NEW T-SHIRT LINE
Okayplayer presents our brand new line of t-shirts… “Choose Your Weapon.” We’ve launched the line with four instruments, The Mic, The Drums, The Sousaphone, and The Bass Guitar. Make sure you choose your weapon wisely!
* OKP Vets might remember the OG “Choose Your Weapon” Mic Tee featuring Black Thought circa 2000.
SUPPORT THE CAUSE
Mos Def, Talib Kweli, M1 and others have united in support of the Jena 6, calling for a student walk-out today. “This is the time for Black people to support the Jena 6, and call attention to the unequal treatment the criminal Justice system is dishing out not only in Jena Louisiana but across this nation,” Mos Def said. “We all live in Jena. “
FROM THE ROAD
In OKP tradition, Skillz is holding down yet another tour diary from the road. Check out his latest entry from his home state of Virgina as the Hip Hop Honors Tour rolled through Norfolk Virgina where The Clipse made a surprise appearance. We included links to The Clipse’s refix of Kanye’s “Flashing Lights” for good measure.
NEW MUSIC
Last week “Rappers I Know” hipped us to featuring Dem Damb Jacksons, the lastest from The ARE. They weren’t kidding, if you heart The Jacksons like we do you’ll give it the co-sign too, just like qoolquest did.
VIDEOS
What? A rapper with a real vocabulary? Crazy. Lupe Dumb’s It Down in his new vid. We can’t wait for his newest album The Cool to drop… let’s hope it doesn’t get pushed back again.
We’re all “real real real real” siked for the debut of this new Aceyalone video for his dancehall infused single “Eazy” featuring Chali 2na and Bionik off his new album Lightening Strikes, in stores Tomorrow!
