First post in a looooooooooooooooooooooooong time!

I've been mad busy with work, school, moving and renovating 2 cribs, fixing a new studio, soul searching, reading, watching movies, traveling and being lazy at times (in no special order). I didn't really feel like writing for a while either so I didn't.

But I miss sharing music and my personal opinions with you guys, so I'll be hanging out here now and then again.

Tune in whenever you feel like it :)

2011-04-05T15:20:00.001+02:00

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Excuse the outburst of joyful satisfaction, but this Mary joint got me amped. The original instrumental is taken from P. Diddy/Dirty Money's joint "Someone To Love Me" produced by Wyclef Jean's partner in crime Jerry "Wonder" Duplessis and Arden "Keyz" Altino off the Last Train To Paris album.

It's the first single off her upcoming album My Life II: The Journey Continues that is scheduled to drop September 20 and to feature production from amongst others Kanye West, Danja, Swizz Beatz and Norwegian super producers Stargate.

The album title suggests it to be the sequel of Mary’s 1994 album My Life which was mostly produced by the good old Puff Daddy and is without the shadow of a doubt one of the best R&B albums of all time (regardless of religion or personal preference). This is a great start and I hope the other tracks stay on this 90's tip.

I love pretty much every joint Aloe Blacc has put out throughout his whole career, so this one wasn't very likely to be too different from the get-go but goddamn! He just keeps getting more legendary every day. I will soon place him up there with Stevie and Marvin. I'm dead serious! I triple dare you to check the "Femme Fatale" or the "Billie Jean" remake videos after the jump and disagree!

Major Lazer - Percumajor

2010-10-06T09:56:00.001+02:00

The Major Lazer producer duo (Diplo and Switch) recently released they're remix of Cashmere's classic "Perculator" and altough I don't place it amongst the best Major Lazer tracks, or personally like it much, the video just dropped and I had to post it. With references to everything from Gizmo and the Gremlins to the Back to the Future Flux Capacitor the video is jam-packed with referances to a bunch of 80's/90's pop culture icons. I love the shit! Check it out after the jump.

Specimen A - Cold As Ice

2010-09-21T13:28:00.001+02:00

This hit of heavy bass was more effective than 3 cups of coffee! I find that reason enough to share it with you. Remember M.O.P.'s "Cold as Ice"? Well, same Foreigner sample different treatment, while the Brownsville Mash Out Posse took the late 90's high pitch sample Hip Hop approach, the Jones brothers Mo and Phil a.k.a. Specimen A gave it the 2010 Dubstep treatment.

Not Disney, Google me now the name's Mickey...

2010-09-15T13:51:00.001+02:00

Mickey Factz' latest project The Dark Phoenix #Alpha pretty much justifies his demise from the public eye up to the release of his banger "Paradise" in 2010. Pushing the envelope throughout the 8 tracks of the mixtape with not only a new experimental sound that fits him like a fresh pair of Skytops, but also an upgraded rhyme style, sense of lyricism, flow, delivery, cadence and downright SWAG (if I could hammer my MacBook keyboard any harder to emphasize the caps lock I would) Mickey is definitely going to be reaching your ears one way or the other some time soon. Make it sooner!

By the way, Mickey wrote down a track by track breakdown of each track on the lyrics section of the mp3 files, meaning that if you, like me, prefer bumping mixtapes on your iPhone or iPod as a soundtrack to your daily getting around in the big city (small cities apply as well) opposite to listening to cars, uninteresting conversations and random fuckery (cows and pigs apply as well), can check these short descriptions out and get an insight in to his creative process and mind state at the time of recording to achieve the proper atmosphere desired by Mickey himself.

(Click image to enlarge)

Californian artist Mike Baker the Bike Maker is out of this world! His tracks blend that classic golden era Hip Hop freshness with lyrics à la Outkast and an unique, innovative approach on the production tip with a truck load of the dopest sampling you've heard in a long time.

