Pusha T :: Trouble on My Mind (ft Tyler, the Creator)



Just realized this gem wasn't up on the blog. More hilarity from Tyler. This time he's with Clipse's Pusha T. Dig the video as they mimic each other on each other's verses. Pretty fun watching Pusha T pretend to be Tyler.

Schoolboy Q :: Fantasy (ft Jhene Aiko)



"Lemme be your fiend, you be nicotine"

Hodgy Beats, Domo Gensys, Tyler, the Creator :: Rella (Left Brain prod.)



Re-dunk-ulous. These kids have the craziest ideas. Laser-jizz that turns people to cats? Check. Slapping a black girl asian? Covered. Coke head Tyler centuar? That's an affirmative! Slick and haunting beats courtesy of one Left Brain? Winner, winner, CHICKEN DINNER! This shit's bananas.

Coachella #3 - Arctic Monkeys



Arctic Monkeys :: 505




Arctic Monkeys :: Do Me A Favour




Arctic Monkeys :: Perhaps Vampires Is A Bit Strong But...


A few of my favourite tracks from the young lads across the pond. With four studio albums in six years, these guys will have a lot of material to draw from for their set. It is sure to be a great performance.

Coachella #1 - A$AP Rocky



A$AP Rocky :: Wassup (Clams Casino prod.)




A$AP Rocky :: Peso

A$AP Rocky is not the best rapper. From Harlem, he's part of the up-and-coming generation of rappers that are taking the internet and blogsphere by storm and has collaborated with many of his contemporaries(read OF, Black Hippy, Based God, etc). But what A$AP lacks in lyrical content he makes up in swagger and productions. Listen to his music, preferrably with a blunt in hand, and see if you don't instantly feel chilled out and swagged out at the same time. Like what you hear? More below...


A$AP Rocky :: Pretty Flacko

A$AP Rocky :: Bass

Coachella #2 - aarabMUZIK






I know watching a guy tap on a soundboard is not the most exciting performance, but aarabMUZIK is the exception. With blistering speed, laser precision, metronome-rivaling rythym and exceptional creativity this is one beatbreaker that is sure to wow. Dig the videos and the links below to get a further look into this mad beat genius' world.

For the dub-step inclined: Skrillex better than skrillex

To give an idea of a live set: Araab Muzik killin' the MPC LIVE in Paris, France

Wye Oak :: Are You That Somebody (Aaliyah Cover )



The Independent Feb. 24th Noisepop 2012

Pretty swag cover. Great song, with a great riff at the end. Love me some Noisepop.
