You might have heard Charles Hamilton’s name buzzing about lately - lazy cracker ass indie journos have been calling dude “the new Kanye“, mainly because he rocks pink polos and makes his own beats. Hardly.
Dude can rap - as evidenced by this footage below, wherein dude spits off the dome for 9 minutes straight. Is that a little Em I hear in the flow?
Whatever, the youngling has skills for weeks, as evidenced on his new Green Lantern helmed-mixtape - give it a listen over here. The Sonic fascination is endearing, as is the “where’s my fucking Genesis?” hook on the lead track.
I just heard my buddy Marvin’s debut LP is finally coming out on July 28th.
Whooo!
If that wasn’t all, word from Camp Marvin (II) is another LP will drop a month after.
WHOOO!
Two Marvin albums in as many months!
If that happens the world will become twice as cool as it is. How cool would that be?
Twice as cool.
That’s how cool.
Check Marvin’s blog for the Devil In The Distance sleeve and tracklisting. That picture there seems to be the cover of Marvin’s new mixtape which I am told is “online in 10 or so days.”
“It’s hard as hell,” writes Tego. “We’re finishing the recording on it today. We had like 34 tracks to choose from, we only ended up cutting about 9. We’re shooting a video for the mixtape single ‘Great Day’ which is a cover of Ice Cube’s classic ‘It Was a Good Day’ did I send you that yet?”
No you haven’t you swine! Send me that now!
In the meantime, check this fly joint called Fight Or Flee from Devil In The Distance. I have had it on repeat for about 20 minutes, it is ace on stilts.
It’s funny being a top notch music producer. For the past thirty minutes or so 16 bars of a song that basically involves some kicks, some snares, and some bass have been thuddering, snapping, and wibbling between a pair of excellent, individually powered KRK Systems monitors (which is what we top notch music producers call speakers) that sit on either side of my desk, trapping my face in a rainbow of dense repetitive noise.Envyis sat on the sofa wittering rhythmically to herself.
Envy writes pretty damn quick, actually. She’s quicker than most rappers I’ve seen. She’s better than most rappers too. Envy will shit on pretty much any emcee you throw at her. Envy drinks laxative. The world is her toilet.
Actually, no word of a lie, she just looked up from her pad with some trumph, and said, “there, finished.” She followed that with, “can I use your toilet?”
John Karborn was in my toilet for 23 minutes this morning. I haven’t dared go in since.
What was Little Wayne’s latest “I Am The Shit” metaphor? Something about leaving skid marks on every sofa he sits on. I think that’s more likely to be a literal thing, actually. Ask Ghostface, a ton of coke will make you shit yourself.
Magnum P.I and Littles were round yesterday to lace barage for the Click Clack Blam remix. Pix took some sneaky footage. I thought he was looking at photos you know. Sneak Pix!
Oh shit!
