Are Pure – Pay Your Child Support (Mixtape), The Shout Out (.mp3) & DownSide Up (Feat. Ced Hughes) (.mp3)

I hate calling compact discs & .zip/.rar/.torrent files with 12 to 20 songs on/in them “mixtapes” when they deserve to be called “albums”– especially when they don’t contain a DJ yelling after each track or annoying airhorn noises for the first 15 seconds of each song. Either way, the following download from Hartford, CT rap … Read moreAre Pure – Pay Your Child Support (Mixtape), The Shout Out (.mp3) & DownSide Up (Feat. Ced Hughes) (.mp3)

Clipse – I’m Good (Feat. Pharrell WIlliams) Behind The Scenes

Dumskeme Shomi should know better when it comes to DNS servers and Addon-Domiains, as videos in the Dumskeme Blog don’t play properly becasue the site is embedded in a giant frame. Frames went out of style before I hit puberty… so bring Dumskeme to the Shomillenium! Haha. Shomi was invited last weekend to LA by … Read moreClipse – I’m Good (Feat.

Metal Militia – Hold Me Down & I.L.O. (.mp3s)

Metal Militia is an under–I mean, overground, hip-hop group out of Richmond, Virginia. They’re so fresh, they don’t even have a MySpace page yet. Shit, their music is so fresh that still eats, breathes and reproduces. Luckily, they bring the slaughter and kill on the mic(s) over, in opinion, murderous instrumentation. (PETA, the last two … Read moreMetal Militia – Hold Me Down & I.L.O. (.mp3s)

Bill Rutherfoord – Revelationary Artist

When first viewing William Rutherfoord‘s art you might not expect him to be from a religious background, a son of a preacher, or even “faith-obsessed.” Hell, some of his work, at first glance, may make a religious individual think it’s the work of the devil! But, of course, it’s not. According to the article/interview from … Read moreBill Rutherfoord – Revelationary Artist
