Chrisette Michelle is here, Year of the Blacksmith, ?uesto-ology, Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival ramp up!
Chrisette Michelle
New Music!
First up, Chrisette Michelle brings the heat with her new record I Am, in stores as of yesterday. Lesson-heads are loving it- and I quote “A singer who can actually sing. What a refreshing concept.” Up. Chrisette, who sat in with The Roots a couple weeks ago in NYC, is offering 3 bonus tracks if you cop her album via iTunes.
Blacksmith keeps making big moves. We’ve got brand new Talib Kweli with “Hostile Gospel” only enhancing our excitement for the release of Ear Drum. Yep, the site’s in French- think back to highschool and remember that vo-cab. Also new, Strong Arm Steady “One Step” featuring Kweli. Ecouter!
Diggin that French website! Listen to this new Kanye West joint “Stronger”. Good stuff.
Encore, nous aimerons. The Nextment feat. Naledge (from Kidz In The Hall) with “Knowledge Be Born”.
?uestosphere.
?uestlove breaks it down! From minstrelsy to thuggery to skateboard lovery, ?uesto explains why the “image” is all-powerful. Great music don’t equal hits kids.
Events.
New York City, Friday and Saturday don’t miss the Broooklyn Hip Hop Festival’s festivities. Better than Festivus. Friday evening watch Wild Style outdoors in DUMBO. Saturday, the main event, featuring Ghostface, Consequence, Large Professor, Sean P, Skillz, Tanya Morgan, J. Period, and more!
