Mr. Green: Live from the Streets ft. Peter Rosenberg, Soul Khan and Uncle Terry

If you are a fan of beatmaking, you'll be sure to find this interesting. Mr. Green has produced instrumentals for well-known emcees including Pace Won, Young Zee, Jedi Mind Tricks, and several others. If you search him on YouTube, he's most popular for his "Live From the Streets" series. This series takes you on a journey through the neighbourhoods of many cities in the United States, where Mr. Green is on a search for street performers. He'll record audio clips of the street performers and take the audio files back to the lab and create a beat out of the samples. I think this is a really creative way of showing people that there's more to music than just instruments and typical composition. Creativity and imagination are also key elements to producing unique sounds. This is just one example of the many videos he's contributed to this interesting series. Open Ya Earz!

Go Hard or Go Home by Blueprint

 A couple of months ago, I found a CD by this dude named Blueprint. I remember seeing his video for a track called "Radio-Inactive", which I really liked, so I decided to give his album a listen. There were a lot of weird songs on it but a few of them were crazy. He released a video yesterday for track number 2 off of the album, "Go Hard or Go Home". This one isn't one of his best, but I still think it's pretty dope. Open Ya Earz!

NY State of Mind by Nas (SXSW2012 Performance)

 Now this is what hip hop's all about. You don't need all your homies up on the stage to make yourself feel important. All you need is a mic, a beat and one good hypeman to help you get some oxygen into your lungs. If that hypeman happens to be legendary DJ Premier, you got one hell of a performance. I was actually really impressed by his hypeman skills haha. Not just that, but the whole performance was pretty dope. This song is still as fresh as it was when Illmatic was released in 1994.

Turn Back by Prozak

Whattup world? I haven't made a post in a few days as I have been slacking, not gonna lie haha. But I'm back to redeem myself by sharing a really dope song! This one's called "Turn Back" by the Hitchcock of Hip-hop, Prozak. This track is from his upcoming album, Paranormal, which hits the shelves on April 24, 2012. I'm really starting to see Prozak in a different light, with all of these recent tracks with meaningful messages. Check this one out and I'm sure you'll agree!

Dogface Go by e-dubble

Now to be honest I don't really know a lot about this guy but I know he's grinding hard. Searching him up on youtube leads you down an endless trail of his songs. I think this one showcases him well cuz the guy is intelligent and knows how to rap and I sometimes feel his beat choices don't fit him. The guy has all kinds of dope songs though don't get me wrong and this one is one of my favourites.

Canadian Talent: Ngajuana

A couple weeks ago, I received an email message from this dude regarding some music business. He wasn't trying to promote himself or anything, but I felt compelled to listen to the guys music. It turns out that Ngajuana is actually a really talented individual and really understands what it takes to create a complete song. Each song that I've heard from the London, Ontario emcee includes a tight beat, great flow and rhymes. Most of all, his subject matter is unique and creative. If there is anybody on the scene that represents truth and honesty through music, it's Ngajuana. Take some time to support Canadian talent. Open Ya Earz!

Wuddup, Jesse Here: Snow Tha Product Freestyle & Wishin' by Rittz

Wuddup y'all, I'm Jesse, a good bud of the big man K Brenton. As he is a busy guy I'll be throwin in a contribution here and there if nothing new has popped up in a bit. Always tons of music to share. I'm throwin two vids up just cuz I had a song to share but then saw this small tidbit I thought was dope. I don't normally listen to a ton of women rappers but I've always known Snow Tha Product was a chopper (not to mention sexay) and this quick freestyle video I saw today I thought was sick. Now the main feature here is the song Wishin' by Rittz. This fuzzy haired guy knows how to rap and often his songs tell it how it is: shitty. This song can really zone me out and make me think about my life when my room is foggy.
