[Mixtape] Thunderball – Theme Music for Players and Ladies
From the homies over at Couch Sessions who premiered this:
“The trio of Rob Myers, Steve Raskin and Sid Barcelona, also known as Thunderball, has been on the international scene for a minute now. As purveyors of sound under Washington, DC’s ESL Music, the trio blends their electronic sounds with old school cinematic influences. Known as the purveyors of sound, Thunderball has been on the scene since 1997, beginning with drum and bass and dub sounds, and morphing into the multi-faceted sound that you hear today.
Like many ESL artists, they sky is the limit for Thunderball, and they have even collaborated with the legendary . Their latest effort, 12 Mile High dropped this past November to rave reviews (some on this site), and the trio are slated to play Coachella this April. Their latest mix, Theme Music for Players and Ladies blends all of their sounds over such artists as Tupac and Aloe Blacc. Enjoy….”

[MP3] Introducing New Artist LeCrae – Rehab (FULL album stream)
Something a little different for Sundays here at The Kitchen:
“Lupe Fiasco and Malice are reportedly championing Christian Hip Hop star LeCrae. He’s selling more records in the last year than Rap’s stars, and he’s still new to many. HipHopDX aims to change that.”

Check out his Rehab album. There’s actually a couple gems on there and the message, while fairly explicit, doesn’t feel overly, for want of a better word, preachy:

[Music Video] Hiatus – Insurrection (feat. Linton Kwesi Johnson)
This is my roots right here in a video! Peep game:
“This track is called ‘Insurrection’ and features vocals from the legendary dub poet Linton Kwesi Johnson. This track remembers the Brixton Riots of 1981. Both Hiatus and Linton Kwesi Johnson call Brixton home. Though the area has changed over time, when people go on about 1981 being the year of the Royal Wedding of Charles & Diana, they should remember that the folks in many cities had more pressing concerns: Unemployment, racial harassment, police harassment, inner cities burning… plus ca change la meme chose, as the French say.
This video looks like it’s from news footage of the time, and if this doesn’t make you burn with righteous indignation…God help you. The Tory politician Norman Tebbit had the insolence at the time to say that ‘My Father didn’t riot. He got on his bike and looked for work.’ (Screw you, Tory scum.) My A-Level Politics teacher used to say that ‘Riots are the ballot box of the poor.’ She was unquestionably right.”
