A love of bubble tea is a non-negotiable for me, too.

DOWNLOAD: “Moonday School (Intergalactic Church)” (THEESatisfaction)
Download “Moonday School (Intergalactic Church)“, the first track from their forthcoming mixtape, THEESatisfaction Loves The Sa-Ra Creative Partners.
Who says in space no one can hear you sing?…
VIDEO: “Dukes of the Hood” (Brothers From Another f/Rebel)
A nice look by Brothers From Another. These dudes have been paying attention to the styles that came before them. Young ‘uns looking to take over.
DOWNLOAD: “Michelle Malkin” (Prometheus Brown)
The stars aligned for Prometheus Brown when he found inspiration in two places on opposite ends of the spectrum: the transcendent r&b stylings of the beautiful Sade, and the out-of-touch neocon ramblings of beautiful disaster Michelle Malkin.
He flips both on this track. One is paid an ironic homage, the other gets burned by Pro Brown’s verbal fire — you can probably guess who gets what. Read why here. Click on the flattering pic below for the download link.
VIDEO: “Do Something” (Dyme Def)
This video “makes me feel kinda funny, like when we used to climb the rope in gym class.”
“Do Something” reminds me of every song LL Cool J made after 1993. Not saying it’s a bad thing, just saying I know Dyme Def aren’t talking to the dudes on this one.
SHOW: Ladies Night @ Neumos (2.9.10)
You should hit this up. Here are three reasons why:
1. THEESatisfaction: Two dope ladies who will undoubtedly be responsible for planting Town Music’s flag on the national scene. If you don’t know, get hip.
2. Canary Sing: Ditto.
3. It’s LADIES NIGHT: And about damn time women who practice this art form called hip-hop with equal love and flair as their male counterparts get recognized with their own show. Matter of fact, f*ck that — start putting these women on the same bills with them dudes! I wanna see Lioness (of Canary) spit bars with Fatal Lucciauno.
PUT THESE WOMEN ON, NOW. That is all.
DOWNLOAD: “Diamonds” (Fatal Lucciauno)

DOWNLOAD: “The Calling” (Logics f/Freeway & Element)
On the heels of the Jake One/Freeway Rhymesayers collabo (Stimulus Package), comes hungry-as-a-bear rhyme animal, Logics. The man also known as Young Ghangas goes in with Free and Element on “The Calling”. Click below to download.
“The Whole is Greater Than…”
“…the sum of its parts” is certainly an adage applicable to the best hip-hop groups. Still, Sabzi and Geo (aka. Prometheus Brown) are pretty f*cking great when they’re doing their own thing, too.
Pro Brown drops some of his solo guest shots on this post from his personal blog, Prometheus Brown — with commentary (love that!).

DOWNLOAD: “Special” (D. Black & Fatal Lucciauno)
From D. Black and B. Brown’s forthcoming collabo, Black and Brown EP, comes this conscious slow-burner, “Special” (featuring fellow Sportn’ Lifer Fatal Lucciauno). Black is always at his best on these mid-tempo tracks. Sounds like he’s marching toward the light again…
