Jay-Z x U2 “Heart Of The City” (Sunday Bloody Sunday Edition)

Via-Vicariousmusic

Taken from “Heart of The City” that Jay-Z performed in Dublin back in ‘06...

Seeing as they were in U2’s territory, Green Lantern sampled “Sunday Bloody Sunday” and had Dante Hawkins sing the hook for this mash-up...

Q-Tip on A Tribe Called Quest's Body of Work

i love this kind of shit...

Go pick up Q-Tip's new album The Renaissance this tuesday 11/4, you won't be disappointed - shit is very reminiscent of that old Tribe vibe - though not exactly up to that par (could it ever be again?), it definitely flows along the same wavelength... here's a taste from two of my favorite songs on the album:

Move

We Fight / Love feat. Raphael Saadiq

Nike "Team of Heroes"

New Guitar Hero Commercial

there's a guitar hero in every one of us...

The Foreign Exchange "Daykeeper" feat. Muhsinah (VIDEO)

one of the more artistic music videos i've seen recently especially in terms of imagery pairing in sync w/ the music... pretty dope

Musiq "If U Leave" feat. Mary J Blige (VIDEO)

had to post this because a) i'm an old school musiq fan from aijuswanaseing (or however u spell it) who won't front about having 'just friends' in heavy rotation 8 years ago in high school as i hopelessly scoped out shorties after class in the wack cavalier haha and b) mary j and musiq just are just butta soft together. great song 4sho.

Skillz "For Real" Behind The Scenes/Trailer (VIDEO)

Skillz - For Real & Wrap Up 2009 from Three/21 Films on Vimeo.

Commissioned and worked this video shoot on Monday in Brooklyn/Woodside, Queens NYC with my long lost cousin / brother-from-another-mother director extraordinaire Rik Cordero. Good times.  Was funny to finally meet Rik after repeatedly getting cases of mistaken identity at random industry events/parties.

Full video to follow, stay tuned...

The Return of Slim Shady

He's baaaaack.... no really.  He's back.  

Em is a monster on this 2 min teaser track, it's definitely official.  Reminds me of when he was still hungry and consistently spit insane, inspired rewind-that-what-did-he-just-say type flows - pre-Slim Shady EP, during the Rawkus/Scam/Royce 5'9'' collab days, or even that verse we all love on Hova's "Renegade."  New album Relapse coming soon.
