Salute to Guru and Gang Starr

This post has been delayed for far too long. On April 19th, 2010, Keith "Guru" Elam (pictured left) passed away. He was known for his honest and hard-hitting rhymes, delivered in his signature monotone style. Along with DJ Premier (pictured right), he made up one half of one of my favorite hip-hop groups of all-time: Gang Starr. I gave it some thought and I decided that Moment of Truth is my favorite Gang Starr album. Three of my favorite tracks off the album are: Work, Betrayal ft. Scarface and Royalty ft. K-Ci & JoJo. But honestly, their entire discography is amazing and worth a listen if you're a fan of "real" hip-hop. Also, check out DJ Premier's Guru tribute mix.

R.I.P Guru.

Finally a new KiD CuDi track! The beat is made by the ever so fun LCD Soundsystem.

Reallionaire Jream. Too dope to sleep on indeed.

Kanye West ft. Dwele - Power

It's been a long time coming. A new record from Kanye West's highly anticipated fifth album Good Ass Job. This track incorporates all of Kanye's musical styles: the soul samples of College Dropout, the orchestral strings, and polished feel of Late Registration, the "stadium status" of Graduation, and the tribal drums off of 808's and Heartbreak. If this is any indication of what Good Ass Job will bring, color me ecstatic.

Alife "Everybody Low" Canvas.

I have been searching for a green summer shoe. I think I found it! So stoked on this simple, light, canvas shoe. Perfect for summer, and perfect to add to my collection. I am a fan of Alife and I have yet to purchase their Footwear, I think it is time. I will be ordering these ASAIGMITB (ASSOONASIGETMONEYINTHEBANK). chyeah!

A-Trak - Dirty South Dance 2

It was about 3 years ago when I first heard Dirty South Dance, It was by far my favorite album/mixtape. It opened and broadened my horizons for music. Mixing so many different genres into one "super" song, helped my appreciation for sound rather then music.

Obey "Haiti Relief" Tee, Comune Waxed Denim, Nike SB "Space Tiger" Dunk Low.

TSOL

Shad's 3rd studio album "TSOL" (just released today) is really good. I have been a Shad 'fan' since his come up, he has such a unique flow and he keeps it 'real' by not rapping about the typical (cars, women, drugs, and violence). He also is a homegrown Canadian, support your roots! I want you to check out the album, go buy it. It is available on itunes and your local music store.

Tuesdays With W.I.L.T.

Just found the list that enhanced my music interests. My girl made me a list of music to get on my itunes, I was happy to see that there was a lot of good jams.

Amanda Blank was one of the artists that I thoroughly enjoyed, Philly female rapper on the "come up". Sounds like Kid Sister, M.I.A., Santigold, and Hot Chip mixed together with that certain attitude that she brings to the table.

Her debut album, I Love You, is very well produced. She even collaborates with, Chuck Inglish (The Cool Kids), Santigold and Spank Rock. Favorite songs include... the whole album, front to back. Download it: Here, Or support this up and comer on itunes.

HAVEN

Haven is that store that you need to find and love. Carrying unique and high-end brands, they are sought after. I had the wonderful priveledge of checking out Haven in edmonton in the Spring. Very nice store, friendly staff.
