[MP3 + Music Video] Tasha the Amazon – Scallywags feat. Cola of Wifetaker

I posted this song before when it originally dropped (although that streaming link was subsequently taken down for some reason) but I’m posting it again now that the video has been released because I liked the song that much and still do! Then again, I’m glad I wasn’t on set for this video shoot though. Don’t think I could party with these ladies: they go a little too hard for me (or I hope that’s really water and not vodka they’re guzzling!)

Selections from my Long List ballot for the 2013 Polaris Music Prize

Still a pretty balanced ballot for me this year versus last year even with my picking three hip-hop albums versus only one (!) last year.

Here’s a quick look at some of the tracks from my Long List picks:

1. Zaki Ibrahim – Every Opposite

2. Jai Nitai Lotus – Something You Feel

3. KJ – Water

4. SonReal and Rich Kidd – The Closers

5. Metz – METZ

Whatchu think??

[MP3 + Music Video] Saidah Baba Talibah – High

The (S)cream album’s been out for a minute but this video for the “High” track from it just dropped recently. You can listen to the album in full here: Facebook | Bandcamp

I was gonna include a link to her crowd-funding page for her new album but it appears the campaign has ended and was successful. Congrats, Saidah. Now go make a great record!

[MP3] Rich Kidd – In My Opinion

I slept on Rich Kidd‘s recent solo album, In My Opinion. The title track is one of the highlights from it. Ya dig? Listen to the whole thing HERE.
