[MP3 + Music Video] Flying Lotus – Coronus, The Terminator

Amazing video for an amazing song from a great album. Also check the cool flip by NYC underground MC, Hus Kingpin, a cat I only just got up on recently because of his recent collab with the homie, Agallah the Don, after the jump.

[MP3] Pops Staples – Somebody Was Watching

This is so cool (although I kind of wish someone like Questlove or Mark Ronson would have been given a shot to produce this). Fifteen years after Pops Staples, patriarch of the iconic Staple Singers died, daughter Mavis Staples has teamed up with her collaborative partner Jeff Tweedy (producer of her albums, You Are Not Alone and One True Vine) to finish the recordings of his final tracks that he made in 1999. The tracks will be released as Don’t Lose This on February 17 via Wilco‘s dBpm imprint and Anti-.

[Event] TONIGHT in Toronto: Rapsody Live at Studio Bar with 9th Wonder

I won’t lie, I totally missed Rapsody‘s Beauty and the Beast EP to my detriment. This female MC is FIYA and for my fellow T.dot/GTA residents, she is playing here TONIGHT! I suggest you act accordingly and get down to this show. I’ll be there. Will you?

To listen to more Rapsody music, check out her mixtapes on Bandcamp HERE.

[MP3 + Music Video] FKA Twigs – Pendulum

546/MOU put me up on this stunning video by an artist who I first paid attention to because of all the hype surrounding her but was kind of nonplussed by what I heard when I went to see her live last Summer. Yet by year-end, her album, LP1 had totally won me over and become one of my favorites of the year.
