Distant Relatives


The marriage of reggae and rap was a big trend in the 90's and I'd personally like to see more of that stuff coming out. I mean for an example the stuff that Nas and Damian "Junior Gong" have done in the past is sooo great (see this). Well now it seems that this ganja-lovin' duo is back in the studio and on the road mixing the roots to the hop. The snippet "As We Are" from the album to come sounds just what it should sound like. Damian is one of the best toasters on the market and Nas has always mastered the skill of clear and distinctive rapping.

The Virgins and the Rich Girls



You know the feeling when you hear a song and you instantly realize that you have to play it all over again, 'cos it just rocks. This happened to me today, when I downloaded the Virgins' album. You tv addicts must have heard their music all over Gossip Girl - I hadn't so they struck like a lighting. Actually I should thank Alppila for pointing them out to me. He described the Virgins as something between the Strokes and the Cars. Can't go wrong with that.

So click the vid above the hear "Rich Girls".
