Hiro's hygiene Feat. TAME ONE

Del The Funky Homosapien, part of Hieroglyphics and Tame One, best known as a member of Artifacts, also in side projects such as Weathermen and the Leak Brothers came together to release an album produced by Parallel Thought. Del and Tame, two prolific and highly-respected artists upholding the hip-hop art form at its best—and holding their own in 2009. They are definitely proving that true lyricism is alive and well. Do yourself a favor - check for this!

Different dish, same course :: this ones for the Ladies...

Ever have a baaaad dude run up on you, Metro Fresho, clean kicks, fitted, pressed button up and have him crack that smile and show them crusty teeth?! IT AINT WORTH IT LADIES! IT IS NOT WORTH IT!
Men, get familiar with a tooth brush, no one is tryin to smell..better yet, SEE last nights dinner between your teeth. geesh! You're not worth tryin to see past the dragon breath you breathin'! You worked tha outside, don't forget about tha inside...YOUR MOUTH! Take a lesson from Del's- "IF YOU MUST"

It's important to practice good hygiene
At least if you wanna run with my team
I'm bout to get into some shit that I've seen
This fool's breath, I mean so bad it'll melt your ice cream
They say don't say nothing if you can't say nice things
Sittin too close to him it burned my eyes stingI try to be subtle,
hand him a stick of gum I was a victim of breath on him
Running his yap about what sets he from
Gotta get some gum gotta get him some
He turned it down, his teeth was brown
Excruciating for him and it was a new sensation
I had to ask the dope to pass the soap'cause his toe had the sniff of crustaceans Or bathrooms in a bus station
He had a can of Olde E and some raisins
Amazing... head to toe B.O.
He didn't know, used to the fragrance
Just as the days went without bathing
He felt manly and not like a maiden
He had one dread, and fungus
Said he worked on peoples' toilets with plungers
Girls, not the guy you would want to tongue ya
So guys take your cue from this number

RIP :: BATTIN of SLum Village.

"In sad music news, it was reported that Slum Village co-founder Titus "Baatin" Glover (pictured on the right) was found dead on Saturday. Evidence from the medical examiners office is still pending but for now, the cause of his death is a mystery. He was actually supposed to be performing at Rock the Bells in Vancouver on Saturday with Slum Village, and was booked to perform in Seattle next Friday, August 14th.
He's the second member of Slum Village to pass away as James "J Dilla" Yancey (pictured on the left) died in 2006 from complications related to lupus. RL "T3" Altman (pictured in the rear) is the last original member of the group. A part of what's so sad about Baatin's passing is that he was just beginning to really get his life back together. He left Slum Village in 2003 after being diagnosed with schizophrenia and battled some emotional issues for a number of years. But he appeared to have put all of that behind him because he recently rejoined the group this summer. I can remember interviewing T3 on the subject matter in 2003 and vividly remember him saying that Baatin would be welcome back in the group as soon as he worked out his personal issues. So his unexpected passing over the weekend is a hard pill to swallow.

. you remember this track! .

Rest In Peace.

. a Little bit in Love with you .

Lykke Li, my female crush. I freakin adore this lady. I just want to bottle her up and keep her forever. Not only do i love the sound of her voice, but i love her style. I often find myself getting lost in her lyrics, she is something different. Her sound is a indie Swedish // electropop. She has appeared on Sewdish musicians, Kleerup's album contributing vocals for "Until We Bleed" & Royskopp's "Miss it so Much" She is also featured in "Gifted" - N.A.S.A, Kanye West, Santogold. Drake also made a remix to her song "Little Bit" appearing on his album "So Far Gone." Shes done covers from Kings of Leon, A Tribe Called Quest to mixes by Rick Ross. I'm finding that it's actually common for her songs to be remixed and/or covered. Either way, shes baaaad and definitely holding it down.

Side note: This video was done from straight pocket change before she was on LL Records. She gathered friends and rented the apartment displayed in video and did her thing! loves it.

Rock tha beLLs 2000+grind.

3 summers strong I've attended Rock the Bells.....for free! This time I brought Alex & Eileen with me. Each time I go I have more fun. I linked up with some friends from CT as well - it has been over a year since I saw them, so that was dope. We had bomb seats, did the whole "tail gate" thing...I even played football with random boys! Here are some photos:
