Google Audio cooler than you?



So I’ve just discovered Google Audio or “Godio” as I’ve renamed it due to the fact that more people look to Google for answers than they do the big man himself. It really was only a matter of time before Google launched their own music service. While there’s still some speculation of whether or not it will be a streaming or download service or both I think that we can all agree that Google moving into the digital music market is no joke and may even give iTunes a run for their money.

While I do enjoy the Apple brand I think that my alliance with Google is stronger. I already use a number of their services which for the most part I trust. Not only that but each service blends seamlessly together gathering information and allowing personal customization to cater to each individual user which is a huge plus. There are also endless marking possibilities with Google’s focused ads. Just think, next time you hipsters are listening to the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s, Google can throw an American Apparel ad at you so you can buy those shiny pants you’ve always wanted. I actually touched on the topic several months ago when I was talking to Lifter Baron. We were kicking around how great of an idea it would be to fully integrate marketing possibilities in an audio player to enhance the user experience. Google already owns Youtube so pulling official music videos or other related content to the music player would be an easy task at best and integrating the web search function could bring band merchandise right to you with little to no work which is really a win win for everyone.

Apparently in 2008 Google launched a different version of the Google music service. I imagine the difference is that unlike the Chinese version we’ll probably be allowed to download and listen to anything we want and not be restricted to Chinese Nationalist music and Michael Jackson.

I’ve been unable to find an official launch date of the service but as soon as it’s live I’ll be sure to start using it and who knows maybe I’ll even phase out my beloved iTunes player.

Jake One drops new video "Home" off "White Van Music"

For those of you who love where you’re from as much as I do this video and song struck home pretty hard. I’m not from Seattle, I’m not even from MPLS but I’ll rep it hard because it’s the place that’s taken care of me it’s where I grew up and were my family is. You gotta love the love that these Seattle dudes got for their city!



Finally I’m happy to present the video to my tribute to Seattle, “Home”. The song features MC’s Vitamin D, Note, Maneak B and Ish, who have all big influences in music. Mix a Lot brought out his orange Lambo and Nate Burleson repped the town and the Seahawks as well. Super Director Zia did a phemomenal job creating the perfect visual for the music and now its time for the world to see it.

Brother Ali "Good Lord" Video Premeire!

Here’s our dude Ali’s latest video off the “Truth Is Here EP” for “Good Lord”. Text below was written by Ali…



I’m glad to finally show yall the new video for “Good Lord” from the “Truth Is Here EP” that dropped a few weeks ago.

The song is about spirituality and how it works alongside music. I get criticized from both angles on this issue. Some religious people say my music is too crude or obscene. People who hate religion say I talk about it too much. My feeling is that, when done right, spirituality and art are one and the same. The particular faith or medium of art almost doesn’t matter. That connection to each other is what we’re seeking. “Something spiritual happens when them hands get to clappin’.”

My good friend Rik Corderro shot the video at a community event we did in the historic Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz Center in Harlem NY. This is the place where my hero, Malcolm X held his later meetings and was assassinated in 1965. If you pay attention, you’ll see Popmaster Fable (Rock Steady Crew) and Ali Shaheed Muhammad (Tribe Called Quest) along with a host of prominent Muslim teachers and activists. Just wanted to show you how we get down from time to time.
