To keep your mouths watering heres a quick throwback from Gang Starr’s 1991 effort Step In The Arena. Premo samples Marlena Shaw’s classic California Soul to amazing effect. Sometimes I even forget that Gang Starr’s version wasn’t the original. Gang Starr – Check The Technique
The Chaconne, as well as being one of the album’s singles, for me, is the standout track and features none other than one of OTU’s favourites, Matthew Santos. Their vocals integrate seamlessly to create what I can only descibe as something truly beautiful. Dessa (feat Matthew Santos) – The Chaconne New video from one of my favourite upcoming rappers right now. Posting this from the night before and haven’t had the chance to check it, so you’re going to have to judge it for yourself but I don’t expect this guy will let me down. Audio can be swacked from here.
This is expected to be on Officer Ricky’s upcoming Teflon Don. It goes without saying that I haven’t checked it out, and I’m in no hurry to do so. Rick Ross-Veterans Day ft. Birdman and Lil’ Wayne Diddy made one of the most expensive music videos of all time in an attempt to do justice to this epic track. An outstanding motivational song which sadly Biggie wasn’t alive to be involved in the actual video itself. A real shame given the quality of his verses in this. As always, if you haven’t got this already you can redeem yourself by clicking the red text below, I’ve also thrown in the 2004 remake of this song which features 50 cent and Lloyd Banks for good measure.

Our colleagues over at 365 Albums A Year reviewed AZ’s Murray-acclaimed 1995 Doe or Die album, and it’s definitely worth a read for fans of his work/our own Throwback Thursdays.
Anyway, I came across this track Vanilla Twilight today and quite liked it. He’s got a synthpop/electronica/indie hybrid sound which is pretty easy listening. I’ll be looking to check out his other material, and I think a lot of people will surprise themselves if they give this a go. Those of you who have dabbled with alternative music before will find this really easy to get into. Imagine a whole city of owls. Scary sh*t.
Ludacris-My Chick Bad ft. Nicki Minaj Visuals for the Cash Money collabo, and the first single from Rudolf’s upcoming second album. Audio can be swacked from here. If you haven’t seen the Season 6 episodes yet, turn away now. One of the many great things about Lost is the fan community: we’re all a bunch of overthinkers who have way too much time to dedicate to Lost. A brilliant chap on YouTube has put together the original 815 flight next to the mind-bending new version and it makes for great viewing. Personal favourite highlight: at the moment the plane splits apart in the original flight, look at Jack’s face in the ‘new’ flight. Brilliant.

The track continues in that great vein, and it’s a fantastic spin on the already-great Röyksopp track. Some really nice lines in this, and as I said the track was already cracking so the beat and hook are great. Definitely one of the strongest tracks they’ve made thus far, and a contender for my favourite remix of theirs. Nice artwork too! The Five One-Remind Me ft. Röyksopp Kicking the day/night off with another captivating, funny and interesting look at these guys. Some of the music they’re making sounds superb, and I can’t wait for it to be released-the track at the end has some great potential. Gold getting some YouTube laughs in resonates brilliantly with me (and a few others!) who pretty much spend our evenings finding stupid sh*t on YouTube! Listen closely to the track playing at the start of the video too. Sounds good eh? I’ll be dropping that off later for y’all.
I realise its been mass radio silence from me lately, I’d claim I have been busy, but in reality I’ve been drunk and lazy, often both. So here is a self proclaimed Mega Post of what I’ve been listening to recently. To find out if Soulja Boy can in fact write like me… → Continue Reading It Never Rains, But It Pours- A Tempest Mega Post
The link below will (eventually, after some intro) take you to a page whereby you can listen to snippets of most of the soundtrack. There are some huge names on there, so be sure to have a look around at the various tracks. The track in question here, In Transit, sounds like a really good alternative track and I look forward to the full version. Alice In Wonderland OST Snippets
I have to credit Tempest for giving me This Providence’s Who Are You Now? album many moons ago: I finally listened to it a month or so back, and I absolutely love it. There are some unbelievably good tracks on here, and out of a 13-track album I’m still regularly repeating at least 9 tracks, which says it all for someone with the turnover of music that I have. Keep reading please. Thanks. → Continue Reading Rock Throwback: This Providence A few weeks back we did Kool G Rap; an artist who has arguably influenced the most artists in hip-hop. This week we’re looking at someone who without, we wouldn’t have even heard those artists. MC Serch. Read on folks. → Continue Reading Throwback Thursdays Vol 12
Here’s a version with no DJ tags and in even better quality. Always nice when we get goodies like this, especially for such an enjoyable track. Definitely one to grab. B.o.B-F*ck the Money ft. Asher Roth
