The HighLife

Teckzilla's at it again.  The production genius behind the Str8 Buttah collective recently teamed up with a crew of Zambian hiphoppers, Zone Fam, to deliver The Full Script.  I dig Zone Fam, but Teck kills it on the beats; front to back!  Here's are some highlights.

In case you forgot, happy tax deadline day friends!  Or you could be one of the few without the burden of taxation.  Either way, it's funny the things that concern you as you grow up.  Which brings us to today's selections.  Welcome to The Jumpoff!

A-Side
Here's a rapper that's all business.  Cutting his chops at age 16 on A Tribe called Quest's 1993 release Midnight Marauders, he eventually ended up on Kanye West's GOOD Music label in 2005.  This is his latest single from 2010's Movie On Demand.
Consequence - Childish Games (ft. Asher Roth)



B-Side
Back to the things you concern yourself with growing up.  The thought process that goes into songwriting is one thing that i certainly wonder about, especially when it comes to this song.  I've always liked this artist's work.  No nonsense dance music to make you sweat from head to toe.  Plus, for this new album he goes back to a tried and tested production collaboration with Lil Jon; but i've got to wonder now if he's got Jon writing his lyrics too.  Who knows, it's worked before.

Aight then ladies and gents, that's it today.  I'll leave you to take care of those p's and q's.  Until next time.  Be easy.

Love Pistols in Color is a collaboration between contemporary urban artists ARMO and Carly Ivan Garcia (also see).  Here are clips from the opening in Berkeley, CA.

          

  
From the mind of the supremely multifaceted MC, DJ, and producer (DJ Voltran) drops this raucous dubsteb mix.  Just in time for breaking into the warmer weather; this is all-purpose music.  Always good.
