, niggaz I used to run with
is rich or doin years in the hundreds
I switched my motto -- instead of sayin fuck tommorrow
That buck that bought a bottle could've struck the lotto
Once I stood on the block, loose cracks produce stacks
I cooked up and cut small pieces to get my loot back
Time is Illmatic keep static like wool fabric
Pack a four-matic that crack your whole cabbage

Life's a bitch and then you die; that's why we get high
Cause you never know when you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die; that's why we puff lye
Cause you never know when you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die; that's why we get high
Cause you never know when you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die; that's why we puff lye
Cause you never know when you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die

Schoolboy Q: Blessed

14:e januari släpps den efterlängtade uppföljaren till Schoolboy Q's "Setbacks" från 2011 och iom den senaste preview'n så höjs förväntningarna ytterligare ett snäpp på "Habits & Contradictions". Det har dykt upp låtar sen i oktober som trots vad jag antar har varit ett bra år för Schoolboy Q bara låtit mörkare och mörkare. Det börja med "Oxy Music" (prod THC!), sen "My Hatin' Joint" och så vidare. Det har även kommit ett par youtube videos med nya låtar och bäst där är klart "There He Go" och "Sacrilegious". Vilka som hamnar på "Habits & Contradictions" återstår att se.

Och nu sist häromdagen kom "Blessed" tillsammans med Kendrick Lamar som en spik i kistan på eventuell misstro att "Habits & Contradictions" inte skulle kunna leva upp till hypen som bubblat mer och mer den senare tiden.

A$AP Rocky: Pretty Flacko

A$AP Rocky droppar en preview till kommande A$AP mob debuten för att kicka igång ett gott trill år för oss alla, samt för att bygga upp hypen till februari då den droppar. Proddat av Spaceghostpurrp som går från styrka till styrka just nu. Antar att han fått lite bättre grejer att arbeta med nu då ljudbilden och mixningen är klart bättre än tidigare produktioner. Check it:
