Groundhog Day
Okay, campers, rise and shine, and don’t forget your booties ‘cause it’s cooooold out there today! We all know the basics so I’ll skip the dog and pony show. Punxsutawney Phil saw no shadow and therefore we can expect a nice early spring. My true love for Groundhog Day stems from it’s inspiration of the film starring my all time favorite actor Bill Murray. ...

Atmosphere posse cut "Minnesota Nice"
A little over two weeks ago Rhymesayers & Atmosphere announced they’d embark on their five day Welcome To MN Tour across the February Tundra. Selling out Mankato, St. Cloud & Duluth in mere hours of tickets being available, there’s no denying a Minnesotan’s hunger for a great live hip hop show. Yesterday, Atmosphere dropped this deep posse cut featuring each rapper...

Onry Ozzborn - "That Good" f. Sapient
The link for this track showed up in a text message this morning from my dude Onry and I’m glad it did. Infectious upbeat synth heavy production mixed with Onry’s warm yet ominous word play is exactly what we need in 2011. Shout out to Sapient for laying down the fresh hook. Peep the track below off his upcoming full length album Hold On For Dear Life which you can pre-order:...

Em, Hov, Dre, 50 wrote a weird rap song
There’s something hilariously ironic about some of the most successful yet least relatable (in terms of lyrical content) rappers of our time complaining about the lack of lyrical content in rap music today. The track starts out with “It is not about lyrics anymore, it’s about a hot beat and a catchy hook”. How many club bangers have these fools put out? Now...

Video: Blueprint "Radio-Inactive"
Blueprint dropped his first official single off of his highly anticipated sophomore album Adventures in Counter-Culture yesterday. Peep “Radio-Inactive” below and see what the new album is all about. When he sat down to work on this sophomore effort, Print began with the dark, soulful and sample heavy hip hop of the early 90’s, but soon found himself hitting a creative wall....

Dump - A cover of Prince's "1999" you'll love
I was recently turned onto That Skinny Mother Fucker With The High Voice which was released in 2001. It’s a solo project from James McNew the bassist from one of my favorite bands Yo La Tango. I haven’t been able to stop listening to the entire album but his cover of “1999” is pretty brilliant. The music is pretty down tempo and mellow and is definitely a great twist...

This video is totally bizarre but amazing. There are so many subtle things going on in the video. Upside down paintings in the office, a stop motion emu, woodland drum sessions, fruit maracas and a whole weird cast of people. Can you guess which part of the video is my least favorite?
