At a time in the late 70's to early 80's when the shine of disco balls began to dim, and when people started to trade their afro's for a gheri curl, came some really good music.This music of that era is somewhat of the bastard child of disco and R&B, and has been dubbed and grouped together in a new mix compilation by DJ Spinna entitled "The Boogie Back: Post Disco Jams" on BBE Records."A child...

So our favorite rapper Weezy is the subject of what looks like a fairly serious documentary about his life. Aptly entitled "The Carter," the film is "an in-depth look at the artist Dwayne LIL' WAYNE Carter Jr, proclaimed by many as the 'greatest rapper alive.' With comprehensive and personal interviews with Lil' Wayne, this film also features insight from those that know him best."Yea we hear ...

Released digitally in September and on CD this month is Oh No's "Ethiopium" album on Stones Throw Records.For those of you that don't know, Oh No is Madlib's younger brother, and their father is Otis Jackson, so it looks like talent runs deep in this family.

This annual electronic music event attr...

It's pretty hard for Justice to put their remix stamp on a song and it not come out good. Think of Justice like a slice of cheese - you could have the most f'd up sandwhich, but you put a slice of cheese on it, and it suddenly becomes a slammin ass sandwhich. The Justice remix of Lenny Kravitz's "Let Love Rule" is no exception. But what we really appreciate is how clever this new video for the ...
