Video: Raekwon - "House of Flying Daggers"



Ft. Rebel INS, Ghostface Killah, & Method Man (Prod. by J Dilla)

All I can say is Raekwon is bringing the WU back. No way he can lose with a record this incredible. I feel the same way I felt when I heard "Incarcerated Scarfaces" back in the day. Dilla goes so hard with Wu.

Music: Luck & Ripps - The Catastrophic Connection


Good friend of mine & fellow JPS Artist Joey Ripps released a monster of an album tonight @ Midnight, through website blocSonic. I've been waiting to hear this joint in its entirety, so I'm very pleased! The Catastrophic Connection is a collaboration between Ripps, 13aDLuck & producer Catastrophe (hence the album title). Please, please ketchup and check this joint out!

What you’re about to listen to is a fantastic collection of raw, NYC style, boom-bap hip-hop. It’s packed with smooth soul-drenched beats, classic B-Boy braggadocio and introspective rhymes. Luck & Ripps’ vocal styles are both quite compatible, so their collaboration on this project feels natural and unforced. Catastrophe’s production throughout serves as the perfect bed for their verses to rest.

Music: 14KT - Nowalataz


The new project from 14KT is bangin'. This man has Twitter & the whole 'nets going nutso! And I'm falling right in line! Ketchup, please.

"Here it is..a project I unofficially had done since 2006'. It started when James Yancey a.k.a. J Dilla passed that February. To cope with the death of my favorite producer, who I liked to call my unofficial "musical mentor", I started making "donuts"...uncontrollably. I never planned to release any of the material out of respect for Dilla & his craft. I've shared some of the music with others, in which they would repeatedly ask me to hear it, so I decided to put a little something together and make it official. JUST FOR Y'ALL. This is a collection of beats created about 3 years ago. Some "donuts' style, some just around that era of 14KT beats. "Now & Laters" were always a fovorite candy of mine. I used to go to Mindells Pharmacy in Ypsilamti back in the day & buy ALL of them. Sadly, I even stole change from my grandma's(RIP) purse for them. They are addictive, yet fun to eat..a feeling I found mutual when making music at the time. Ironically, I fell back in love with "Nowalataz" around this era (ask my homey Sarah "Merk Merk", haha). Enjoy."

RIP John Hughes (Feb. 18, 1950-Aug. 6,2009)


Damn. John Hughes was one of the best American filmmakers of the 80's and 90's. The Breakfast Club was my fave; Lil' Sleaze might say Ferris Bueller's Day Off. And the whole 'effin world loves the monster hit that was Home Alone. Apparently he had a heart attack while taking his morning stroll. 59 years old he was. He will surely be missed.




Wednesday

Music: Vandalyzm - "Donny Freestyle"


New track up from the boy Vee Majorz via his Twitter page. Fresh off his disassociation with The Hall of Justus, Vandalyzm goes in with a freestyle for the people. Vibe out to this smooth ride. This joint is all Van's style too.

Video: Guy plays OoT blind



This guy plays my favorite game. Only he is blind. That automatically makes me wack! lol.

My name is Jordan and I have been blind since birth. I have always been a fan of Ocarina of Time, and here I will show videos of me playing through it (and other games such as Castlevania, pokemon and possibly other Zelda’s) to the best of my abilities. To navigate on my Computer I use a program called JAWS. It reads the words to me and allows me to navigate my pc with ease…To type I’ve memorized the keys. Just so you know, I have done all of these bosses MANY times.
