Slaughterhouse: The One

This isn't that new (came out this summer) but a lot of people still haven't heard of Slaughterhouse despite their star power. Slaughterhouse consists of Royce Da 5'9", Crooked I, Joell Ortiz, and Joe Budden. Now I'm usually a big advocate of illegal downloads, but this group is dope and they deserve to be famous so cop the album. Also if this is the first you've heard of Crooked I you should go download one of his mixtapes this minute.

Volkswagon: Urban Piano

Saw this over on Wooster Collective, it's a cool little project put together by VW where they turned a staircase in a Stockholm train station into a working piano.

Asbestos: Lost Posters

This is so lame. I've been doing this around the DMV for like a year only I use paper and aerosol glue instead of stickers. Some of the stickers he put up are literally identical to the ones I put up too. It's cool though it gave me an idea for a new poster, "LOST: Creativity"

Lupe Fiasco: Fire

Lupe drops another gem for the masses. The song, Fire, samples Jimi Hendrix's '69 classic of the same name. I'm really digging the uptempo and Lupe's lyrics are insanely good as usual. There's a rumor going around that this song was a response to the total snub Lu got from MTV's Hottest MC's list but that doesn't make much sense to me. I'm hoping this is off his new album.

Building Projections

This is a video of some stunningly beautiful projections done on public buildings, cars, and other objects (pretty much anything that isn't a projection screen)

Bliss FM: Gotta Spend

Here's a new song from the very dope DMV based group Bliss FM. ATOM gives us a banging beat as usual and John's rhymes are on point, I'd expect nothing less from these cats. You can hear and download the song after the jump.

The Roots: How I Got Over

This is the official video for The Roots new song How I Got Over to be featured on their upcoming eighth studio album of the same name. The legendary Hip Hop band from Illadelph's live instrumentation and Black Thought's lyrics are as sharp as ever. This is very comforting as I was worried that Jimmy Fallon's mediocrity would rub off on them during their time as his house band.
