New Eyedea & Abilities

One of the most talented duos in the history of independent hip-hop are releasing their first album in five years this July. Out on 7.21, By The Throat promises to be even better than 2004's incredible E&A.

Need a taste to believe me? Download "The Story" HERE. DJ Abilities has crafted one of the best beats I've heard in ages, it's worth the right-click.

Check Eyedea and Abilities at Soundset this Sunday (for those lucky enough to be in the Twin Cities), and look for info here on a fall tour.

Stophouse - Recession Music

Gringo shared this with me a few days ago and I thought it should be shared here.

Rappers St. Paul Slim and Prof have teamed up to create a record called Recession Music. It's good. Some of the cockier songs are a little too much, but that's just me. I'm not interested in hearing about how great a rapper thinks he or she is. Songs like "Fire", "A Month From Now" and "Motor" are really great though. Download it for free (because of the recession, see?) here.
