Keepaway – Cake

If you happen to need a good reason to smile, then simply take matters into your own very capable hands and click on the tracks below. Yes. Instant smile eh!. The self-described Psych-Pop trio Keepaway are on the literal cusp of releasing their debut LP Black Flute via Das Racist’s Greedhead label.

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.

Nice to hear Das Racist making rap fun again. Peace. Continue reading “Das Racist – Sit Down Man + Michael Jackson + Rainbow In The Dark”
