Theophilus London – I Want You (Mixtape)
Tracklist and link down bottom. Enjoy!Shortly before we got his third mixtape I WANT YOU, Theophilus London released a DIY promo video for the track “Life Of A Lover”. The record loops lazily to show us a new look: pretty girls dancing with each other at a show, young dudes headnodding, the crush of cameras and hard flash that now follows us everywhere we go, a cut to Theophilus in monochrome riding in a Vespa gang through Chinatown en route to Brooklyn and then back to the dance—a mic cord drifting slowly in and out of the frame and his hand reaching out to bring a girl on stage. That is all and this is it: inspired by Marvin Gaye’s self-imposed European exile and controversial performance of the national anthem at the 1983 NBA All Star game, I WANT YOU is a collection of dark jams that restlessly examines the promise of love beyond lifestyle. Touching on LA electrofunk, UK indie, tropical escapade and obscure afropop you never knew existed, these are stories from the way we live now: missed connections and misunderstandings, video chats and retweets, returns and deliverables. We know today is all black everything but more to the point: this is now noir as we know it. And this is Theophilus London.

Crumb comics, Dr. Lakra’s work blurs cultural identities as it explores tensions between the group and the individual, the sacred and the profane.

Update: Eminem Speaks On New Album, “Recovery”
“I had originally planned for Relapse 2 to come out last year,” says Eminem. “But as I kept recording and working with new producers, the idea of a sequel to Relapse started to make less and less sense to me, and I wanted to make a completely new album. The music on Recovery came out very different from Relapse, and I think it deserves its own title.” The Album drops June 22nd.

GhostWridah - Coldest Winter (Video)
Today is a very trying day for me. I’m blogging from the hospital as I await the doctor to tell me weather my Grandmother is going to live or die. She had a seizure that lasted for an hour which could’ve resulted in serious brain damage. I was suppose to release this video tonight at 8pm but decided to do so now. It’s funny how life works… I thought about releasing this video a few days ago and scheduled it to release today — around the 1:17 mark of the video I discuss my grandmothers illness not knowing that she’d be in the hospital fighting for her life on the very day I set for release. With that said I dedicate this video to Doris Horton, my Grandma & inspiration. My love for you runs as deep as an ocean. -GW

Mos Def Makes “History” In France
Forest Lab x Kobe Shirt "Only Kings Have Rings"
"This is a T-shirt design collaboration between the me (MattCory) and Garrett Campbell, the creative mind behind TheForestLab.com The original idea was to just have a graphite pencil drawing of Kobe wearing the crown, to simulate the famous crowned Biggie Smalls picture, But I wanted to add the Lakers colors in a cross sketch/hand drawn style, and this is what I came up with. This design was drawn with color pencils and took me about 6 hours between the front and the back of the shirt. You can order the shirt at "TheForestLab.com"
