LA LLAMA...

Spring 2009 is shaping up to be a big season for Guillermo Scott Herren. First up is the new Savath y Savalas album entitled La Llama on Stones Throw.



For those new to S+S, the group (now) consists of Herren, Eva Puyuelo Muns, & Roberto Lange. Asked to describe the sound of La Llama, Herren describes it as "almost straight-up, Catalan/Castellano vocal-based folk steez".

The album is available for download exclusively at the Stones Throw online store and hits retail shelves May 19th. Next in line, the new P73 album and the debut from Diamond Watch Wrists, his collaboration with Zach Hill from Hella. All coming out within 3 months of each other. Get busy.

GIFTED...

Production duo N.A.S.A. is back with a new video for standout track "Gifted" featuring KanYe West, Santigold, and Lykki Li from The Spirit of Apollo. Personally, this is my favorite joint on the record. Video put together by the creative team at Three Legged Legs.

JEREMY FISH - THE AMBUSH

LAMAR & DAULEY x DC SHOES...

I've never been much a DC fan, but these Xander sneakers are official.

BORN LIKE THIS...

DOOM (drop the MF) is back! Four years removed from his last official release, the metal faced villain FINALLY delivers Born Like This, his new album on Lex.



The album features production from the late J Dilla, Jake One, and of course Metal Fingers himself. Lyrically, it's vintage DOOM. Ill stream of thought flows, zero choruses, and a slew of random cultural references. Guaranteed hotness.

BUGGIN' OUT '09...

I swear Rik Cordero makes a new video every week. This is Consequence & KiD CuDi with "Buggin' Out '09", a remake of the ATCQ classic of the same name (sans year). Taken from J.Period's free mixtape The [Abstract] Best Vol. 1.

24KILATES x MITA x NEW BALANCE MT576S...

Mad clean, right?

STRANGE LOVE...

This one is a few weeks old but still worth posting. This is Bisc1 with "Strange Love" from his recent Strange Love Project. Produced & directed by famed graffiti producer Carl Weston for Video Graf Productions.

FUNKY HIT RECORDS...

Bay Area hip-hop sensation Lyrics Born returns with "Funky Hit Records", the first single/video from his forthcoming new album As U Were. LB really goes after that raw 80's style hip-hop on this joint produced by Trackademicks.

STAY UP! (VIAGRA)...

New video from 88 Keys. This is "Stay Up! (Viagra)" featuring KanYe West. Taken from 88's debut solo full length, The Death of Adam.
