Whoa!

Blakkamoore, seen!

This is top notch stuff originating from Brooklyn,
Like we've heard with Major Lazer as well.

This may not be the new year party anthem, but works on many levels still, if you'ree feelin dubby.

Or try this for more dubsteppy version.

Death Of Autotune

We're all waiting for Jay-Z's upcoming Blueprint 3 -release. The album was initially said to feature a lot of songs that utilized the voice-altering technology, Jay recently removed all Auto-Tune from BP3, recording 'D.O.A.' instead. Apparently, he's sick of the trend. Well, autotune can be annoying but what's the stuff about dissing tight jeans?

"you boys jeans too tight, you colors too bright, your voice too light. I might wear black for a year straight, I might bring back Versace shades. this ain’t for z100, Ye told me to kill y’all to keep it 1 hundred, this is for hot 97, for Khalid we the best’n, yeah this is just violent, death of autotune, moment of silence."

Brooklyn we go hard

What you get when you mix Brooklyn focused lyrics, Santogold's vocals, Jay-Z's rapping and Kanye West's producing skills? Well, you get the last really good rap song of the year 2008. Jay-Z's (feat. Santogold) Brooklyn is the newish track taken off the soundtrack of the upcoming film “Notorious”, a biopic of The Notorious B.I.G. I really love when rap songs use samples of fresh tunes like in this case

If the song's this hard, I guess the film's gonna be a banger too.

Happy New Year 2009, it's gonna be a ball!

update: here's another link, they've deleted the other one. This is actually more fun, some DIY video of BK kids...

Brooklyn Girls

This Charlie Hamilton joint is my current fave hiphop track. Good, old fashioned East Coast party music flava, and shit about girls. Who wouldn't love a bit of that?
