Off To See The WZRD…

Friday, March 2nd, 2012

WZRD is the continued evolution of the artist Kid Cudi. He consistently eschews the labels of rapper and Hip-Hop artist to create music that compels his spirit. Cudi may never have been a rapper, but instead he is a kid who used rap to propel himself into the upper atmosphere. Now that Cudi is above the clouds he can fly free.

What may have been holding Kid Cudi tethered to the Earth were his addictions which he is happy to say he has discarded at this point. Salute this man for staying on his evolutionary timeline and producing an album which is genre bending like KanYe West’s ‘808 & Heartbreaks’ split the barrier of rap and soul music. Fux with WZRD.


Kid Cudi – ‘High Off Life’

Action Bronson x Party Supplies = Blue Chips…

Wednesday, February 29th, 2012

You got a listen to what a Bronsolino x Party Supplies combo might would sound like with the ‘Contemporary Man‘ joint and now the project is fully realized with their mixtape titled ‘Blue Chips’.

Here’s what Action Bronson had to say about this project…

“Blue Chips is a project that allows me to give something back to all the people who have been supporting me during the last year. Party Supplies and myself linked up in the late fall and over the span of a few weeks created this project entirely off the cuff. We didn’t over think it, we just had fun making music with no pressures of making a “hit song”, clearing of samples or sales expectations. Thanks to the good people over at Reebok and our friends at Complex we are able to give it away to our fans for the nice price of Free.99. We look at this as a thank you of sorts to all the people who rock with us.

Blue Chips drops March 12th via the Complex Media network.”


Is This What’s Fresh?

Wednesday, February 29th, 2012

Future, Kid Ink, Danny Brown, French Montana, Roscoe Dash, Macklemore, Don Trip, Machine Gun Kelly, Hopsin and Iggy Azalea

I certainly can’t be mad at the nods to Danny Brown and Roscoe Dash who are both young verterans already in the rap game, but the annual list by XXL mag reminds me of how little I know when it comes to the rappy music. Maybe next year we’ll see Action Bronson, Maffew Ragazino, Meyhem Lauren, Troy Ave or Mr. M’F’N eXquire on the freshmen list?

In any case I should salute all these white people making rap music now and remind any young Black or brown kids I encounter not to do the rap music anymore. Their time, like mine, has passed them by.

GALAXY QUEST…

Sunday, February 26th, 2012

After all that strum and drang I was kicking about camping out hardbody for the Nike Foamposite ‘Galaxy’ sneakers I ended up missing the release. I chased the shoes all around NYC, but even for someone like myself who documents campouts and lineups I couldn’t make the connects to secure the kicks.

Plenty of people were rewarded for their efforts tho’ and I think the reward I received was all the love that the campers have for the kid. I fux with them too. [ll]. So here’s the final installment of DP’s Galaxy Quest…
