MTVs got Com Sense, Kweli’s Word Widget, Ev’s Mr. Slow Flow Remix ft PMD, Soulive’s New Release, Chocolate Rain! 
MTV talks with Common, who came in at #9 in their “Hottest MCs in the Game” debate. Common talks about the editing process, J Dilla, and staying true to himself. Watch the video clip to learn more about his journey (bonus points if you can spot The Roots who appear for approx. .002 seconds). Then head to the Okaystore and pick up our SPECIAL package- for only 16 bones you get Finding Forever plus DJ Soul’s mixtape Time Travelin’!
Curious about Talib Kweli’s forthcoming effort Eardrum? Let’s be honest, we can’t effin’ WAIT! For now, we get a teaser. Kwe put up this “word widget” so we can preview his album through “The Words of Eardrum,” a series of short written pieces with audio snippets. Pretty cool!
Evidence hits the boards and posts up a remix of his “Mr. Slow Flow” featuring PMD and Rakaa. Turns out the version on the Dilated Peoples bonus disc that comes with their new DVD The Release Party was the demo version. Listen to the fully mixed track, then head over to SOHH.com for their guest blog where the brand new 8th entry will have you snarfing up your OJ it’s so funny. Tight security, son!
If you thought that was funny, listen up. Youtube sensation and “Chocolate Rain” star Tay Zonday has us all confused! Is dude for REAL? Read this in-depth interview where he discusses everything from racial identity to global politics, proving, if nothing else, he’s certainly got the brains.
Our friends Soulive just dropped their latest release No Place Like Soul yesterday. Check back with OKP next week when we’ll have an exclusive interview with the gang, along with an album review.
