GEORGIAVANIA...

Who saw this coming? Future hip-hop beat maker Jneiro Jarel and dirty south rap royalty Khujo Goodie have joined forces to form Willie Isz. Their debut full-length, Georgiavania, is out today on Lex. Back to the future indeed.

DRUMROLL...

Never Better from P.O.S. is easily one of my favorite hip-hop albums to come out this year. Check out the Children of Men inspired video for "Drumroll" below. It's dope.

NO FUTURE COMPANION...

KAWS and Hajime Sorayama bring their 2006 painting to life with the 13" No Future Companion figure. Releasing tomorrow (June 27th) the toy will retail for nearly 1G.

NoDoz: FULGEANCE

Next up for a NoDoz nod is One-Handed Music recording artist Fulgeance, the French don of the MPC.



The music of Fulgeance is a nice blend of French electro and instrumental hip-hop. Over the past year Fulgeance has delivered two solid EP's (Low Club EP & Chico EP) and has a third EP due later this year on One-Handed Music entitled Smartbanging. Check the audio after the jump to sample the flavor.

BACK AGAIN...

Brand new video from Reflection Eternal (Talib Kweli + Hi-Tek). This is "Back Again" from the forthcoming Revolutions Per Minute. It's nice to hear these two back at it again.

AMBIVALENCE AVENUE...

Out this week is the Warp debut from lo-fi electronic artist Bibio entitled Ambivalence Avenue.



The album is a stunning blend of sun-kissed folk, cut-n-paste-post Dilla beats, hazy psychedelia, and crunchy FlyLo-esque bangers. Your summer soundtrack has arrived. Sample the goodness after the jump.

KINDA LIKE A BIG DEAL...

Brand new video from the Clipse, this is "Kinda Like A Big Deal" featuring KanYe West from the forthcoming Til The Casket Drops due later this year. This one's a heat rock.

NIKE SPORTSWEAR AIR MAXIM 1...

Nice fusion of old-school silhouette with new-school technology. Me likey.

HUNTER GATHERER...

If/when I ever get an iPhone, this is definitely the case I'm rockin'.

ME-TIME...

New video from rapid-fire rapper Busdriver. This is "Me-Time (With the Pulmonary Palimpsest)" from the newly released Jhelli Beam. Without a doubt, Busdriver's flow is bananas!
