Introducing Chuck Tailor – the Good.Luck.Chuck.SomeX.Music.Sux EP

Here’s another new MC from the West Coast that I’m diggin’. Check it out and tell me if you agree with my call on this one. Here’s the official plug:

“The homie, Chuck Tailor from Los Angeles, CA and his gang come together with a heavy new free EP of dope music. A short collection of some raw hip hop sh-t. He recorded this whole record in one evening, no soundproofing, no engineers, just him, some green and a couple of Heinekens.”

One evening?! Wow! His Good.Luck.Chuck.SomeX.Music.Sux EP is a free download but hit the jump for an mp3 stream and download of one of the tracks (shared for hype machine purposes), “eMerson.Interupt(Gotta.Feeling)” (produced by Sen Beatz) and sampling (I believe) Stephanie Mills’ “What Cha Gonna Do With My Lovin’.”

The Kardashian Sisters Decide they don’t want to be Predatory Lenders after all!

Another WTF??!

“A Minnesota lender on Monday halted sales of a prepaid debit card featuring an image of the Kardashian sisters, after Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal said the card carried “outrageous” fees that unfairly targeted financially unsophisticated young adults.

The St. Paul-based company said it was reviewing its agreement with the Kardashians’ company Dash Dolls LLC to ensure that card holders get refunds, and would work to ensure that card holders “experience as little inconvenience as possible.””
