NBA Free Agency is upon us and Detroit has wasted little time in getting started. The Pistons, according to sources, have come to agreements with Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva on multi-year contracts. Gordon and Villanueva, who played together for a season at UCONN, will be key pieces in the rebuilding of Detroit and hopefully allowing them to contend with the Magic, Celtics, Lebron’s and Hawks. Joe Dumars, GM of the Pistons, also recently let go of Michael Curry, the head coach who had seemed at odds with his players at times. Avery Johnson and Doug Collins are rumored to be his replacements.
Props to Tunji for getting this over to me yesterday, didn’t get a chance to listen to it until this morning. If you like it, I suggest looking for a copy of Future Talk.
Two years after the release of their critically lauded full length debut, Future Talk, Seattle-based hip hop group The Physics are back with June 2009’s release of High Society, an eight track EP of new material representing a natural progression both musically and personally. Steeped heavily in references to jazz and soul, Just D’Amato’s production (alongside Phee Dill & Dyalect) provides the smoothed-out backdrop against which lyricists Thig Natural and Monk Wordsmith (absent from Future Talk but a notable presence here) do their thing and do it with skill. Featuring guest appearances by beastly Seattle MCs Language Arts (“Back Track”) and Macklemore (“Good”) as well as one of the year’s most buzzed about local duos, the fresh-as-all-hell females of Thee Satisfaction (“Radio Head”), High Society dims the lights on the laidback aesthetic established in Future Talk and invites the listener to get real grown—and enjoy it. While this EP may feel like a main course, don’t get it twisted: it’s merely just a taste of what’s to come, a prelude to an additional as-yet-untitled release slated for later in the summer.
This video is a little old but I’m using it to go into this. The homie Kenny over at FreshSelects has an exclusive 3 song E.P. from Ragen that I highly recommend you grab. She is incredibly talented you can also check for her on “Rhythm Of The Drum” as a part of M64 with Ohmega Watts. You can get there directly by following the link below
I know what you’re thinking right? Mase? Really Mils?……Yeah really…..Bad Boy effectively curbed The L.O.X. and Murder Mase into Shiny suit wearing cats for a minute. But what happens when you throw Black Rob and DMX into the mix? You get “24 Hours ToLive”
