Friend of Dutty Artz and always fascinating Timeblind has a new dubstep mix up on Samurai FM.
Dubstep, dub reggae, sheets of noise, 4×4 beats and… stuff
As with everything he does, it is deeeeeeeeeeeeeep. I recommend.
(scroll to bottom of that page to stream the mix, no direct link)
GIF at top is from Timeblinds myspace, I have no idea either.

Rupture will be back in NY soon but for those who miss him, check out this ‘mini-documentary’ from the industrious and praiseworthy Maga Bo. Jace talking about life in NYC, Sunset Park, Brooklyn where much of the DA crew lives, how NY has “no quality of life” (true), music, cultural density and about always being late. Short and sweet Bo has done a bunch of these, on his YouTube page. Worth checking out.
The first sub-Saharan African country to get independence in the 1950s head to the polls today to vote for a new president and parliament. Well, if you’re sick of the Obama-Memorabilia overkill, readjust your binoculars and take a look at this; Two young men with bodies painted in striking campaigning colors were spotted in the streets of Accra entertaining commuters and raising personal funds. Pictures of men with their bodies painted with party colors, it seems, is a top visual choice for many internet news sites.

Big props to Noz, not simply because I am flagrantly swiping this song from Cocaine Blunts, but also for being an insightful and reliable blogger.
Willie Isz is Khujo Goodie and Jneiro Jarel, the most appealing (genuine and soulful) group to come out of the Dungeon Family collective in recent years. Khujo Goodie was/is a member of one of the rawrest Southern hiphop groups, Goodie Mob- a group which also possessed (perhaps even fundamentally, I must stress) a positive and uplifting spirit. Jneiro Jarel is also/partly responsible for a very open and progressive hiphop album, one of the best underground hiphop albums in recent memory.
Starvation, American politics, fear, unfairness, home foreclosures, a life of crime, being a son, and remaining optimistic and thankful in a world that is bleeding —are just a few of the things that this song is touching on. Jneiro Jarel’s production here harkens back to a time when DF and Organize Noized was at their most excellent, prompting Noz to note “Dude is on some serious Dungeonize shit,” and I cannot agree more.
