Dude Has Talent...

Been stagnant the past couple days, don't have any huge mixtapes or anything like that. I did however find this homeless guy Red though, he beat-boxes and raps at the same time. Def. worth a look.

Don't really know much about him but I really dig this single, I'm going to keep looking see if he has anything else in the works or any signing prospects etc. keep you posted...

Enjoy,

Samson

Follow Up... I'm a Savage For Cabbage.

Figure you might want to compare the Cassidy version of 'Plenty Money',

and I might as well throw the original by Plies on here.

Enjoy,

Teach the Crew How to Dougi

First Cory Gunz came out with a new Gansta Grillz mixtape two days ago ('Heir To the Throne'), I wanted to give it a decent amount of listening time before I posted on it so here it is... It's Freshh. Definitely download it as soon as you get a chance. In my opinion the two best songs are 'Crew In the Spot' and 'Plenty Money Freestyle', which Cassidy had already ripped on but Cory definitely does it justice.

Second a couple weeks ago I found a pretty sick video on youtube by California Swag District entitled 'Teach Me How to Dougi', which I forgot about till today so figured I'd post it now or never.

Enjoy,

Samson.

Bittersweet

Charles Hamilton recently got dropped from Interscope Records, I guess this was bound to happen considering his string of mishaps. Over the past few months I would follow his numerous mixtapes with not many new tracks and bad production. I would also hear of him losing numerous battles. He was dropping wierd blogs like that J. Dilla helped produce his record 'This Perfect Life', which was impossible due to the fact that J. Dilla passed away in 2006. Anyways after being booted from Interscope Charles decided to leak his album 'This Perfect Life'. The sad thing is it's a good album with a decent amount of work put into it. I found it ironic how many rappers are spitting on Suzanne Vega's 'Tom Diner' as Charles did by sampling the song in 'Ghosts'.

This song is also sampled by Drake in his song 'Juice'.

I beleive that the first group to sample this beat however was Felt in their song actually titled 'Suzanne Vega'.

Another cool thing about this song is that the 'Tom's Diner', Suzanne Vega is talking of is the same restaurant that is used in Seinfeld, the one the cast frequents in almost every episode.

Enjoy.

Whale Calls...

Just a couple dope songs from the Andre Nickatina concert I went to las night at the Rialto Theater in Tucson, AZ. Andre didn't get on stage until a little after 11 and everyone was throwing beer and water bottles at some of the under- talented openers. Andre was definitely worth waiting for though he put on an awesome show.

Enjoy,

Before he sold out...

I was looking through my music today and realized I have all of Murs' albums besides his newest one. There's one simple reason for this, it's not worth listening to. Don't get me wrong I'm a huge Murs fan through all of his groups and solo albums I've liked the majority of his tracks. It comes down to one thing when you sell out you lose all respect for the art of making music (not true in 100% of cases) this is especially true in underground artists. So for your listening pleasure here is some fresh Murs tracks. Or well at least two tracks he's involved with.

First a side project called Felt, Murs was involved in with Slug from Atmosphere:

NextNe Next some realll old school Murs when he was in high school in the group Log Cabin Crew:

The video says 3 Melancholy Gypsies but I'm almost positive that at this point they were still calling themselves Log Cabin Crew. Hope you like the Nirvana and Jungle Book samples. Other members of this group include Eligh and Scarab

Enjoy.

Sent Your Girl a Text, Said I'll See You When I Can...

Drake has made a pretty big presence for someone who started out on the Canadian teen show Degrassi. Currently he's working with a lot of other up and coming artists and some rap veterans. Lil Wayne has taken him under his wing, and Drake also signed with Young Money Entertainment in June of this year. He even has a spot on Jay-Z's new The Blueprint 3. The only qualms I have are that some of his songs are a little watered down and rely on autotune. A couple songs I do however like are...

Which gives a shout out to the deceased DJ Screw, the inventor of chopped & screwed remixes, and also a song by Page ft. Drake which samples the beat from 'Still Fly' by the Big Tymers

A good mixtape for actually the majority of Drake's dope shit is Property of October which is a 2 Disc Mixtape that came out a couple weeks ago.

So keep doing your thing and Enjoy...
