Let me start out by saying this is easily one of my favorite albums of all time! The Dynospectrum was an extremely underrated yet highly talented underground rap group from Minneapolis, Minnesota consisting of Beyond aka Musab(General Woundwart), Slug of Atmosphere(Sept Sev Sev Two), Swift of Phull Surkle(Mr. Gene Poole), and I-Self Divine of Micranots(Pat Juba). This extraordinary album was produced in its entirety by none other than the magical early works of Ant which is to this very day one half of Atmosphere. This album being the only one the Dynospectrum has done together, was recorded in a basement and released in 1998. Around that time of underground hip-hop, Minneapolis was building a strong name for themselves in that scene by surfacing some of the most eerie, talented, and intelligent emcees to date. Ant's early production as you may tell if you are familiar with his work, was very raw and gritty sampling some of the darkest jazz that smoothly rides over his divine drum hits creative nothing but classic hip-hop for your listening indulgence. Its a shame these emcees don't collide on tracks like they used to anymore because the lyrical content and supreme delivery brought to the table by these 4 menace's was nothing short of "the real deal holyfield". I can go on about this album for hours but let me just end this discussion with me(Al-Nitty) giving this masterpiece 5 stars and treating you all with an audio preview and download link below. Goto your local bodega and grab the freshest grape dutchess, fill it with some grade-A broccoli and enjoy this dark and eerie ride into the heart of Minneapolis's underground hip-hop scene of the late 90's.
Talib Kweli's debut album with DJ Hi-Tek entitled "Reflection Eternal" was easily one of my favorite albums of all time and I'm sure most of you true heads out there will agree for the most part. It's been almost 9 years since this dynamic duo has reunited for a second album and they will most likely deliver the heat this coming summer of '09! I feel like a little kid on christmas eve waiting impatiently to see what gifts are in store for me that following morning when it comes to this album. Here is what appears to be a possible single off the album called "Back Again". The video shows Talib Kweli at the Chop Shop in New York with several interesting cameos one being Stay High 149 (Wayne Roberts) which is a pioneer in the graffiti game. I have some funny stories from hanging out with that guy a couple times back in the day ahha. Watch the video below.
For all you Mos Def fans out there I'm sure you are just as ecstatic about this album as I am no pun intended. His new album is slated for a June 9th release and I pray and hope that he will bring the heat this time around because his last album "True Magic" didn't impress me. Heres a teaser that was put together by Coodie And Chike for Mos Def's 4th solo album entitled "Ecstatic".
An Air Jordan 1 has to be extremely nice for me to wanna wear it simply because A. they kill me feet like you cannot believe, and B. they just don't catch my eye as much as other sneakers tend to. I enjoy this new colorway that has just surfaced the net because of its simplicity with the coloring and the varsity letter materialized swoosh that caught my eye instantly. The shoe features a pleasant black leather upper with yellow contrast stitching and red laces and outsole accompanied with that varsity letter swoosh I previously mentioned. Bad news is this is rumored to be an Asia exclusive only. Stay tuned for future information on this release.
Besides all of the DJ Spice posts, most of the material I put on this site has some sort of purpose and importance. Forgive me but I could not resist putting this video up a.s.a.p.! I went to highschool with this character and we used to be friends, but he moved away and I havent seen him in at least 6 years. I stumbled upon his myspace a couple months back and he constantly puts new videos up weekly that in my opinion are the most ridiculously hilarious videos to date! I introduce to you the mysterious Tony G.
Yours truly (Al-Nitty) originally was supposed to call Dj Spice back and impersonate being The Original Spice's (Dyllz) Italian mobster father! Unfortunately like the idiot I tend to be, I forgot to put *67 before the number so Spice instantly knew it was us ruining everything! I proceed with the jokes regardless if he knew or not i wasn't quitting. Watch this ridiculously outlandish video below.
Dolla Dyllz came up with a great concept for a video being that he would prank DJ Spice claiming he had the name first before our Jersey City native! Dolla Dyllz really gets spice heated. Watch the video below.
With the release of the first installment to the Air Yeezy Trilogy last week, I must say I have never seen such hype revolve around a single shoe like this in my entire life! Last weekend was absolutely insane being that the absolute only thing on the masses minds was the Nike Air Yeezy. I fortunately was able to get a pair for myself and might I add that shoe is nothing short of pure flames! In the following months of May and June there will be the last 2 pairs of the trilogy releasing once again in limited numbers, but to my surprise a new sample picture has risen today for a possible 4th colorway! It features a perforated black leather upper with hints of grey throughout the toe box and lace holes accompanied with a fire red midsole and glow in the dark outsole. I have seen this shoe previously on Kanye's feet before shortly after he premiered them for the first time at the Grammy's in '08 but I never thought they were going to release since the first 3 colors he chose to come out with first haven't been seen before. No info on when and if these will release but I will be 100% sure to keep you posted. Feast your eyes on this insanely dope makeup of quite possibly the 4th Air Yeezy!
