Aloe Blacc – Politician (Live on Sound Session)

Posted in Artists, Interviews, Live Performances, Sound Session, Videos on August 15th, 2010 by Hyphen

Aloe Blacc visited us last week and while here, he blessed us with a live performance of “Politician,” singing soulfully and eloquently about our government officials. The full interview is coming soon, but I wanted y’all to see this video ASAP.Â Nailed it in one take…

Be sure to cop Aloe’s Good Things album on Stones Throw, coming out September 28th.Â Support good music!

Ghostface x Frank Dukes x Red Bull Big Tune

Posted in Art, Other Peoples' Interviews, Videos on August 7th, 2010 by Hyphen

Just like C-Sick last year, the winner of the last Red Bull Big Tune beat battle got to choose a legendary MC to get in the studio with and Frank Dukes chose Ghostface.Â I heard some hilarious stories about this trip to L.A. from behind the scenes, but peep the beginning of part 2 for a brief example.Â Ghost is crazy.

De La Soul at Bumbershoot (Seattle), 2009

Posted in Artists, Live Performances, Videos on August 7th, 2010 by Hyphen

I’ve been meaning to post up this footage for…well…almost a whole year.Â Damn.Â Eh well, better late than never!

I shot some visuals for De La’s performance at Bumbershoot last year and the homey mind of i edited it together nicely.Â Enjoy and be sure to come to the festival this year.Â Drake, J. Cole, and Jay Electronica alone should demand your presence.

Aloe’s about to drop one of the best albums of the year with September 28th’s Good Things.Â It looks like he might be headed up to Seattle next week, and if so, we’ll see if he can stop by the SNSS studio.Â Great to see this longtime MC get some shine with his new project.

Kanye rapping his heart out @ Facebook

Posted in Artists, Live Performances, Videos on July 31st, 2010 by Hyphen

Remember this story about ‘Ye rapping to Tunji and I acapella in the back of HOB Anaheim when he was on the come up?Â Well that passion is still there and on full display in these videos of his recent trip to the Facebook offices this past week.Â I’ve been saying for years that no other successful MC cares this much about his art.Â When you combine that passion with his ability, you have the best artist in the game.

Just peep “Mama’s Boyfriend” for proof:

Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis: Steve Carrell

Posted in Comedy, Movies, Videos on July 31st, 2010 by Hyphen

At first, I had absolutely no desire to see Dinner For Schmucks, but I must say, the commercials and the newest installment of BtF has me second guessing that.Â I need to see Inception first though…perhaps tonight.
