[Music Video] Santigold – Big Mouth

Loved Santi‘s debut album but for those who said she was too much of an M.I.A. knock-off, this new Switch and Buraka Som Sistema-produced track is not exactly going to convince them otherwise! Dig the track though? Download “Big Mouth” HERE.

[Music Video] Notes to Self – All of the Above [BBRC]

MP3 Download: All of the Above [BBRC] by NotestoSelf

“Feeling like Frontiersman, we grew our beards and arrived in Mactier at 7:30pm. Cold as f*ck. 4 hour drive North. Pitch black outside. Cabin smelled like pine and rosé. Dropped our bags, chose our beds, Bronze took the air mattress. Half hour till the NBA Dunk-Off. Donk was geeked. Flat screen, satellite, middle-of-nowhere. Heats on. Lee is lit. Drunk off Timbits. Blake Griffin jumps over a car. Here to shoot a music video.

Eric suggested we charge the equipment. Didn’t knock on wood. Inexcusable in a cabin. Power went out. Cold as f*ck. Pitch black inside. Cabin smelled like weed and sulfur. Dropped our plans, went to bed, Bronze froze on the air mattress. 5 hours till daylight. Rosh is lit. Left-over Timbits for breakfast. Last night Blake Griffin jumped over a car. Here to shoot a music video, with Ben to direct. A take on rap’s pioneers, we planned to wear fur. The events that followed were captured on camera; All of the Above took place. This is a true story. *No animals were harmed in the making of this video.”

– Notes to Self

Not only is this a cool-ass song but the video is beautifully shot. Don’t skip this ‘cos you’re not familiar with this group’s name. CHECK IT OUT!!!

Brand New for 2012: King Reign – Brand New (MP3)

“This is the first single off of the Free Trade Agreement originally an idea from Canadian Shadyvile dj’s representative, Dow Jones.”

I actually didn’t even know about this dropping today, I just happened to be looking for an streaming embed of the old King Reign track, “Money” featuring Saukrates and Kardinal Offishall as my homegirl, A had posted it on her brand new 546inthemorning tumblr (BTW: GO CHECK THAT OUT!) yesterday and I wanted to do a throwback post on the track as I slept on posting it when it had first come out. Hit the jump for “Money” if you missed it, it’s worth your time.
