NEW Q-TIP ALBUM

So the new Q-Tip album is leaking and has been leaked. I've heard the whole thing and this is one of the stand out tracks. The beat is from an old J-Dilla beat tape, great to hear an MC up on it now. If you're in the mood for some of that knockin' hip-hop shit then download this, smoke one, put on your walkman (err i mean Ipod) & catch a tag.

Q-TIP "MOVE"

60's SOUL REVIVAL

I'M REALLY FEELING THE SMALL MUSIC SCENE MOVEMENTS GOING ON IN SAN FRANCISCO RIGHT NOW. FOR THE PAST YEAR OR SO THE HIPSTER KIDS ARE TURNING THERE 80'S UNIFORM & ANNOYING ELECTRO HOUSE, AND ROCKING SOME SERIOUS 60'S SOUL PARTY'S. I RECENTLY PLAYED AT MY FRIENDS GIG AND I MUST SAY I HAVEN'T HAD SO MUCH FUN IN A LONG TIME. THE TRACKS ARE STRAIGHT UP DANCE FLOOR AND THIS RE MIX BY KENNY DOPE FOR SHARON JONES & THE DAP KINGS IS RIDICULOUS.

DUG THIS ONE OUT THE CRATE JUST FOR YOU. LAST WEEK I PLAYED AN ALL VINYL DOWNTEMPO, INST SET AND DURING THAT PROCESS I REDISCOVERED SOME OLD HIP HOUSE ON SOME B-SIDES. THE HIP HOUSE MOVEMENT WAS SHORT LIVED, BUT THE MUSIC THAT CAME OUT OF THAT PERIOD IS WHAT'S FUELING THE DANCE FLOORS OF TODAY.
