Common x Cocaine 80s - Six Ft. Over

De La Soul - Mr. Big Mouth

De La Soul, one of my favorite groups of all-time, is back with another banger. These dudes are 40+ years old and they are straight murdering the boom bap scene. I cannot wait to hear more details about their upcoming album.

Dragon Blues - The Mean

My friend James introduced this song to me and I haven't been able to stop listening to it. The sound is reminiscent of The Black Keys.

I'd like to set this up right next to my record player. I love this. (via Engadget)

DOOM - Red Bull Music Academy

Lecture: DOOM (Madrid 2011) from Red Bull Music Academy on Vimeo.

Being new to this whole music scene, this is probably one of the best interviews I've heard about how a regular song can be tweaked, turned, and transformed into an entirely new tune. Gaining insight to DOOM's creative process and understanding the reason behind the mask has been really motivating. This interview comes at a pinnacle point in my life.

I've been sitting on an idea for the past 10 months stumped. No clear direction. No clear idea of how I can translate my vision into an actual living breathing idea. No confidence in my ability to actually make this idea work.

But knowing that even DOOM had setbacks, challenges, and hiccups, I'm determined to make it work.
