U-N-I dropped A Love Supreme 2.0 yesterday, which includes a few new tracks, remixed tracks from their 2009 release (aptly titled, A Love Supreme) as well as a feature-length documentary titled A Love Supreme: U-N-I & Ro Blvd. I can't think of another group of artists that I'm more stoked ...

There aren't many folks who can maintain a career in music (especially hip hop) for over 20 years. Guru has been at the forefront of modern music since the early 1990s and is best known as one -half of the hip hop duo Gang Starr with legendary wheels of steel ... Continue Reading
Dealz Makes Beats :: Popular Lemonade remix
Published By Miss Rachel On Wednesday, February 24th 2010. Under Exclusives, Spotlight Tags: Dealz Makes Beatz, DND, Gucci Mane, PopularLemonade
PopularLemonade needed a theme song. As soon as the video dropped for Gucci Mane's Lemonade, a remix was needed without Gucci Mane's annoying ass voice.
If I could give Dealz a cape and super powers, I would. He came through with a super proper Lemonade flip (including a DWYCK sample, which ... Continue Reading
Kanye West :: Coldest Winter (video)
The latest video release from Kanye West's 2008's 808s and Heartbreak is two things: weird and Kanye-less. Perhaps this is his final step out of his own ego prison and into the light of an artist? In all honestly, 808s has remained one of my favorite 'Ye albums ever because ... Continue Reading
Edouard Salier :: Nike Woman & Massive Attack :: Splitting the Atom
Published By Miss Rachel On Tuesday, February 23rd 2010. Under Fashion, Spotlight Tags: Edouard Salier, Nike
Commercials are super cheesy. Honestly, television and mass media isn't my cup of tea, but I was super impressed with the commercial below that director Edouard Salier has released for Nike Woman just days after the video project, Splitting the Atom dropped for trip hop duo Massive Attack. A lover ... Continue Reading
2010 Red Bull Thre3Style Competition (Denver)
Published By Miss Rachel On Monday, February 22nd 2010. Under Spotlight Tags: Amen, Dj Lazy Eyez, Dj Low Key, Neil Armstrong, Red Bull, Sounds Supreme
Here's what I really dig about Red Bull: they have been supportive at all sources of music from the dj to the producer and back around to the traditional party rocker. The format for the 2010 Red Bull Thre3Style competition is unique and intriguing - djs have fifteen minutes to ... Continue Reading
N.E.R.D. + MTV Diary of & Pharrell’s advice to new artists
Published By Miss Rachel On Thursday, February 11th 2010. Under Exclusives, Spotlight Tags: MTV, N.E.R.D.
I've been bumping N.E.R.D.'S first album, In Search of... for a solid month straight. I just can't keep it off of the iPod whatsoever... It's all I want to listen to lately, for some reason. My friends are sick of hearing it, but somehow it sounds so much better to ... Continue Reading
Sade + The Today Show
If there's one artist who has continually rocked my playlists over the past 25 years (outside of Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder and a select few others), it's Sade. I had an advance peak of her latest album, Soldier of Love (in stores & available via iTunes today) a few weeks ... Continue Reading
U-N-I :: A Love Supreme 2.0 (trailer)
Published By Miss Rachel On Tuesday, February 2nd 2010. Under Spotlight Tags: Dj Hyphen, Ro Blvd., U-N-I
After being in the radio and promotions industry for close to six years now, I can honestly say that there's not a whole lot that impresses or surprises me. More often than not, the inbox is full of bullshit which serves more as comedic relief than sparks any sort of ... Continue Reading
Kendrick Lamar :: She Needs Me + I am
Can I be honest? I don't know much about Kendrick Lamar whatsoever. Here's what I do know:
The video above is dope.... except for knocking on tattooed women. Thanks, K.Dot.. errr.
I LOVE two-track videos. Love them... especially for new artists. Take notes.
It was obvious within the first 30 seconds - this ... Continue Reading
SLAMxHYPE + Donnis
Published By Miss Rachel On Wednesday, January 27th 2010. Under Spotlight Tags: A-Trak, Donnis, Fool's Gold, SLAMXHYPE
ATL-reppin’, MC Donnis spent a lot of 2009 climbing the hip-hop ranks with live performance videos, profuse freestyles, and attention-getting tracks that leaked much to our delight. Having a mixtape with 10 Deep ain’t a bad thing either, just ask Kid Cudi and Wale.
All this grindin’ brought Donnis a deal ... Continue Reading
