Such a hot track.  I am not usually con by the stop motion picture video (or am I) but this video definitely gave it a intense quick pace feel, sort of like those quick cuts in "Snatch" or other Guy Richie films.

The track comes from Naledge's Latest Mixtape titled "Chicago's Picasso" DOWNLOAD HERE

(I not sure if Double O has any production on this, but I have this tape on my desktop with anticipation to listen to.)

Naledge’s opinion that the project isn’t so much a “mixtape…as an exhibit…hence the Chicago Picasso. The same way pablo picasso created a commissioned statue that has sat downtown in Chicago for years of interpretation, i want this mixtape to float the same way.

Dwele takes us into the mind of his creation with this rendition/honoring to Michael Jackson.

It takes a little long for the track to build up but if you get to the end you will have a true appreciation of his craft.  Plus helps to deconstructed Michael's approach to such a track.

Just to end this post off, "Human Nature" is the hotness, try finding a copy with SWV and thats the double hotness.

The first single from the Mars Volta's fifth album, Octahedron, sets the pace for the new catalogue of songs. I recently bought the album and was surprised to hear identifiable song structures devoid of a lot of sound manipulations, songs that range from 4-8 minutes long, a slowed down pace (for the Volta), and somewhat less cryptic lyrics- perhaps this is a stab toward a more mainstream sound(no one can quite predict anything with this band though)? Unlike most of their previos albums, the concept for this one has not been stated by the band(if there is a concept at all). From what I can gather, Bixler-Zavala sings about themes of being murderer and victim, terrorist, and kidnapper- sometimes in the same song(but those are just my guesses). Overall, I like this album, though it can be a bit slow in places. Also, for fans who hunger for the more traditional psychedelic sound of the Mars Volta, check out Omar Rodriguez-Lopez's Cryptomensia.

Here is Cloud, once called Cloud the Exclusive, rocking it in from of his MPC with a stack of 45s to his left.

Its speakds for its self, if you thought that beat in video was as hot as I thought it was, Clicked the link below to download his latest mixtape "Self Law" (be in store for a journey into sound.)
