Arrested Development - Miracles
Posted by eddie | Filed under hip-hop
This track comes from Arrested Development’s 2006 album Since The Last Time. Well, the time is NOW for some new old school Hip-Hop! The undeniable talents of Speech, the brains and music behind the band, remain very much intact, as always aided by stunning female soul vocals and a rhythm section evidently raised on a funk/soul diet of Kool And The Gang and Curtis Mayfield.

Raashan Ahmad - Bring Me Back
Posted by eddie | Filed under New Singles, hip-hop
Track from his 2008 album Push. “…This album is a return to basics, that good ol’ boom bap, the beats and rhymes. I needed to get in touch with the other side of me, the side of me who loved Run DMC, BDP, and the 808 Machine. It was where I started as an MC and I needed to touch that again…This is a non-collaborative effort born out of my own fears, insecurities, observations, triumphs, and tragedies. It is therapy over beats” - Ahmad. “Mixing positive messages and live instrumentation, Raashan Ahmad brings forward thinking hip-hop to the masses. Check it out!

Kanye West - Champion Video
Posted by admin | Filed under Music Videos, hip-hop
This is by far Kanye West’s best video to date. I really loved the ‘Good Life’ clip, but that was just basically the hip hop video version of Justice’s D.A.N.C.E clip - pure biting. That isnt to discredit Kanye for the job they did on that music video, but it is left way behind compared to this one. Even if this clip isn’t the real video and just part of some promotion event, I respect Kanye doing something completely left field on this one.
