New Life - "Fast Enough" - {Video}

Fast Enough encompasses the overall feeling of Dark Matter as a project overall, an exploration of sounds and styles within HipHop with a down-tempo eerie, yet darker tone. New Life is usually known for producing positive and uplifting music similar to their first EP release, "A New Beginning" but on Dark Matter, it appears they have choose to embrace "The Dark Side" of the force.

Leigh - "Drive In" - {Audio}

Newcomer artist Leigh (Lay) from Long Beach, CA just dropped a quit 16 on this track and I must say its kinda fly. The tone is smoothed out enough for the ladies to groove to and the lyrics are dope enough to hold the attention of those Real HipHop Heads.  I can't wait to see some visuals from Leigh soon hopefully, in the mean time you gotta check this brotha out he's got skills and not too bad on the eyes...ladies.

DJ Doom & Nutso 'It's Just Begun" (Ft.Large Professor, Tony Touch & El Da Sensei) - {Audio}

 

It's been just over 2 years since the passing of legendary recording artist Jimmy Castor. To mark this occasion, Blunted Astronaut and DJ Doom are proud to present a very special tribute to one of the most important B-Boy anthems of all time - the 1970 funk masterpiece "It's Just Begun".

Hailing from Brooklyn, NYC, Doom has been immersed in HipHop culture since the days of his youth in the early 1980's. Graffiti writer, B-Boy, DJ, producer, there's not a lot the man hasn't done! On this third BA release, he teams up with Nutso for a truly unique project, revisiting a timeless classic that carries forward the musical legacy of the late, great, Jimmy Castor for years to come.

His trusty SP1200 is once again put to work, and with guest appearances by Large Professor, Tony Touch and El Da Sensei (The Artifacts) this limited 7” is guaranteed to be another Blunted Astronaut sure shot.

It's also worth noting that the label artwork (by Mr. Krum) is inspired by the layout and typesetting of the U.S. 45 on Kinetic the much treasured 'original' version. This is not for the average HipHop fan but the Go Hard type of person who really know and respect foundation.

Checkout the mix below it truly represents HipHop in it's birth years.

Tate Kobang "Everything Black" (Ft. Matic808) - {Video}

Tate Kobang joint Everything Black featuring Matic808.  These young dudes from my home town Baltimore go H.A.M. on this track basically saying I will do Anything for my family even if I have to "Body" you Ni$##@!..I feel YOU!!  Being a B-more native myself I definitely understand this mentality.  Baltimore ain't no joke, you either pull out or get pulled on.  I really like the video concept very creative, not to mention paying homage to Dead Presidents one of my favorite movies.  Checkout the video below and let me know what ya'll think.
