a friend was telling me about times they ran in to trouble with the best friends gang in the early nineties. sounded crazy so i looked them up on google and found this. shits crazy.

new track from the upcoming oj simpson album. guaranteed to be fiiiiireeee. also be on the look out for Random Axe; guilty and sean price’s new album produced by black milk. yeahhhhh

graphic designer Logan Walters did a redesign of some classic wu-tang/associated artist albums, but with a blue note twist. the designs pay homage to classic blue note album covers from the 40s and up. i personally think these are really cool and feel like they would look great printed/framed/up on my walls…

so here’s a few random songs by wu-tang clan and friends;

wu-tang clan – winter wars classic

method man & redman – dis iz 4 all my smokers

raekwon – house of flying daggers (feat. inspectah deck, method man & ghostface)

oh, and i just read that mr. walters is from ferndale. sweeeeeet.

Blace Icewood – Icewood

pretty sure this doesn’t need an introduction. or anything really. just watch.

I caught deastro on accident at the hamtramck blowout this year and was really surprised at the amount of awesome in his set because all the acts I saw before made my brain cry. dude was straight playing the drums to his computer with a mic hooked up, all he needed was some cymbals strapped to his knees and it would have been ON! He posted 3 eps on his blog so go get them!

Saw Elzhi (of slum village) with black milk, Royce 5′9, Fat Ray, Phat Kat, Marvon, and even Guilty Simpson came up to spit a few last night at the Shelter. Elzhi is probably the most technical rapper to come out of Detroit, this video he shows you how he composes multi syllable raps by actually rapping. Elzhi also mentioned that him and Phat Kat are coming out with an album as well as him and Royce and all the songs he did with them sounded like its some shit to look forward to for sure.

Phat Kat w/ Elzhi – Cold Steel
Little Brother w/ Elzhi – Hiding Place

Ill Uno – Detroit I love you

this song’s been in my head for a day or so. too bad royce is down with eminem. or at least he was, i don’t know how he’s rollin’ these days. produced by jdilla

royce da 5′ 9″ – life goes on

apparently the singer from thunderbirds are now doesn’t like me.
file this in the ‘how to piss off the band’ category. maybe next to ‘les savy fav roof incident’

i know, it’s too dark to see anything…

and here’s to what could have been
thunderbirds are now – pink motorcycle helmet
thunderbirds are now – not witherspoon, but silverstone
