The Audacity of Dope

Dangermouse stays winning.  Here’s the first look from his new project, Broken Bells, with the lead singer of the Shins, James Mercer.  Really looking forward to hearing this project.

And for the record, The Grey Album sucked, but I suppose we can thank it for launching DM into stardom.  Records with Jemini The Gifted One probably weren’t raking in the dough.

Some visuals for one of the dope freestyles off Kimbo Price.  Every time we use this beat on Sound Session, people ask what it is.  Have you forgotten this classic from Pace Won?

Those of you who know me in real life have probably heard me talk (at length) about a style of working out called crossfit.  Ever since the homey Dru introduced it to me, I’ve been a fan.  In short, it focuses on simple movements performed at a high level for short periods of time.  It’s way more efficient and challenging than simply lifting weights and I would recommend everyone check it out, regardless of your level of fitness.

Seattle people should come check it out tomorrow at the grand opening for Dru’s new space.  Foundation Crossfit has been around for a few years, but come check out the new spot and find out about these workouts that will change your life.  Tomorrow’s schedule is as follows:

See you there.

D.A. and Max join Diddy, Jadakiss, and Clinton Sparks as they take Vegas by storm in the new video for “Ciroc Star.”  If you never grabbed the Chester French mixtape, get your Jacque Jams right here and work on your endurance.

Smoke DZA recruits fellow Marley Smokers Devin The Dude, Curren$y, Asher Roth & hookman June Summers for his Smokers anthem “Marley & Me” produced by Scoop Deville. Directed by Creative Control. – OnSMASH

For my first official post with some actual material I bring you the official video for the remix to Smoke DZAs single off his Substance Abuse mixtape, Marley & Me featuring a few friends.

Editor’s note: If you’re gonna get lifted, be responsible folks.  That was your PSA of the day.  – Non-smoker Hyph

Yes, I’m late posting this video.  No, I don’t care.

Recently, I’ve been playing this Miike Snow album non-stop and it’s really impressive.  I seem to be on a “white guy singing, possibly with a foreign accent or falsetto of sorts, about semi depressing, ethereal topics” kick.  *Kanye shrug*…sue me.  I’m sure I’ll get back into my backpack hip-hop mindset soon, but for now, enjoy some different ish.

Shout to my man Soul Supreme at Potholes In My Blog for giving me the heads up on the Mark Ronson “Animal” remix.  We rocked this on Sound Session a few times and I’m a sucker for anything dub related.

Miike Snow – “Animal (Mark Ronson Remix)”

Are you there Jah? It’s me Ras Trent.

If you’ve been listening to Sound Session lately, you’ve heard us bumping this song on the regular.  Crazy record with a dope beat (same sample that Capone used for another record we played on SNSS a few years back) and CurT@!n$ killed it.  I love the Self Scientific reference too, since most of y’all still aren’t up on them after all these years.  Va$htie did a great job on the direction too…dope ish.

Whoever looked to standardize the whole 9-5 work day definitely wasn’t part of the music industry.  More like 9-9…at least.  With that in mind, just the basics this week.  Shout to Cymarshall Law for calling in to talk about his new Creator’s Kid project, which drops today.  Cop that!

I hope you caught Aziz’ Intimate Moments For A Sensual Evening special on Comedy Central from last week, but if not, here’s one of the highlights courtesy of NahRight.  Everything Kanye does is hilarious – I’ve been saying this since the first time Tunji and I met dude in LA in ’02.

Dope new visuals from the homey Wiz.  Shout to Jon Augustavo on the directorial tip too…those shots of the city are crazy.  206…suckas.
