hip hop confessions

This episode features a few of Skillz’ fellow Richmondites. I won’t give anything away, but I think Danja Mowf’s story might be my favorite confession thus far.

the black sunn: “godsound”

i’m posting this–the black sunn’s recently released album, godsound–much later than planned. but you know what i say (far too often, probably): “better late than never!”

i haven’t spent a whole lot of time with this album yet, but i am again impressed with black sunn’s thoughtful lyrics and ear for beats. check it out here.

(cover photos by yours truly. toot, toot!)

dj quicksilva – “where they do that at”

feast your ears on this spankin’ new baltimore remix of dj quicksilva’s “where they do that at”

the remix features mullyman, bossman, skarr akbar, smash, tiara laniece, japiro, barnes, q, comp, paula campbell, 100 grand man, and los. lots of quotables here, but japiro’s line–and, obviously, i’m paraphrasing here–about being over 25 with souljah boy as a ringtone on a cricket phone was one of my favorites.

DJ Booman – “Tardy for the Party” Remix

booman_bw_web

Baltimore club music legend DJ Booman puts his spin on this surprisingly catchy song from Kim of the Real Housewives of Atlanta. I always try to give Boo suggestions on songs to remix, and he always politely listens, but this suggestion came from DJs Reddz & Heat. Good idea!

e major, “make it” video

i’ve been meaning to post this video for weeks now. undersound music has done it again with another video that will make people think they have a lot of money. now i don’t really know about their financial situation, but what i do know is that they have a lot of talent in their camp, and this latest video is a wonderful example. aaron “zu” keeny’s video for “make it” works so perfectly, providing great visuals to this song that gives you a good picture of e major as an artist and as a person. (the family shots are extremely “awww”-worthy.)

slum village, 1998

took this photo at either the dc or baltimore show in 1998 when slum village was opening for a tribe called quest. the scan of the negative isn’t very good at all, but it will work for now. r.i.p. dilla & baatin.
