DJ Parler - Where's The Love (Mixtape)

From DJ Parler:

Similar in vein to my past Samplology mixes, this project contains some of my favorite love-inspired hip hop tracks, their samples, and love-inspired originals to some of your favorite tracks. No track listing, one mp3, enjoy...

Erykah Badu - Window Seat (Video)

One of my favorite joints of the moment. Badu never fails me. Video is inspired by a Matt and Kim song called "Lessons Learned" which was filmed in Times Square. I saw their video first several months ago and thought it was a pretty cool concept. Erykah spins her own take on the idea by putting it in a different context, shot in her hometown of Dallas. Still dope. Click on the image below to check out her new video premiering this weekend at www.erykahbadu.com

Here's the video that inspired hers:

Little Brother - Star (The Last LB Track w/ 9th Wonder)

In Phonte's words...

“This was recorded back in ‘05-06 at Young Guru’s crib sometime after the release of Minstrel Show. This was intended for “Leftback” as an iTunes bonus track but we just got word today that @9thwondermusic doesn’t want us to use it for whatever reason, and that’s fine. In any event, I’m not gonna let anything or anybody stop me from getting music to my fans. Fuck that. Enjoy. And as always, thank you for listening.”

If you've been paying attention to @9thwondermusic and @Phontigallo on twitter, some other 'ish is going on from one of the best broken-up hip-hop groups of our time... it's a shame when talented minds can't iron out their differences, but often it's the tension that yields way to some great art (reference damn near every great rock band that broke up). Guess eventually we'll see if that will be the case here, or if the bickering will roll on wasting time without anything worthwhile to be heard. Figure it out guys...

SHAWN CHRYS & STALLEY
SPECIAL GUESTS:
THE HEIRS * THE MAD AVE BOYS

This March 23rd, SOBs is hosting a showcase for Hip-Hop's masterminds of the underground scene. Neako the Rubix Cube, Shawn
Chrystopher, and Stalley will guarantee to leave audiences in awe of their impeccable ability to express themselves with matchless flow.

One of three talented rappers, Stalley, pursued an career playing basketball all of his life but an injury that impeded his
journey to the courts became a blessing in disguise when Stalley decided to follow his secondary passion, Hip Hop. Collaborating with artists such as Methodman and Redman have earned Stalley the recognition he deserves. Stalley's hard work ethics and determination have given him the title as an underground champion in the music industry.

Shawn Chrystopher, an independent and resilliant artist on the map, works to deliver the utmost original elements of Hip-Hop sound
with a combination of lyrics that leave listeners blown away. Shawn performs, produces, mixes, and masters all of his own music, thus justifying hthe California native's title as one of the most determined musicians on the scene.

Ambitious and self-made artist, Neako, has been thirsty for a chance to create new themes to rap music since a child. Recognized by peers and even Hip Hop legends such as Bun B, Neako has been able to display his glwoing talent on Hot 97, MTV, and Sirius XM. Neako continues to produce his own tracks and perform his unimaginable shows.