I hope the fresh cover and my short adjective stacked description of homies genius are sufficient to incentivate you to press the link and download his new mixtape Body of Work and if you thought my description sounded like a dope record, just wait until you hear the subject of the matter! One thing is sure, if you do press the link you'll be happy you gave it a chance.

John Legend & The Roots Ft. Black Thought - Hard Times

2010-09-08T09:32:00.001+02:00

What could bring more joyfull bliss to my cluttered living room table than a fresh side dish of John Legend & The Roots to complete my Coco Pops breakfast?

It's no secret to any of you that know me personally or that used to read the Supa Fresh! blog (R.I.P.) that I'm a diehard Roots fan. I treasure the day I had the pleasure to meet and spin with ?uestlove and to greet my Hip Hop superhero and all time favourite MC (or at least top 3) Black Thought.

The new joint off the John Legend & The Roots Wake Up! album "Hard Times" (a remake of the Curtis Mayfields original) is a heartfelt, energy driven, headnodic anthem for the troubled strugglers of the big city and it grasped my inner ticker like a bad ass lion on a gazelles ass! I love it when artists don't just try to re-make the originals but actually take them to a whole different place making the tracks they're own by adding they're personal flava and energy to them:

(Click the arrow on the right side of the player to download the track but please do your share in supporting good music as well by copping the album and hittin up the live show if John Legend or The Roots drop by your neck of the woods)

I'm anxious to check out Wake Up! (out September 21) and to figure out what else The Roots and John Legend been cookin up but judging by the previous leaks and the first video it's gonna be a hell of a ride!

BONUS 1: John Legend & The Roots - Shine (off the Wake Up! album out September 21):

Gyptian - Nah Let Go (Video)

2010-09-07T15:34:00.001+02:00

Yezzir! I've been waiting for this one, been giving it some radio rotation for a while and now the video is finally out so its bound to become a hit just like "Hold Yuh", or well, maybe not as big of a hit since the patois is a little heavier on the chorus and not as friendly to the english listeners as "Hold Yuh", but I think it has a little potential.

BACK TO THE 90's tonight + 90's R&B mixtape

2010-08-27T11:17:00.001+02:00

(Click to enlarge)

"Now what we gon' do right here is go back, waaaaaay back, back in to time..." Before I start downright, shamelessly promoting tonight's party, I would like you to take a minute to look at the quote in the beginning of this post and at Jimmy Castor and the Bunch's video for "Troglodyte".
Reason why? Well, your checking this blog for a reason, you expect me to fill in your time void with knowledge, amusement and random facts and fuckery, and since I love to indulge your nasty little habits, here is a snack from the 70's:

Dope uh? You probably heard the "Now what we gon' do right here is go back, waaaaaay back, back in to time..." sample 100 times on a bunch of 90's Hip Hop and R&B joints, but did you know where it came from? Well, I used it for the beginning of my 90's R&B mixtape back in 2008 and I decided to figure out where the original came from. I like ORIGINAL! Original is the shit!

Now, with that out of the way, I'm throwing my monthly BACK TO THE 90's party in Oslo tonight. It's at Oslo's nicest backyard club Fugazi, and it's been the highlight of my club nights every month for over 2 years now. There's something about the 90's that just roars out dope! If your anywhere near Oslo you should drop by and if you mention the blog I'll hook you up with a beer (I don't own the club so I'm gonna have to limit this to the first 6 people). For those of you that don't happen to be in Oslo tonight, I thought I'd give you a little of the 90's treat as a consolation, so I'm hitting you up with the 90's R&B mixtape I put together in '08 so you can chillax, get the night started or play it at your private after parties. It's guaranteed to turn a nun in to a freak, it comes with a feel good lifetime warranty and you get it for free! Who's ya man? Enjoy it and remember who got ya back!

When I got disappointed by the Drake video earlyer on today I thought I had to post something out here that was worth your time. Been meaning to post this video for a minute but with the new studio up and runnin', popcorn, Blu Ray player and surround system on and poppin' in the livingroom, dog buggin' me for snacks, walks and play time and wifey cookin' up some crazy grub that got me knocked out on the couch, it ain't been easy! Trying to enjoy my last days "vacation" before college starts on monday. Yeah...ya boys getting educated!

