Have you noticed we’re getting bored of wordpress blogging? Switching to tumblr soon as someone fixes our theme for us…

On some polite semi-nerdy musical genius shit—a good attitude.

I’ll be honest and say most of what I’ve heard from Mos’ new album has been wack. He’s one of those dudes I will always check for as a result of the Blackstar/Black On Both Sides era. I’m not sure what company (Current?) he’s linked up with to present this but this is a million times better than the “official” video. If you’re bored and want to see him faded, talking a lot of shit, and spitting a fairly serious freestyle that’s HERE. That was the first “promo” I heard for the new album, and for awhile there I thought shit was on. Maybe it still is, we’ll see. You can check an album sampler for The Ecstatic HERE. It has dope album art, I’ll give it that.

“Drake” is happening. The LAF is co-signing. If you tried fucking with him but couldn’t get into his music, it will grow on you. The hipsters like him (the hipsters I know), the girl I work with who hasn’t bought a CD since Tha Carter III loves him, and he does okay as far as Hip-Hop dinosaur purist types go. The cross-over appeal is serious. His humility, in my opinion, makes him hard to hate. Yes he was a child star, he’s Canadian and does not have a G pass and apparently that’s not Hip-Hop. But this dude has managed to create the biggest buzz I can remember in my nerd rap life. I’m young though so I guess that doesn’t count for much.

Point being this is your last chance, HERE’s his mixtape, HERE’s one of the best songs from said mixtape JSE was up on in December (the first time I heard Drake), HERE’s another, and above is an interview by Semtex in Hyde Park, London.

I had to throw this up after JSE posted the Nate Dogg, especially since we don’t usually post that much West Coast. This is a RAR file of 30 or so separate tracks, too big to upload as one. Put together by Matthew Africa.
