It's 1,001, so I'm gonna give up some goods. The sound quality isn't the best but this is one of my favorite joints done by N.e.r.d. but covered by RES as a reference track. Enjoy this rare joint.
This SF weather is BANANAS. I'm actually looking forward to the fog. Here is a sweet track I found on a compilation I bought from DJ Cholo at the last lowrider show I went to. Joe Cuba is the Father of Latin Boogaloo. Puerto Ricans finest!

Shur-I-Kan third full-length “The Humble Bees Project” is a hip-hop/beats side project. Apparently he’s produced an album for UK rapper Hkb Finn (who MCs on a few of the songs alongside Ty) last year, but it’s still a pleasant surprise to hear him change styles with success. It is very much in tune with classic jazzy hip-hop a la Guru or last weeks Jazz Liberatorz. So if you like your beats jazzy, go for it. It’s a solid album with a few good headnodders, it’s not trying to redefine hip-hop like the nuschool LA people, but it’s standing against further degeneration by keeping the tradition alive
Soulico is more than just a four member DJ crew from Tel Aviv, they are the first DJ's in the Middle East to master production, turntables, and dance party skills. They have continuously sold out 3,000 person venues in Israel from the buzz of their underground mixtapes and the last time they were in NYC, filled The Canal Room to capacity and blew the doors off. Soulico has garnered incredible respect and critical acclaim both for their original songs and their unique mash-ups that blend Israeli folk and Jewish melodies with American hip-hop tracks. They were kind enough to answer The Music Slut's 8 Questions. SOULICO CREW - EXOTIC ON THE SPEAKER FEAT RYE RYE 2009
THANK GOD WE STILL HAVE GOOD MOVIES OUT THERE WITH OUT THE HOLLYWOOD BUDGET.
SIN NOMBRE IS ONE INTENSE, THRILLING AND ADVENTUROUS MOVIE. I PERSONALLY LOVE VIOLENT, GANG RELATED MOVIES SO WHEN I SAW THIS TRAILER I WAS ALL FOR IT. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS FLICK. HERE'S THE RUN DOWN
Fleeing retaliation from the violent Central American street gang he has deserted, young hood Casper boards a northbound train, where he takes refuge on top of the moving freight cars and hopes for a fresh start in a new country. Dodging authorities and other dangers, he finds a new friend in Sayra (Paulina Gaitan), a Honduran girl also making a run for the American border. Cary Fukunaga directs this exciting thriller.
MS 13 The MS-13 gang, aka Mara Salvatrucha 13, is one of the most violently dangerous gangs in the United States - and one of the most organized. The MS-13 gang has cliques, or factions, located throughout the United States and is unique in that it retains is ties to its El Salvador counterparts. With cliques in Washington DC, Oregon, Alaska, Arkansas, Texas, Nevada, Utah, Oklahoma, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Maryland, Virginia, Georgia, Florida, Canada, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, and several other South American countries, the MS-13 gang is truly "international" and on the verge of becoming the first gang to be categorized as an "organized crime" entity.
MS-13 Gang member shows his tattoos.Gang members, who sport numerous tattoos on their bodies and faces, wear blue and white colors taken from the El Salvadoran flag. Their membership is estimated to total over 36,000 in the Honduras alone. Members typically range in age from 11 to 40 years old but children as young as 8 have been known to join. Their progressive increase in violent activities and careless disregard for the law (threats and attacks against law enforcement officials is common), has made them the most feared gang in the United States. MS-13 criminal activities include drug smuggling, gun running, people smuggling, hits for hire, theft, drug sales, arson, and of course, strong arming the locals. Their wide-ranging activities and elevated status has even caught the eye of the FBI who recently initiated wide-scale raids against known and suspected gang members netting hundreds of arrests across the country.
Their penchant for violence is renowned. Members often arrive in the United States with fighting skills gained in military training and are particularly adept with machetes. In March 2004, the Maldon Institute, a Washington DC based think tank, released a report detailing the violent methods MS-13 used, including their increasingly typical (and disturbing) calling card. MS-13 often leaves behind dismembered corpses, complete with the decapitated head, at the scene of their murders. Often a grim note is attached to the body.
Grupo Fantasma are a jamming funk band comprised of members from all over Latin America who are based in Austin, Texas.
It’s an incredible and animated performance interwoven with mature and intelligent songwriting that is equally at home with the classic 1960s Fania All-Stars sound AND the progressive benchmark set by artists such as Manu Chao. Guided by the deeply rooted traditions of cumbia, salsa, funk, and pyschedelia this masterful ensemble band has forged a fresh new standard of excellence in latin music.
Adrian Quesada and Martin Perna, respective band-leaders of famed ensembles Grupo Fantasma and Antibalas, once again unite under the Ocote Soul Sounds banner for their new full length album, Coconut Rock, released on ESL Music on June 23rd. After two stellar albums, this time around Coconut Rock finds the duo loosened up, slipping effortlessly into their trademark psychedelic afro-latin funk groove. From the descarga rhythms of album lead-off The Revolt of the Cockroach People to the cumbia bounce of Tu Fin, Mi Comienzo to the easy guitar soundscapes of Vendendo Saude e Fe featuring Brazilian songstress Tita Lima, Coconut Rock is the third chapter in Ocote Soul Sound's unparalleled journey through sonic realms beyond! TU FIN, MI COMENZO 2009
