[Album Stream] Signif – Significant Wizdom II: Atypical
And even more hip-hop. I discovered this one completely by accident on Good Tunes while shuffling through, er… shuffle.fm. This is super-dope! When I say I think this young lady just made the album Shortie No Mas was supposed to 15 yrs ago, I mean that in the very best way possible….
[Album Stream] New Artist: Introducing Skipp Whitman – 5AM
Been really digging this BK by way of Boston MC, Skipp Whitman‘s 5AM album since I started checking it out yesterday. Skipp handles all the completely original (no sample) production himself and it is impeccable. Vocally he reminds me of the homie, D-sisive at times and a little bit of friend of The Kitchen, T.Shirt as well but overall, this is kind of fresh to my ears. I digs! What about y’all??
If you like what you hear and you’re in the NYC area, Skipp has a show at Arelene’s Grocery in the LES tomorrow evening. Hit the jump for more details.
Nov. 23 and 24 are Adbuster’s Buy Nothing Day
Better late than never, more Black Friday food for thought:
Until we challenge the entrenched values of capitalism – that the economy must always keep growing, that consumer wants must always be satisfied, that immediate gratification is imperative – we’re not going able to fix the gigantic psycho-financial-eco crisis of our times.
The journey towards a sane sustainable future begins with a single step. It could all start with a personal challenge, such as this: make a vow to yourself to participate in Buy Nothing Day this year. This November 23rd, go cold turkey on consumption for 24 hours … see what happens … you just might have an unexpected, emancipatory epiphany!
Buy Nothing Day is legendary for instigating this type of personal transformation … as you suddenly remember what real living is all about … you sense an upsurge of radical empowerment and feel a strange magic creeping back into your life.
Join millions of us in over 60 countries on November 23/24 and see what it feels like. Then, after Buy Nothing Day, take the next step … for generations, Christmas has been hijacked by commercial forces … this year, let’s take it back.

[Album Stream] Listen to the SZA – See.SZA.Run EP in FULL!
Cool chillout-with-beats vibes that I would describe as falling somewhere in between electronic pop-soul and trip hop if you put a gun to my head and forced me to put labels on this. In a better world I would just call it good music. Worth your time….
Ya dig? Then hit the jump for the video for track 6 on the EP, “Country”…
