"It Was All A Dream" - Kosha Dillz

Drawing from the legacy of MLK and sampling from the Notorious B.I.G. - bi-coastal rapper Kosha Dillz verbally paints a canvas of an alternate reality in "It Was All A Dream."  The songs speaks truth ("Mom says some things never change, when I grow up somethings might not be the same...") - but one thing is for certain, a song with a Biggie sample is usually worth listening to.  

Midwest Hype: Boldy James

Pure Michigan bred.  Straight from the D.

Hip Hop Dopeness At Echoplex (Tomorrow) and On Conan (Tonight)

As part of his promotional tour for the hugely acclaimed self produced "Cancer 4 Cure" album - El-P is making a stop at Echoplex on Thursday night for a special Check Yo Ponytail 2 performance that also includes MC's Killer Mike, Mr. Muthafuckin Exquire and Despot.

El-P - the MC, producer, co-owner of Def Jux, entrepreneur extraordinaire with plenty of skin in the game - really brought it with his latest release, which includes hard cuts like "The Full Retard" (see below).   You can sample the potential of his live show by tuning into Conan O'Brien tonight on TBS at 11 PM to see him perform "Works Every Time" with guest vocals from Zola Jesus.

SUPERGOOD strongly endorses just picking up tickets to the event because the line-up is pretty f'ing hot with Killer Mike, Exquire and Despot all hitting the stage as well.  Killer Mike's new record R.A.P. (also produced by El-P) features punishing, aggressive flows that are a departure from candy top 40 rap, Exquire was probably the second most buzzed about hip-hop artist at SXSW 2012 and Despot's show is nothing to shy away from either.  Get your tickets for the Echoplex show here - must be 18 or older.

SUPERJEW ANTHEM

Kosha Dillz is back at it again.  As his infamous slogan suggests - he is everywhere.   I just watched him above on youtube in Boston, I'm pretty sure I heard him on my television during the Stanley Cup Playoffs tonight and I saw him earlier today - where he told me he'd probably be showing up somewhere at Bonnaroo and then heading to Israel.  I'm convinced he has a clone that just hustles for him.

Currently Kosha is out in Los Angeles working on a follow up record with Belief and gearing up for a few festival plays, but the "hardest working rapper in hip-hop" just posted a video for "SUPERJEW" - so we're sharing it.  Its a tribal anthem he created for the homie, Sly Young, who makes a cameo in the video - as do bagels, lox, JDate, a star of david, a yarmulke and a deli.  Its totally brand jewbian. 

DELON'S MEMORIAL POOL PARTY RAGER w/ Delon, Dean Risko, Electric Drip & More!

Its kind of officially the kick off of summer this weekend - charcoal's getting hot, pools are getting filled, booze is flowing freely and skin is more exposed.   Just in case you weren't convinced - there are some festivals (Lightning In A Bottle, Silverlake Jubilee) too.

Assuming you're not fest-ing it up, or even if you are headed to Jubilee, you might want to consider a trip to Pasadena on Sunday at noon for DELON'S MEMORIAL WEEKEND POOL RAGER.  It's the launch of a series of pool parties that the DJ/MC will be hosting and performing at all summer long - from private residences, to swanky hotels.   BUT - unlike the others - this one is the first and comes along with free alcohol (including some tasty tasty XANTE), free food and, of course, free entry.  Space is limited - so you might want to RSVP to musicfuturenow@gmail.com to ensure you and your guests are included.  You can also RSVP via Facebook here.

Not convinced?  On top of being one of the first in LA to witness the Sri Lankan phenom drop his poppy party starter "Body Rock" - you may get a taste of some of his other unreleased material, as well as visits from other upstarts like Dean Risko, Electric Drip and Joy Island!  Check out Delon, Risko and Electric Drip's videos below.  Electric Drip's video is like Beastie Boys "Sabotage" had a baby with aliens and dub step music and that baby was a music video.

I'm heading out because not only are the musicians talented - but who can refuse free booze and food by the pool?  Not me.   Neither can Before The Bigs - the blog hosting the event.  Hope to see you at 880 Rosalind Rd., San Marino, CA 91108!

Kitty Pryde - One Hit Wonder or Clever New Sensation?

Kitty Pryde already got the New York Times treatment this past weekend and has her swag flag flying high with Princess bottom lip tattoos, Yeastie Girls t-shirts and extras in her video rocking Bobba Fett helmets.  Can't say her flow is perfected - but "Okay Cupid" is gentle, cute and kind of clever.  Plus, the wave like beat is pretty solid.  Check it...

Hoodie Allen - "The Chase Is On"

Its really nice to see the wealth of catchy hip-hop music being dumped on our ears this summer. With "Otis" being released recently it feels like there is about to be a return to classic sampling and less than wack commercial hip-hop. One of the up and comers we like is Hoodie Allen. Check out his latest "The Chase Is On" ....
