I’ve been waiting for this! Thanks to Rosenberg for the name-drop and including my question about The Beatnuts collabo with Grand Puba in the interview. Classic episode.
When The King Held Court
Music, My Dudes, Sports, Videos
Check out this new ESPN 30 for 30 short about Elvis Presley’s love of racquetball, produced by my cousin Christopher Isenberg. Dope.
Swell Uber
MusicThis “Uber Everywhere” remix is crack. Props to swell.
You’re Too Weird
Music, VideosSome throwback happy hour hippie shit for dat ass by my dogs the Fruit Bats. Shouts to WFUV, this “You’re Too Weird” in-studio version is fresh.
*UPDATE*
On a hunch, I just went to see if the Fruit Bats had released anything new. I read a while back that they were getting ready to put out an album this year, and sure enough they let a couple new songs fly recently. Check ’em out below (I think I like the first one better than the second), new LP Absolute Loser drops 5/13…
Paragraphs of a Poet’s Soul
MusicMilano Constantine just dropped a self-produced single featuring two new songs “Closer” and “Gotta Do It,” dedicated to his late father on the 12th anniversary of his passing. Lano’s one of my favorite rappers in New York right now, and don’t get it twisted, he’s been nice.
Stay tuned for his new EP The Road produced by DJ Skizz and Marco Polo, coming soon.
California Hoop Kings
Sports, VideosBig moments out West last night in the NBA. Will go down in history, for sure. Props to Kobe on going out like a true G (60 points in final game), and the Warriors and Steph Curry for the broken records (most regular season wins ever, Curry with over 400 threes wow).
Marci in Boston
Events, Music, VideosFor the tried and true Roc Marciano fans out there, check the side stage footage of his set last week in Boston at Cormega’s The Realness 15th anniversary show. Love the selections—”Bruh Man” live is especially ill. Shouts to Jazz for throwing this on Facebook Live (click that for extended footage), it was definitely a treat to see this pop up on the feed. And big ups D-OFFICIAL on the wheels for the upload, too.
D.I.T.C. Freestyle with Tony Touch
Music, VideosO.C. and Diamond D drop some bars live on air with Tony Touch. Respect the OGs, always.
*Bonus*
I was looking back at a couple past Toca Tuesdays freestyles I slept on, and I gotta say, Strong Island spitter SmooVth nonchalantly kills this shit. Dude is nice.
P&P Open Mic Night
