Embeds allowing bloggers to easily embed videos from Distrify. Just go to any Distrify film page or player and copy the URL. Paste that URL in any WordPress blog and it will automatically be converted to an embedded Distrify player. If you are logged in to distrify.com it will automatically add your affiliate tracking code to your embeds. Make sure you turn on Auto-embeds in your WP settings and also make sure that the URL is on its own line and not hyperlinked (clickable when viewing the post). The plugin also extracts the still image from the film and saves it as the Featured Image for the post. This actually works for any Embed (not just Distrify) that you embed into your WordPress blog.

kool a.d. // not o.k. + album stream

Kool A.D. drops a freelease worthy of your spare ear time. Das Racist alum Kool A.D. goes the solo route but trust he brings aboard a gaggle of talent. The 15-track Not O.K LP features collabos with Del Tha Funkee Homosapien, Milo, Jabee and others. There’s also production from Oh No, Jay Casio, Toro Y Moi, in short it pushed the sound meter straight into the black. Name your price and cop yours right here, right now. Stay tuned for Kool A.D.’s forthcoming 2014 release Word O.K. I’ll keep you posted. Peace. Continue reading “kool a.d. // not o.k. + album stream”

Das Racist – Sit Down Man + Michael Jackson + Rainbow In The Dark

The beyond clever ensemble known as Das Racist is as refreshing as they are hilariously dope, and subliminally informative on the sly. Himanshu Suri (aka Heems), and Victor Vazquez (aka Kool A.D.) and perennial hype man Ashok Kondabolu (aka Dap) collectively give off screwball sparks like exploding sunspots. Heem and Kool A.D flow effortlessly without the fake bravado of so many would be rappers. I love the quirky, oddly addictive beats, which are not overbearing but allow the canvas to be painted with vocal oil paint that dry quickly into Jean-Michel Basquiat images all over your brain space. I held out, and reserved judgement until I accidentally fooled around and inadvertently fell into their track “Micheal Jackson.” Since then, I’ve vowed to listen to more, and now I’m sold. Loving the the track “Rainbow In The Dark,” too. It is as humorous as it is fresh to death, and instead of carrying a Glock it carries a water pistol filled with grape flavored Kool-Aid. Nice to hear Das Racist making rap fun again. Peace. Continue reading “Das Racist – Sit Down Man + Michael Jackson + Rainbow In The Dark”
