i guess you can say that seeing killa perform live with the niceguys finally put me on to him. granted, he’s still a texas rapper at heart and i’ve never been a huge fan of the shit that got big back in 2005, but i’m willing to give this mixtape a shot. tracklisting after the jump.

introducing: social security (2011)
30 01 2011
i can’t begin to tell you how excited we were to get a message from todd weinstock in the weworemasks box. not only that, he had kind words for us bears as well, which was a HUGE surprise. for those of you who don’t know, todd played integral parts in glassjaw and men, women and children, as well as a handful of other great long island/nyc groups. aside from that, he’s started a production duo with marc jordan, whose worked with the cult, velvet revolver, rock kills kid, a static lullaby and more. thus, social security was born.
the pair are currently looking for good, original artists to work with and expand their portfolios and that sweet jazz. the duo have studios in NYC and LA, but are willing to travel to you. some of their previous work can be heard at their soundcloud page, so hop to it. any and all interested parties should shoot them over an email at producedbysocialsecurity@gmail.com and tell em we sent ya.

video: nike basketball + robert rodriguez – the black mamba trailers (2011)
30 01 2011boy i tell you what…when robert rodriguez sells out, he SELLS OUT. after hooking up with danny trejo for machete, i see he found it natural to rekindle that whole thing, and managed to throw kobe bryant, nike shoes, bruce willis and kanye west in the mix for good measure. the first trailer (above) has been out for a few days, but the second trailer dropped today (the one with kanye as ‘the boss’), and you can catch that below the jump.
that being said, this will be cool. kobe’s the man.

stream: bright eyes – the people’s key (2011)
30 01 2011
what happened to the middle americana wobbliness of i’m wide awake it’s morning through cassadaga-era bright eyes? as if being born again, conor oberst releases his 7th album under the bright eyes moniker, this time a conceptual piece on ufo’s, lizard men and time travel, or at least that’s what the opening monologue confesses. no, this is the melodious, risk-taking bright eyes we’ve all been yearning for since oberst settled into the naked acoustics of midwestern folk. stream the new album, the people’s key below, courtesy of npr.
also, you can check out the making of the people’s key lp (literally, the lp) in all its glossy die-cut limited-edition glory here.

28 01 2011
two new xv tracks in as many as a day-ish. first song is his own take on jay and ye’s “h.a.m.,” which is lyrically more consistent than the original. as for smallville, our man j. cole takes over production duties for the cut.

i thought this was surely going to be a tribute to that green to the tune of rozay and t.i.’s monster song from the no mercy sessions. regardless, good lineup and an even better song.

wiz khalifa – roll up (2011)
28 01 2011
new single (third?) from rolling papers. produced by the team behind black + yellow, and this one’s pretty solid for the whole pop-hip-hop-weed rap. and it’s NOT about rolling up marijuana cigarettes either. we’re talking about whips now.

show recap: against me! (january 25, 2011)
27 01 2011
As anyone who has heard the song “I Was a Teenage Anarchist” (was being the operative word) from 2010’s well received, if not completely commercial album White Crosses, can tell you: Against Me! have come a long way from the primitive one man anarchist project that Tommy Gabel conceived back in 1997. Once spearheaded by Gabel’s throat-wrenching political lyrics and a brash sense of leftist politics, the band has flourished into a stadium sized outfit with blue collar anthems that’d make Springsteen proud. And of course with such a progression towards a friendlier pop sound, there were bound to be detractors, but as of Houston’s sold out Warehouse Live show this past Tuesday, there were none to be found amongst the fist-pumping throng of die-hard (former) anarcho punks.
hit the jump for the full review.

video: nicki minaj – moment 4 life [f. drake] (2011)
27 01 2011ms. minaj gets real shifty and channels all her kindred spirits/characters/personalities for a video whose budget is clearly ballin’ outta control. drake’s in this one and is as awkward as you expect, and definitely not as slick as he portrays in this slew of behind the scenes photos. good choice of single, though. definitely see this one blowing up.
even though she’s a bi-polar freak show living out cinderella fantasies in music videos with drake.

dr. dre – i need a doctor [f. eminem and skylar grey] (2011)
27 01 2011
detox is shaping up…to be a giant disappointment. peep this recovery throwaway that has a pretty great beat that dre didn’t even produce. alex da kid (yeah, the guy responsible for “nothin on you” and “love the way you lie”) did a fine job here.
who the hell is skylar grey, and why do i feel like i’m watching japanese anime for american children when i hear those two words together?
edit: posted this a while ago, so the main reason for a repost is because it has single artwork and it’s now CDQ.

adele – rolling in the deep [jamie xx shuffle f. childish gambino] (2011)
27 01 2011
adele’s 21 is simply fantastic. it’s not out yet, but i’m sure there will be much more promo in the coming weeks as the release date nears. for now, we’ll take donald glover and jamie of the xx’s take on the superb first single from the record. “rolling in the deep” is fantastic as a stand alone, but i definitely enjoy this entirely new realm to the cut. oh and this song’s posting is super late. i’ve been sitting on this shit for about a week, and just now remembered. i saw it on another blog and it kinda kicked me in my but a lil’ bit. oh well.

video: lupe fiasco – interview with sound session (2011)
27 01 2011this is a great interview for the sole fact that lupe isn’t the bitchy, gripey shell of who he’s been for the past two years. he’s all smiles and gleamin’ off the successful campaign to release LASERS in a retail form – this interview follows that story and he has about 25 minutes worth of shit he had to say. good stuff. part II after the jump.

27 01 2011so this isn’t good at all. after the commercial success of “black and yellow,” i’m surprised that THIS is what he chose as his follow up single from rolling papers. speaking of which, catch his nappy headed performance of the steeler anthem on lopez tonight below the jump.
