Musical update

But first, I finally know how to add stuff (ie. games) to my jailbroken ipod touch. After almost embarking on this uber convoluted way, I found a way that was super simple, literally one button. 

It's all good. Now I have to delete music off to make room for the games! Lol

Anyway, I'm excited because I've just discovered a new group that nobody else I know has heard of. They're originally from Ohio, US and have been around since 2003. Their sound is fresh in the hip hop world, distinctly chilled out and fusing jazz rhythms with faintly old skool beats. I found them while I was on a 9th Wonder/Common/Q-Tip/The Roots tangent. They have a new album called "Brooklynati" that I'll hopefully cop today if it's out. I have my doubts I'll find it seeing as it was only released in the US 2 days ago.

Call me late, but I'm discovering Kid Cudi now. Having only briefly heard of him via his hookup with a certain Kanye West on 808s' "Welcome to Heartbreak", I just started checking his 2008 mixtape released by West's label GOOD Music. 

Also (but wait, there's more!) found a side project composed of D'Angelo, Raphael Saadiq and Q-Tip! Mate, let me tell you. Fire. The production ability of that lineup alone is mindboggling, let alone the instrumentation and vocal talents. From what I've heard this is perfect for the evening. Apparently Common and Q-Tip are gonna collab together soon.

A new weblog called rockthedub is worth looking at. I'm digging the weekly downloadable playlists of the newest cuts, mixtapes and vids. Also, prohiphop and XXL are good to keep up with news. 

Currently listening to-
Kid Cudi
Tanya Morgan 
Lynwood Rose

Gotta find more- 
Little Brother

PS. Changed up the socks. No lesbian cloud for me. I want my money back.
