Flume is an Australian producer who released a really good project, then remixed it and added all sorts of dope MC’s to the tracks (like Ghostface, Freddie Gibbs, Killer Mike, and more).  Here’s the trippy cartoon video for “Space Cadet.”

Not convinced, peep this record called “Insane” with Moon Holiday:

So dope.

If you think Ghost is hilarious in his songs and on TV, just multiply that by about 25x for the “in person” effect.  Definition of a legend.

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.  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.  Ghost is crazy.

If you listen to Sound Session at all, you know that we give out tickets all the time on the air.  Well today we’ve got a little present for our loyal TAOD readers as well, courtesy of the homies at Obese Productions.

If you want to go check out the Ghostface Killah show this Saturday night at the Showbox Market, I’ve got one pair for the reader that can email me at DJHyphen@gmail.com with the best reason why you should get to go see Ghost.

Contest ends at 5pm (PST) Friday the 23rd.  Let’s go!

Back again with another edition of SNSS, highlighting the latest and greatest music out there each week.  This time around, we ran new cuts from folks like J.

Yep.  Pretty much what we do.

Hmm…I was hoping for a live action clip more reminiscent of the Ghost/Rae ending scenes in the “Triumph” video, but since the track is so hard, this will still do.  There’s just so many ill possibilities for the visuals with a title like “House of Flying Daggers” that I can’t help but be a little disappointed.  Dilla on production in case you’re sleeping too.

As I alluded to here, The Kid Daytona is one of the nicest MC’s doing it right now and I’m anxiously awaiting his debut album, Come Fly With Me.  To help set up the project and make sure that people are aware of the talent, he’s teamed up with Mick Boogie to drop The Daytona 500.  Each track flips the same legendary sample that Ghostface used (Bob James’ “Nautilus”), but Daytona and his stable of producers make each joint different and their own.  You need to download this immediately.

1.  The First Lap
2.  The Wings {prod. 6th Sense}
3.  The Body {prod. Ill Bomb}
4.  The Engine {prod. Double 0}
5.  The Navigation {prod. Jet Audio}
6.  The Take Off (Flight) {prod. The Government}
7.  The Pit Crew *BONUS TRACK* feat. Outasight, Harlem’s Cash, 6th Sense {prod. 6th Sense}

Also, be on the lookout for another Daytona/Jet Audio collaboration on our upcoming Cornerstone Mixtape.  #115 drops any day now…peep the tracklisting here.

This song is so fire that they put it on the last Cornerstone Mixtape twice hahaha.  Rest assured, no matter how dope a song is, you aren’t gonna hear it twice in 30 minutes on our mix…

By the way, Cornerstone Mixtape #115 drops any day now!  You ready?
