Lil Wayne serenades hip hop model Lisa Marie in his latest tune, “Lisa Marie.” How do we know it’s about her? Well, amongst other things, both the lady in the tune and the lady in this photo have a butterfly on their upper thigh, so it’s a pretty solid guess:
A-Trak and Sinden are nearing the end of their North American tour with Steve Aoki. I can’t wait til they hit San Fran next week, especially after hearing A-Trak and Sinden gang up on Kid Sister with with this acid-funk-adelic remix of “Beeper”:
Jr Gong Damian Marley premiered his new video this week for “One Loaf Of Bread (Something For You)”. The tune is off the Gang War riddim compilation on Tuff Gong Records and the video is beautifully shot on 8mm film. The black and white super 8mm footage was all shot in Haiti, while the color super 8mm footage was all shot in South Africa.

Gang War riddim is becoming a favorite of mine this year. Every tune I’ve heard on this militant production is heart-felt and serious. The music brings a real conscious vibe that made even Damian sound good! ([More →])
Dizzee Rascal flew from London to Houston to meet up with Bun B and film the video for “Where’s Da G’s?” B gives D a tour of his hood and hooks him up with a sweet deal on a pair of X-Ray G Glasses.
Dizzee Rascal + Bun B “Where’s Da G’s?” Video:
Unfortunately, Pimp C does not appear in the video, but his verses are on the album edit of this song. BIG Big Choon off the US release of Maths + English from Definitive Jux.
“Where’s Da G’s” with Bun B and Pimp C is the best US/UK hip hop crossover recorded so far….
The Energy God gets to know the “Gully Creepa” in his new video. Elephant Man told the Observer, “We just release the video and it bad. We have the dance lock and throw way di key.” The song is off Elephant Man’s loooooong awaited LP Let’s Get Physical and the video was directed by Julia Braham.
Lots of Lil Wayne tunes in the player this week - check it out: We’ve been bumpin “Lollipop” for awhile now, and Flo-Rida’s “American Gangsta” featuring Lil Wayne. Now we have a tune called “Millie” though I’m not sure that’s the right title (I’ll look into it today). It’s supposed to be off the upcoming Carter III. I love it, especially because it doesn’t sound like a song. It sounds like Lil Wayne just having a conversation over music. Listen here:
“Millie” and “Lollipop” are reported to be on Lil Wayne’s Carter III. Lil Wayne also collaborated on a track for Static/Major’s debut, Suppertime which you can listen to here:
Bay Area producer Mochipet is set to release his genre-jumpin new album, Microphonepet, everywhere on April 1st.

Pace Won and Mr. Green are one DJ and one MC - styled after hip hop heroes Erik B and Rakim. The duo dropped their new video for “Hip Hop” this week, waxing poetic about what’s become of rap.
The song is off the duo’s debut album The Only Color That Matters Is Green, due to hit the streets May 23rd. ([More →])
