Music Video: Kardinal Offishall – The Anthem

MP3 Download: Kardinal Offishall – The Anthem by samhdot

I know I’m late on this but like, Kardi says, muh’f-ckin’ T.dot STAND UP, anyway!!! I’m loving this just for the screengrab of Kardi sitting on the Malvern Town Centre sign. Of course, even though that’s a ‘hood near me notorious for drugs, gangs and violence my only interaction with it is visiting the office of my old doctor before I had moved to NYC and going to the library there now! [*nerd status….*]

Music Video: Eternia & Moss – Goodbye

I know this isn’t new but I think a lot of y’all slept on this Toronto female MC’s At Last album which dropped last Summer. DON’T!!!! It was one of the best hip hop records of 2010 and more hardcore than a lot of the music by the so-called top MC’s in the game who get all the attention on radio and television. And it wasn’t just me who thought that: Eternia did get hella press acclaim. At Last is worth your time if you love great, hip hop in the classic boom-bap tradition: check it on iTunes HERE.

Throwback Music: Beat Junkies (Eclipse feat. Arcee) – World Premier (prod. Jake One)

Gotta thank the homie, Del from Vibes and Stuff for the heads up on this one.

This is Arcee from The Real Frequency featured on a track from the 1998 album, The World Famous Beat Junkies, Vol. 2. Had no idea he was an artist but dude really walks it like he talks it! He’s not just another frustrated, wannabe MC (“You wanna be an MC…”) blogging. Not only is he a radio personality on a real, commercial radio station, not just college or internet radio (no disrespect intended to those who do that) but he has actually made some real deal, honest-to-goodness records too! And they’re on some real hip hop ish to boot, respect! And for you hip hop historian, nerd types out there, this was apparently Jake One‘s first official production and features beat juggling by DJ Rhettmatic of the Beat Junkies.

Also look out for Arcee’s “Super Educated” and the posse cut, “Stripes” featuring Kardinal Offishall, Brassmunk and IRS on the homeboy, Beni B’s ABB Records.

Bonus:

Hit the jump for a brand new (and FIYA!) track, “Sneak Sneak” by Arcee & Marvel from an upcoming project called Covert Ops.

New Music: Jazz Cartier – Jaguar Jazzy

Not bad. I’ve featured this kid before on the old Kitchen. Flow-wise, he reminds me a little of MIMS (“The Black George Constanza…”??!) on this new track that dropped on Jan 11 (d’uh!), but I digs the beat….
