shabazz palaces // an echo from the hosts that profess infinitum + official music video

Just ahead of Shabazz Palaces‘ soon to launch tour of Asia. Seattle, WA-based avant garde Hip Hop torch bearers release the video for An Echo from the Hosts that Profess Infinitum, better later than never-ish, right? The  video was directed by Joris Grelet, and features molotov cocktails and sword wielding assassins. The video comes nearly two years after the release of 2011’s Black Up from which the track is taken. The duo, Palaceer Lazaro and Tendai Maraire, are hopefully in the lab putting together new material. We can only hope. Also, after the jump check out the recent Shabazz Palaces Remix of Animal Collective‘s New Town Burnout. Peace.  Continue reading “shabazz palaces // an echo from the hosts that profess infinitum + official music video”

Yelawolf f. Gangsta Boo & Eminem – Throw It Up


Listening to Yelawolf is akin to the puff-puff-pass theory, in that you want to share such excellent herb with your homies. So, its no surprise that we’re offered more of the same: mind numbing spliff smoke par excellence with silky sick flows and merciless walk-on-water beats, check out “Throw It Up” with Gangsta Boo and his majesty Eminem, and really there isn’t much more to say because the music speaks for itself. Yelawolf‘s debut studio LP Radioactive drops November 21st via Shady Records, a day I suspect will live forever on in Hip Hop infamy. Mark my words Yelawolf, aka Michael Wayne Atha, is gonna’ blow big time, and for one reason: he has the natural raw ability to hang, and many cases exceed, most rappers out here right now. Need proof? Check out his 2010 mixtape Trunk Muzik. Peace.

Domo Genesis – Let’s Smoke

Domo Genesis

Domo Genesis is making his way out of obscurity and into the light of day. No longer is he content being the chill spliff smoking homeboy of  the rap ensemble Odd Future. Yeah, you know the crew which consists of  Tyler the Creator and Earl the Sweatshirt. Some fans and critics pass DG off as the lesser talent of the collective aggregate known as Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All, often abbreviated OFWGKTA. I know, quite a  mouthful huh? However, with his second mixtape release since last year’s Rolling Papers, Under the Influence is nothing short of 35 sweet-minutes of the 20-year-old rapper showcasing his skill-set for dope rhymes. No matter what others say Domo Genesis can hold his own against his more recognizable peers. And really, is there anything wrong with a little recreational ganja? I think not. So, for all those who indulge from time to time this one is for you and Jerome Simpson.  Crank it up and alllow “Let’s Smoke” to fill your head-space and have a Happy Monday. Peace.
