The Tastemakers Society

This video was directed by Bank Head which is Nick Weidenfeld (exec producer of Adult Swim) and Jacob Escobedo (art director of Adult Swim). Cameos by Kanye West and Akon. Sidenote, it’s proper bathroom etiquette to never speak to another man while in the stahl.

New Music Tuesday brings you Outasight a Yonkers, New York native and birth name Richard Andrew grew up with a mother who used records to decorate the walls and his father played guitar. That natural born gift coupled with his love for music all music has given birth to a completely original sound. Outasight can make your girls R&B dreams come true with his unique vocal tone or he can have your man haten cause his rhymes are better than his. Either way Outasight’s music is outasight (I know, corny line but I couldn’t resist). Read up on Outasight in this NMT feature and learn what it’s like to be in the studio with him, the groupie debate and his fondness for Family Guy.

His name is Theophilus London. His look is past-inspired, presently proficient. His music is Michael Jackson and Prince, blended with an upbeat new wave sound, hip-hop, and soul influence. And, everything combines to form something uniquely futuristic about the artist formerly known as Thelonius Kapps. The Brooklyn-based microphone controller’s first mixtape Jam! is high in energy and up-tempo, but emotionally evocative, when necessary.  Mixed by Machinedrum, the mixtape, which was created in an hour, is an amazing blend. One listen of Jam! and you’ll understand that the party never stops with Mr. London. (video after the jump)

Can’t believe I missed this drop. “Digi Snacks,” Rza’s fourth solo album, and third under his alias Bobby Digital, dropped in late June of this year.  But, somehow I didn’t pick up on it until the video for the single “Drama,” which features Monk and Thea, hit the internet. The trademark Rza piano production, Thea’s timeless voice, and the back and forth rhyming make this a beautiful piece.

This is an amazing video by Woodhands for the song, I wasn’t made for fighting.

SoundCloud should change how we handle music which I will greatly appreciate because, we live in a internet based music world now but we haven’t yet created an easy flowing system to handle the flow of music. Or as SoundCloud says, how we “move music”, we have many upon many places to listen to music online or download but no real solution on how to transfer that music easily, mp3 downloads fucking kill me.

I’m not familiar with the song, I think it’s ok, but I’m posting this purely because of how Keri Hilson looks in it.

A new feature that will be coming very soon in some weeks, is New Music Tuesday, bringing you interviews and coverage on new artsit from all over the world making a name for themselves. So to debut this thing, sort of, I bring you, Print, a NY based rapper making noise and getting all over the place. Read up on our mini-view with Print and his new track after the jump.  

Name, government name, and location

What’s going on! It’s ya boy Print.  I was born Christian Faust out of Brooklyn, NY.  I was raised all over the borough but in started in Marcy Projects and then all around from Park Slope to Fort Green.  But now I reside back in Bedstuy Brooklyn.

I hate comparing a singer to another but sometimes you just have to, to get your point across better. So with that little speal to defend myself I have to say that Honey Larochelle is a blend of Alicia Keys and Jil Scott. Her voice… I don’t even know why I even bother trying to describe musicians, the music speaks for itself. Just watch her video after the jump, and visit her website and you’ll no doubtly (I make up words) become a Honey Larochelle fan.

First saw Janelle Monaoe on the cover of URB, hadn’t ever heard her music at that point, did a little Google search, listend to some songs, and ding, I’m a fan. Funny how the circle of life works.
