Kano – Method to the Maadness

Kano on a scooter in Aiya Napa in 2003

They might seem mean and anti-social, but the grime kids just want to be liked. But it seems in their quest for popularity they end up making some rather questionable music. Anything by Tinchy Stryder these days and Dizzee’s ‘Dirtee Disco’ are just some examples. Though Kano’s aims might be quite similar, he just seems to do it a little more classy.

He has just released a new album, ‘Method to the Maadness’, and it has some big tunes with production from the likes of Boys Noize, Hot Chip, Chase & Status and Diplo. He tried the R&B thing a while ago, and now that he is working with some electro producers it’s just infinitely more credible than the embarrassing electro pop shit that everybody else is making.

Here are some tracks from the back catalog. The only thing that is missing from the new record is something produced by Davinche and something with Craig David on it.

Rollercoaster Rapping vs Rollercoaster Karaoke

I thought this was a really awesome find. A good low budget idea for a filmclip. You just sit there watching in anticipation to see if he can continue rapping when the rollercoaster drops. But then higher lord of the internet, Fashimi, trumped my rap video with rollercoaster karaoke

So if you are productiony inclined, you might like to remix this song by Evidence for a Rhymesayers remix competition. Download the accapella on iTunes and send your 320kbps MP3s to contest@rhymesayers.com and you could win prizes.

MP3: Evidence – To Be Continued…

Cee-Lo Green – Fuck You

Today just got that much more awesome. Here is the new Cee-Lo Green tune to be released on his album Lady Killer. It just makes me wonder in anticipation what other sort of bombs he is holding on to for the album.

Cypress Hill Australian Tour 2010

Cypress Hill will be touring throughout Oz in September. The first Latino group to go platnium and multi-platnium world-wide. In April 2010, the group released ‘Rise Up’ after a six year hiatus from 2004 album ‘Til Death Do Us Part’.

As some may know, California are going to the ballots this November. Cypress Hill has teamed up with organisations for a national reform of marijuana laws in support of Prop 19. A number of Democratic Representatives, libertarians and activists also support Prop 19.

As stated on their MySpace:
Prop 19 would allow adults 21+ the right to buy marijuana for recreational use, and cause it to be taxed just like alcohol.  If passed, this would be a HUGE step forward in the fight to end marijuana prohibition. Our government can generate between $12-18 billion in tax revenue, save over $200 million in law enforcement costs, and create between 60-80k new jobs.

Dates: Thurs 23 Sept in Melb; Friday 24 Sept in Syd (Enmore Theatre); Sat 25 Sept in Gosford; Tuesday 26 Sept in Adel; Wednesday 29 in Perth and Friday Oct 1 in Bris.

El Gusto of Hermitude Mix (Circa 2009)

Hermitude with Urthboy and Jane Tyrell at the Stolen Records Gala Ball

Hermitude with Urthboy and Jane Tyrell at our first Stolen Records Gala Ball

From the archive this is a mix that El Gusto played on the show close to a year ago. Was listening to it the other day and was thinking it is still pretty awesome. Sharing is caring. Expect some bumping hip hop, some wobbliness, dubstep bangers and brass band covers of your favourite gangsta rap classics. Don’t stop! Get it! Get it!

Meanwhile, El Gusto has been tearing up shows and beating off hordes of sex crazed groupies all around Europe as he performs with the likes of Urthboy, Jane and Horrorshow.
