Two Astronote remixes in one week; you won’t hear any complaints from me. Astronote remixes Drake’s newest single “Over” produced by Boi-1da. Astronote’s version is a bit laid back compared sample-sounding original but he still manages to keep the anthemic vibe of the song. Please give it a spin and let us know what you think. Shout out to A-Side Worldwide

1. The Roots - How I Got Over
Tentative Release Date: Spring/2010
Producers/Collaborators: Phonte (of Little Brother), Blu, Cody Chesnutt
What We Know: The Roots are set to release their ninth studio album How I Got Over. The album title comes from a Mahalia Jackson gospel song of the same name. The band has described the new LP as upbeat, funky with political influences. The title track was first premiered on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon in June 2009. According to ?uestlove, Phonte recorded three to five tracks for the album. Here’s hoping the live version of “How I Got Over” makes the final cut it because its clearly superior to the studio version. Read the rest of this entry »

Welcome to the weekly rundown where we (soulsupreme and Marty) provide you with our top ten headlines for the week that was.
- The title-track from the upcoming Michael Jackson documentary: This Is It is released. It sounds like some vintage MJ. The track was originally recorded in the early ’90s and will be featured on a two-disc companion set.
- David Banner, 9th Wonder & Twista anti-violence awareness. After writing a column about hip-hop and violence in the urban community, it’s really good to see some activism in the wake of the recent death of Derrion Albert and increasing youth violence in Chicago. Hopefully this will encourage other community organizers to take positive steps against the violence.
- New Shafiq Husayn EPK, new album in stores. Shafiq talks about the bubbling music scene in Los Angeles and Stephen “Thundercat” Bruner, the bass player who on his new album we recently reviewed. Read the rest of this entry »

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We know this EP has been up for almost a month now. But so what? We didn’t get a chance to post it when it dropped in mid-September so what better time than now? After giving this project several spins – and I do mean several – I immediately wanted to do something to give King Reign more shine. Not only is he backed by some of T-Dot’s finer producers in Rich Kidd, Boi 1-da, and Saukrates, the King has Pharoahe Monch and Drake bless the mic, too. So I was immediately impressed just from a simple glance at the guestlist and production credits. Then, I gave it a listen and damn, King can spit. And he does so about a number of topics from the ladies, the sticky-green, and just being a talented emcee.
But don’t take my word for it. If you’re looking for something new to bump in your car, your home office, your bedroom, WHEREVER, cop this free project. Props to The Real Frequency for originally posting this and making sure I listened.

Welcome to the weekly rundown where we (soulsupreme and Marty) provide you with our top ten headlines for the week that was.
- Kanye West at the VMA’s. Probably the most overblown news story of the year. There are bigger issues in the world. Blame it on the Hennessey and keep it moving.
- Pioneering DJ Grand Master Roc Raida passes away. Another hip-hop legend gone to soon in 2009. Roc Raida was battling complications from surgery. This weekend his condition worsened and he passed away. Busta Rhymes confirmed the news on Twitter. Our prayers are with his family.
- Benefit concert in Detroit for Hexmurda. We hope people come out and support the cause. And we hope Hex makes a full recovery really soon. Read the rest of this entry »

Welcome to the weekly rundown where we (soulsupreme and Marty) provide you with our top ten headlines for the week that was.
- Phonte/Nicolay don’t want you to buy City Lights 2: Shibuya from iTunes. We shouldn’t be surprised since iTunes has pulled shit like this before. But it’s still a damn shame that they have messed up this release. Just make sure to hit up Amazon, Rhapsody, e-Music, etc… to pick this one up. I (Marty) have spun it a few times and it’s absolutely worth the money. And be on the look-out for a review this coming week.
- Jay-Z – Answer the Call concert @ MSG. Incredible concert for a worthy cause. Jay-Z and a number of guest appearances from the likes of John Mayer, Mary J. Blige, Kanye West, Kid Cudi & Rihanna. They, put simply, rocked MSG for the 9/11 benefit concert.
- Raekwon OB4CL2 Release Party @ Santos, NYC. We wish we could have been there for the festivities. If the party was even one-tenth as good as the actual album, it was probably ridiculous. Peep the video and pretend you were lucky enough to attend. Read the rest of this entry »
