Shoutouts to the art department for putting together one of the freshest lyric videos I’d seen in some time. Usually these are just a bunch of flying and disorienting text, this for Common’s “Blue Sky” off his upcoming The Dreamer / The Believer brings comic sans (yeah i know) together with the Chicago skyline for an exhilarating and uplifting effect.

Check it out below and look out for The Dreamer / The Believer coming soon.

I guess off the back of the recently announced OFWGTA Tour dates, Frank Ocean is getting a nice bundle of solo spots for himself. Currently announced are 3 dates hitting his home town of New Orleans (November 5) then traipsing up to New York (November 6) and finally closing out in Los Angeles (November 15).

I can only hope that these are just the preliminary dates for more people need to hear his amazing music, and I need more than one chance to experience it live.

Frank & OFWGKTA dates after the jump.

On the list of “Cool Shit I’d Wish I’d Been There To See” this one is right there.
Portishead + Chuck D.

The above video comes from this past weekend’s All Tomorrow’s Parties festival in Asbury Park, NJ. The performance is a mash up of sorts. As Portishead make their way through “Machine Gun” Chuck D takes the mic and drops in a few of his verses from “Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos”. Enjoy.

We’re all familiar with Skrillex’s killer “Scary Monsters & Nice Sprites” so no introduction is needed, unless there were some sort of faithful rendition done with live instruments and a little distortion.

Oh wait there is one.

The above and below comes courtesy of Pinn Panelle:

There are no sequences, or backing tracks playing behind the band. All wobbles are live.

We all remember the video above from a few weeks ago, well at least I do and with it I put BlakRoc II on my watch list with my Google Alerts to
update me daily on any news. . . so yeah now I feel like an ass.

Details after the jump.

I may have a way of hearing these things early so I must tell you to get DJ Shadow’s latest The Less You Know, The Better and you should listen. To the longtime Shadow fans I have no doubt this will be another dose of aural crack, but to the uninitiated, he’s on the Mount Rushmore of this mashup game that’s taken hold the last few years, so as they say . . . Get Familiar!

Head over to NPR’s First Listen (HERE) to stream DJ Shadow’s latest in full. Enjoy.

Adult Swim & Scion obviously love us as music fans. Continuing with their collaboration of bringing forward thinking music to the masses, they’ve linked up yet again for a free release of rare or unreleased music by some of the outstanding purveyors of bass music. Titled Unclassified they bring together Zomby, SBTRKT, Burial, Boxcutter, & more for 18 tracks of goodness.

If I didn’t make it clear or mention it before, its FREE. Head to the official page to stream and download –> CLICK ME!

Provocative piece of imagery attached to J. Cole’s track “Daddy’s Little Girl”. A story of shattered dreams and mislead desires matched poignantly with two intertwining scenes of a young ballerina and the psyche of an exotic dancer.

Peep it below.
