hunk — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 17:30:41 +0000

Our boy @blood_diamond5 is behind this new Das Racist single. Apparently they hit him up on twitter and was like, “Can we rap on this beat, Girl..?”. The rest is HIStory. Apparently it’s the lead single.

And another new one.

Stream the whole new album here and check out an interview with Nardwuar.

Missy Elliott (featuring Teyana Taylor) – Put It On Ya

Sheena Beaston — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 22:06:00 +0000

Is Missy Elliott‘s Block Party ever really going to come out? If the leak of her new jawn with Lil Wayne, All 4 U, is any indication, then yes it is. The latest reports state it could be out as early as January 2010. Unlikely since there’s no offical cover art, promotional push, or confirmed track list, but at least there’s hope!

I recall way back in June of 2008, I made known that Missy’s 7th studio album would be released on August 26 of that year. What bollocks! Regardless, if all the time she’s been taking to “get it right” is worth it, I won’t complain.

So yep, there’s that Wayne collab which is floating around…go grab it if you feel the urge. Me? I’m more impressed with the final version* of Put It On Ya, which I grossly overlooked in the depths of my inbox from mid-October. Silly beast…

* I previously featured a snippet of this in demo format. The final track is much better.

Now on to the good stuff. Rihanna is performing in New York City this Saturday, December 19. I, along with a few great blogger buddies, will be in attendance. Seeing as how I’ve got an extra ticket, I figured, why not make a rad little boy or girl’s holiday wishes come true and bring them along for the show! So that’s the catch…you’ll be hanging out with us, but I promise, we’re super fun!

Here’s how to enter. And no, its not through twitter this time…shocker!

Sade – Soldier Of Love (Konrad Remix)

Sheena Beaston — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 14:16:00 +0000

Last week, we debuted Sade‘s, shall we say, “comeback single”, Soldier of Love. Nearly a decade since new material had been heard, we immediately salivated at the initial sounds pumping from our speakers: a driving military beat with Sade’s inimitably gruff vocals.

So this morning, we’ve also got another Beaston fave returning in fine fashion. It’s been a bit of time since we’ve heard from the Old Money boys, but that ends now.

Coming back with a rush of speed and amped up drum beats, crew member, Konrad, takes us on a journey of massive proportions by rubbing his remix wash all over the track.

It’s fantastic, it’s fire, and it’s free!

Portishead – Chase The Tear

Sheena Beaston — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 21:39:00 +0000

Are we seriously listening to new Portishead right now? Oh man, we are! The Mercury Award winning trio have joined forces with Amnesty International to release their brand new track, Chase The Tear, on the eve of International Human Rights Day.

Back in September, band member Geoff Barrow announced that there would be discussions for a new project with a new angle, hinting that an album could arrive as soon as late 2010. This brief bit of news made many a lover of the English band salivate at the mere thought of new material.

While Chase The Tear appears to simply be a one-off track, produced in support of IHRD, I’ll still allow it! With a driving bass line and sparse drumbeats, Beth’s vocals cut like a knife through the eastern-world extravagance that is expressed in the song’s repetitive nature.

Watch the video here.

Chase The Tear is available exclusively through 7digital, with proceeds benefiting the organization. For more information on Amnesty International, go here.
