Automatic post anytime I see Roc Marciano and Action Bronson on the same track. Listen to Meyhem Lauren’s new one “Bonus Round,” featuring Roc and Bam Bam, with Harry Fraud on the boards and Big Body Bes with the shit-talk. Beautiful.
Pot In The Latkes
Music, VideosStraight outta White Plains comes MC Flow with a brand new hip-hop Hanukah jam for dat ass, “Pot in the Latkes.” MC Flow was a schoolmate of mine (WPHS class of ’95), and though I would’ve never pinned her back then as someone who could spit bars, I gotta admit, she’s got flow! And of course, I love the idea of putting pot in latkes—brilliant. Major props for this one, it’s fun.
On a related note, I’ll be performing as part of the Hoodies For Hanukah show at Mercury Lounge this Sunday, December 13th, and I’ve got some very special guests coming out with me so come celebrate end of the holiday with ya boy.
Blues Bling
Music, VideosEveryone and their moms has offered up a cover recently of Drake’s infectious “Hotline Bling” single. But my favorite of all the covers is by my dude Son Little, who gave it a bluesy, raspy twist. Check the live, in-studio, overseas performance above, and stream the official recorded version HERE. And go pick up that Son Little LP if you don’t have it yet, I co-sign it heavily.
Bay Baby
Music, VideosI don’t know much about Kamaiyah other than that she’s from the same city I was born in—Oakland—and that she’s on some next shit. Peep the video above for “How Does It Feel” and tell me homegirl ain’t sick with it. Go ahead. I’ll wait.

My Dudes, Stan IpcusI let a new Stan Ipcus song fly today, produced by my man El RTNC, who is best known for his production work on Your Old Droog’s debut album. I’ve been obsessed with this loop for months, and finally recorded some shit to it. Truthfully, these lyrics are mad old, but I never properly laid them down. The moment I heard this loop though, they popped in my head. Perfect fit. That’s how it works, baby! Shout to all you wack ass honky rappers, this one’s for you.
Speaking of Droog, listen below to his latest, “Basketball & Seinfeld.” This shit is so dope, and the references on both verses are incredible. I’ve been playing it nonstop for the past couple weeks since it dropped.

Oh, Hello, Off Broadway
Articles, Comedy, My Dudes
Westcheddar alumnus Nick Kroll (above right) and his longtime comedy partner John Mulaney (above left) are the stars of a new Off Broadway play, featuring the kvetching Upper West Side “Oh, Hello” duo they’ve been performing together as for years. I remember watching these guys slay improv shows at Georgetown back in our college days, so to see them killing it now to the point where The New York Times is doing articles on them is absolutely awesome. Read below.
