More visuals from the Lessondary crew’s Sandwich Shop. If you’re in New York, tonight is the tape’s release party at Sutra. Free food and free beer should further entice you to attend. Spotted at the homie khal’s crib.
Happy born day, Che Grand, and a happy belated to Donwill as well.
A few weeks ago Donwill, Von Pea and Spec Boogie were live and direct in London on tour, and a fan caught some of their performance. Spotted at Don’s crib.
After leaking the initial series of remakes from Enter The 37th Chamber in late 2009, El Michels Affair is back with the final three installments to the remix series. Released last year on Fat Beats, Enter The 37th Chamber is El Michels Affair’s retro-soul recreation of many classic Wu-Tang Clan songs with an infusion of their signature style. In a project presented by URB.com, Fat Beats, and Audible Treats, Enter The 38th Chamber was released featuring a slew of artists remaking their own versions of these Wu-Tang Clan songs using El Michels Affair’s instrumental covers.
You can cop the rest of this project via iTunes. And check out a bonus offering from the Diamond District below as well.
I miss you more and more with every breath
your physical might be gone, your spirit has never left
wasn’t finished learning yet, I had so many questions
I was way too young to lose my best friend
now I know I didn’t understand before
to grow from am mommas boy into a man I had to stand alone
on my own two, I never told you
Happy birthday right before your soul flew
nothing I won’t do, to hear you laugh again
say what’s up to Uncle Moe, Grandma, Dad & them
tell them I miss them
I know you and Pops are dancing in the stars like you did in the kitchen
it’s hard to follow religions, but I keep my faith in them
so if I don’t see tomorrow then I’ll see your face again
sometimes I don’t know which one I’d rather see
but life is god and hey, it ain’t up to me. – Spec
If you were around for Lessondary Radio this past weekend, you may have caught them play this track off their upcoming The Sandwich Shop: Because Hoes Gotta Eat Too (which is tentatively set to drop next week before Mother’s Day) project. If not, enjoy.
People of New York, do you have any plans tonight? Of course you don’t, so come to Brooklyn where the dopehouse is teaming up with the Lessondary’s own Che Grand to bring you the 3rd Annual 99 Cent Party, going down tonight in Brooklyn. I will be on the turntables alongside DJ Tara, Shake will be in the crowd ready to fight somebody. Good times are bound to happen. More info down bottom.
Here’s a new cut from Airtight Grizzly off his upcoming Fixtape Two project, with DJ Low Key. And since we’re on the subject, the dopehouse is proud to bring to you Che Grand’s 3rd Annual 99 Cent Party, which goes down next Tuesday (April 20th). Details down bottom.
Numan’s Skullcrusher EP is now available on Slit Jockey Records. The release also features remixes by Bombaman, M80 Dubstation, and CapricornOne. This is the first release by Elucid and El Carnicero as CapricornOne.
A couple weeks ago I got a Digital Harinezumi camera from the reedspace and I started randomly shooting when ever we were out getting slizzard, edited out the more embarrassing stuff and called it a video. Just a fun joint from the crew. Enjoy.
Also if you ain’t know DONWILL’S DEBUT SOLO ALBUM, DON CUSACK IN HIGH FIDELITY IS IN STORES NOW AND IT’S SO FUCKING FANTASTIC THAT I’M TYPING IN ALL CAPS RIGHT NOW, WHO THE FUCK DOES THAT ANYMORE?!
Brizzo’s beat on “Freshman Friday” is fierce – its the perfect sonicbed for the non-”luxury rap” Elucid kicks. “Mr. Leviathan” is a bit darker/deeper, with some dubby aspects thrown into the bassline (and Gutta’s vocals). Abstract for your bitch ass.
One of my favorite tracks off Everything’s Good Ugly gets the visual treatment. If you haven’t heard this cut yet (or the album), slap your offspring as this was one of (in my opinion) the best hip hop albums of last year. Directed by Marques Green.
