[video] Black Collar Biz & The Blackout Kings - "Revolution (Live)"

khaldub@gmail.com (khal) — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 17:27:28 PDT

This was the final song during Black Collar Biz's mind-blowing performance at Art All Night 2013. Look at the excellence up there; he's got a DJ, full band (with violin), a tap dancer, back-up singers AND A GODDAMN DANCE GROUP! It was powerful. SAGE was in the house, Trenton is killing it, and I'm just glad I could see the homey kill it like this.

[video] Black Collar Biz "I Can Still See It All"

If you missed Black Collar Biz and the Blackout Kings on Saturday night at Art All Night Trenton, you fucked up. I was talking to Kasso yesterday morning about Collar's progression, and seeing him grow over the last few years, and seeing him on stage with a band, ripping, keeping it hip-hop and so much more? High Grade Artistry is more than just a sly couple of words, we live this. Rapping over Bonobo in spots they brought life to? You're far from ready for what he has coming...

RIP Trenton Atelier.

The Combat Jack Show: Foxy Brown Episode

Via TheCombatJackShow: "“Foxy did this. Foxy did that.” There’s been mad talk about the Ill Na Na since like forever, and while ya’ll keep staying with your face in her puss, I guarantee you ain’t ever hear Foxy talk in first person like this. From her pops bouncing when she was 4 years old, to dating Haitian Jack at 14, her and Jay Z moving from the bench to the studio to the top, getting sucker punched with the deafness, her relationship with Nicki Minaj, that bid in jail.. I put money on it that this is the realest shit she ever spoke.

She took all your shots and now she’s firing back. You think she can’t hear you? You’re about to hear her loud and clear b.

You gon’ learn today."

Hood Congress - Burning Bridges

khaldub@gmail.com (khal) — Mon, 03 Jun 2013 09:54:59 PDT

I didn't even know the homegirl Mayday was working on hip-hop. I knew she'd done some production in a number of other genres, but making beats AND rapping? And it's dope. I mean, as much as cats talk about old school hip-hop, you listen to their shit and it doesn't even mesh with their influences. Mayday took it back to the essence. We're talking '87. Grab the Burning Bridges mix, download the album, and stream the entire project below.