So without further ado ladies and gentleman, here is Mickey Factz with his new banger that got my head boppin' like a bobblehead "Paradise":

So Drake is out with a new video for "Miss Me" but he might as well not have put out nothing at all. Drake, I'm trying hard to stay interested, but with the same monotomous flow on every joint, lines like "your bitch is as hot as ice" and a boring ass video like this what am I to do? Take a year off and get back at me with some dopeness agan will you? Anywho, video after the jump if your a fan like me and you can't help but to watch it either way...

The track's a banger and it's been tearing up the airwaves lately all over Norway so it was a good look with the video to go with it. Check it out after the jump...

Los Rakas Ft. Faviola - Abrazame (Uproot Andy Hold Yuh Mix) (Video)

2010-08-13T09:41:00.001+02:00

FINALLY, the video for my summer anthem is out! I've been bumping this one like crazy all summer and it was the number one joint when driving down to the beach in St. Tropez and Nice with the fam, wifey and my siss Lucky Chaaaaaaaaarm!

Now I finally got the visuals to go with it. It's about time! Didn't really expect a video tough, so I'm happy it popped up and that it refreshed the tune for me instead of killing it like some other videos do. So enjoy and write panamanian group Los Rakas (residing in Oakland) up for future reference ;)

And here is the lovely Soundcloud player for your downloading pleasure (just press the little arrow on the right side):

Kanye West Ft. Beyonce & Charlie Wilson - See Me Now

2010-08-13T09:20:00.001+02:00

New Kanye joint produced by the man himself, No ID and Lex Luger. Beat sounds like it's been laying around in Kanye's laptop for a while, verses are sick tough. I have to give it up to dude, he's really put in some time in to his lyrics this time round, I mean, he's always been dope, but this time round...Shits hotter than july (anywhere but in Norway).

The verses are dope and it's always cool to get to listen to Charlie and all, but honestly, I expected something a little more innovative on the beat tip. Oh well, can't have it all and I will probably give it some iTunes rotation when "Power" gets worn out if he doesn't drop that new "All Of The Lights" joint he previewed on Ustream that he said should be out in about 2 weeks time.

J. Cole - Blow Up

2010-08-13T08:24:00.001+02:00

For those of you that followed the Supa Fresh blog before I decided to do the .com thing on my own, you already know how I feel about J. Cole and his role in todays Hip Hop circus. For those of you who haven't been following me for that long, to make a long story short, J. Cole's the truth, a 3 course gourmet dinner served at the Hip Hop restaurant where you've been eating Happy Meals for a year now but refusing to change restaurant cause the food used to be the bomb. You thinking tomorrows the day and sometimes you might even get free desert, but truth is, the waiters and the cooks haven't been doing you good for a loooooooooong time. So, now that I got my metaphoring on, it's time to serve you breakfast!

J. Cole produced "Blow Up" himself and like every other track he has put out so far, it's worth every second of your time. The lyrics are sick (as usual), the beat is bangin' and eventough he says "This is song for my haters..." I don't know who the hell he could be talking about, can anybody hate on Grown Simba??? All I can say is, I hope November comes faster than a 14 year old virgin poppin' viagra so we can get that J. Cole album.

Kanye West's "Power" video installation by Marco Brambilla and more of his work

2010-08-07T03:55:00.001+02:00

Kanye West's video for his latest single "Power" is, not unlike the single cover to the left by artist George Condo, nothing less than what you'd expect of one of the greatest artists of our time: creative, groundbreaking, artistic, risky and yet another proof of his hunger for originality and artistic craftsmanship. It's directed by video installation genius Marco Brambilla and to quote Kanye West himself, it's not a video...it's a painting".
You can check it out here:

Cool uh? I liked it too, yet while writing this post I found myself far more interested in exploring Marco Brambilla's work which I was completely unaware of, than on writing about Kanye West's new video the easy way, by attributing him with the credit for the work of art it is.

