Mixtape - Charles Hamilton: The Dead Zone



Alright, well despite all this beat stealing stuff going on, Charles drops another new tape. He even explains every track. Here's what he says:

Why don’t I give a f*ck about anything any mortal has to say to me? Because I’m dead. In a sense, I guess I’m a zombie. But I’m kinda not. I walk amongst you all, but the things that determine your average person’s happiness… well, don’t effect me. I store all said thoughts in “The Dead Zone”.
^^improper punctuation, charles^^

Sorry, no quote. I'm in class but this is about the only time today I can really be posting. I say that, but watch today be productive on this instead of real things. Here's the run down stolen from NahRight:

Designer Brian Wood and Brooklyn boutique Vinnie’s Styles come together to pay tribute to the some of the best MC’s from the BEST DECADE EVER with their new 90’s Alumni T-shirt.

In support of the shirt, a bunch of NY’s most spittingest MC’s jumped on the following track, which will be included on a CD that will come with each shirt at the time of purchase.

Sharam Feat. KiD CuDi "She Came Along"


"blame it on me like i'm fugazi"
"sexy, i know you probably think you could be stress free without KiD
but you gon' see if you ever left, never get better, you'll miss me"

What a Patsy Cline sample. Sharam only produced this by the way. He's half of Deep Dish, the production duo that won a best remixed recording Grammy for a remix of Dido's "Thank You."

Asher Roth "Family Man" [Previously Unreleased] [New]


"and there's an inner wealth within the self with chillin' with the fam "

Man, big day already. This is the track that got Paul signed by Scooter Braun 2 years ago after he heard it on MySpace. So, not really new, but I'm sure you haven't heard it.

So, I'm going to try to keep up with posts today. I've got an article, paper, test, another test, another article and an interview in the next two days, so bear with me.

Video - 9th Wonder in Studio with Quentin Thomas a.k.a. GQ



Haha, love this. I knew Q had been working with 9th since his point guard days at UNC, but it's good to finally hear some of it. Dude can rhyme. Rapsody of Kooley High also makes an appearance. She was supposed to have been working with Q back when, but this sounds like a solo cut on the video.

Bonus: Did you know Q has the most victories as a UNC basketball player, ever.

More videos, saw them on WDIR:

UNC Reaches Final Four, Detroit


You know I can't forget my boys. They looked good today, and we love to play in Detroit.

Del the Funky Homosapien Dropping Free Album


Just read the homeboy Del is releasing some free shit. Here's the HipHopDX article:

With growing fears over a slumping economy growing by the day, many people are cutting back on the small things in life—which often include the legal consumption of music. Luckily, fans of Del the Funky Homosapien can enjoy the emcee’s upcoming album without having to bootleg it.

Del’s upcoming album, Funkman will be available to the masses free of charge. Accompanying the album will be a 13-point “stimulus package” which is designed to “revive the public at large” that is “over the whole rap era,” according to Del.

Fans who cannot get enough of Del can also find two other works—The Leak Pack Series Vols. 1 and 2—available for free as well.

With Funkman, Del aims to bring back the feeling of newness that fans experienced when Hip Hop began to get popular.

“It's going to be sometime before any sensation captures people's interest on a whole again like Hip Hop did," says Del, "I could be wrong, but I'm letting people know they need to mess with me in the meantime. People are jaded that's all, and I don't blame them - things come to the head, places switching, it's a crazy trip!"

Funkman will be available for download April 7 at delthefunkyhomosapien.bandcamp.com.

Common "Play That Funky Music" Freestyle with Prince


"you know how i do this, it's common sense, on stage rocking with my man prince
yo, i gotta just rap this, my man from minneapolis"

Can we get some more Prince today? Don't think so. This is from back in '07 when Prince had that stand at the O2 Arena that Mike Jackson is trying to duplicate.
