The Audacity of Dope

Cot damn, the title to this record is so fitting. Super grimy slap.

Mitch: The day has finally come villains. Nearly eight months since his last endeavor, Stevie Crooks, quite possibly California’s most underrated/slept on rhyme spitter blesses us with his Cashmere Killer LP hosted by LRG and DJBooth.

One track in and you’ll quickly come to realize this isn’t going to be your average cookie-cutter 2012 release. Taking inspiration from the golden era of hip-hop, each track features a nostalgic 90’s feel to it. The LP consists of 13 ill cuts with the lone guest appearance from Erin Darcel, as well as one #CamoClique approved bonus track.

While Daytona recently released his second Interlude project, he also just dropped this video for “NYA” off the first edition.  I prefer the first volume overall, but they’re both great.  Cop them here and here if you’ve been sleeping.

New visuals from Derek Pike off Daytona’s The Interlude tape, which is one of the few recent releases to achieve the vaunted “Hyphen’s iPod” status.  In other words, it’s dope as hell.  Download it here.

Visuals for one of the songs that made SNSS‘ “Best of 2010” show a few weeks back.  This was filmed out here in the San Juan Islands while Daytona and others (include Aloe Blacc, who you can see in this video) shot the new LRG catalog.

And this song gets eternal props for the Above The Rim reference.  As always.

I’ve been waiting for Daytona’s The Interlude project to drop for a minute and it’s finally here.  It doesn’t disappoint one bit either…some of the best music out this side of Kanye right now.  Inspired by that golden era that I know we all miss.  Be sure to grab this ASAP!

Never Say Never…and better late than never!  My apologies for the delay in posting this, especially since I was rocking to it for a minute before it dropped.  The homey Outasight is one of the illest up and coming artists in the game, and he continually drops free music for y’all to enjoy.  Buy his rookie card now while the price is cheap.

The homies are killin’ it!

Fellow 5-C alum, Greg The Dude, linked up with Outasight for the “Catch Me If You Can” video off his Further project (download here!). Peep the trailer for a glimpse at the upcoming release, on that Bourne Identity type steez…

I know I’m a little late on this, especially since I’ve been bumping the tape non-stop ever since OU sent it out, but better late than never.  Outasight is one of my favorite artists these days and this project shows exactly why.  He’s a dope MC, vocalist, and is forward thinking with his art.  Plus he’s just a cool dude.  Download this immediately:

Congrats to Outasight for recently signing to Asylum/Warner Bros. Records as well.  I hear the head of WBR is personally really excited about the signing, so it looks like they might actually give him the push he deserves in 2010…