Marco Brambilla (64) is, according to Wikipedia, an Italian-born Canadian artist and filmmaker who works in the United States. Prior to his decision to focus on video installations in 1998, he directed commercials, feature films and the science fiction movie Demolition Man (1993) starring Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes. After looking through his website and watching some of his other installations, I couldn’t help but to wonder how much time he must have put in to his projects and I am completely stunned by his jaw dropping work. I won’t bore you with a list of his exhibitions and achievements turning this in to an horizontal fact sheet that wouldn’t give you any more pleasure than reading a milk carton and waste your precious time. I will however post one of his video installations and hope that you will enjoy it as much as I have. If you feel like I did, that one video alone is far too little to quiet your craving for more of his amazing work, you can visit his website: marcobrambilla.com.

Serani & Bugle - Feels Like Music (video)

2010-08-06T02:44:00.001+02:00

I usually like most of the stuff both Serani and Bugle put out, but I have to say I ain't too crazy about this one...Beat is wack, lyrics are way too simple, no deejaying, no patois, just plain "let's make a hit" music. Now you might be asking yourself, why are you wasting my time with something you ain't really feeling? Well, there's an answer to that, I love the cheap green screen effects! They could have used it for at least 10 other tracks each, but oh well, better luck next time.

Waka Waka What? The original joint!

2010-08-03T08:55:00.001+02:00

Did you also find it sad that Shakira got the official world cup anthem with "Waka Waka" ages after K'naan did "Wavin' Flag"? "Wavin' Flag" was way better written and uplifting, minus Shakiras booty shaking? And why doesnt the black girl that is featuring in "Waka Waka" get any featuring credits?

I think an african artist should have had the honor to do the official joint don't you? Think of Angélique Kidjo, Cesária Évora or better yet South Africas own Ladysmith Black Mambazo putting theyre blood, sweat and tears in to a track that would come in to the homes of billions! That would have been something to remember!

I actually enjoy much of the "Waka Waka" joint, I don't blame Shakira for any of this, I think she did a great job and that she is a great artist. True my forehead looks like a shar-pei during the verses at times, but I guess it's my old Hip Hop (pre Hip-"Pop" era) anti-everything comercial state of mind kicking in, I shake it off real quick by thinking of the millions of kids the song appeals to.

Now that we got that out of the way, what I had foreseen as a short post turned in to a long ass lecture. I just wanted to say that I found the original track that Shakira samples and that I am pleased to have a "Waka Waka" I can listen to and spin without having to feel like I'm supporting THE MACHINE! Hehehehe...

The original version is performed by the cameroonian group Golden Sounds and is called "Zangaléwa" (sometimes also referred to as "Zamina mina"). In the video, they wore military outfits, fake beards, stomachs and asses and they made funny dances to ridicule the soldiers. The song was such a success that the group eventually changed they're name to "Zangaléwa". The lyrics of the song criticise the black soldiers that allied with white to oppress they're own people.

Golden Sounds: I SALUTE YOU!

PS: Shakiras fi-iiiiiine!

UPDATE: Turns out 80's merengue girl group Las Chicas del Can from the Dominican Republic did a version of "Waka Waka" back in '82 already! It was called "El Negro No Puede" and its considered to be a merengue classic! Check out the video:

Cacique '97 - Sr. Diplomata (video)

2010-07-31T16:55:00.001+02:00

- Afro-Beat group Cacique '97 from Portugal/Mozambique just put out theyre new video for "Sr. Diplomata" featuring Hip Hop artists from Portugal, Angola and Cape Verde.

One of them is one of my favourite MC's from Lisboa from back in the day Sagas. I remember recording this radio show more than 10 years ago where Sagas and Mars did a track that I listened too continuously everyday for like a month! If anybody out there has it, HIT ME UP! The chorus went something like:

"Yo, Sagas estás comigo? Ya mano tou contigo. Na boa e no perigo, podes contar comigo..."

But back to the video and the track, feeling it, I definitely need to check out the album. I'll keep you guys posted.

- Boa onda, curti memo!
