Jive can't manage to release a Clipse album, but at least their freebie promo game is on point. Picture taken from The Fader.
I'll be back on Monday with a real post. In the meantime, here are some links you should all check out:
DJ Jon Doe has made his latest mix available for download. Includes a Clipse track,
Aint'cha, that I haven't heard before.
Grab the mix here. There's also
some talk going on that the Clipse will be appearing on Jay-Z's upcoming album.
Moistworks has put up a bunch of tracks from The Coup.
Cop them here. The Coup get almost no mainstream love, but they're definitely worth checking out. One of the few rap groups these days that actually
have a message behind their music. Though I personally don't agree with all of the Communism talk, I can at least appreciate that they're saying
something.
To promote his upcoming album,
Tru3 Magic, Mos Def has two new songs available online (as well as a few of his older tracks).
Listen to them here.
Souled On has a great post highlighting some of the songs that have been sampled by Cam'ron, Gangstarr, RZA and Nas.
Go have a listen.
And finally, I just came across the site
Why Aren't I Famous. They've got some mixes available for download,
an in-depth look at Canadian hip hop, an amazing
Gnarls Barkley audition tape and lots of other good stuff. Worth taking a look.
