This has gotta be the most retarded song out right now - but the dance is so stupid that it's awesome. Notion and I have been going hard at it for the last couple days. Shouts to Ash for the hook up.
Also, peep the funny ass outtake video clip. Gold.
That's right peoples, y'all can officially purchase The Fam tunes on the interweb. It doesn't get any better than that.
The Soul Movement Volume 1 and The Soul Movement Volume 2 Originals, with full length original songs produced by folks like Styalz Fuego, Whisper, Revelino, KrisblaiR (Canada), Da-Phai, Infinite Archetype and Beat Chemist (Canada), and featuring guest spots from The Movement Fam (Notion and Tommy Gunnz), and Canada's KrisblaiR and Jessica Kaya (sister of ultra dope MC Eternia).
They can be purchased individually or as an 'EP' (6 songs on Vol 1 and 5 songs on Vol 2). And with songs being a lazy $0.89 each and the EP sitting around $5 (on Amazon), how can you go wrong? Either click on the pics above or the links below. Easy.
Big ups to the homies The Understudies out in the East Bay, California.
Not only are they top blokes, but they have just released the third installment in their mixtape series, 'CC3'. And what makes this one super awesome is that it features our inter-crew collab, 'Never Going Away', which we recorded in Oakland, California on our recent trip there.
The song will also be released in the very near future on vinyl in both Australia and the USA as a double sided 12", which will be very exciting. So click on the cover to be taken to the 'Name Your Price' site where you can pay what you like for it (minimum is 50cents) - and remember, is not a mixtape full of jacked beats; this is all original, quality Hip Hop from the Bay.
Click on the back cover to be taken to The Understudies MySpace page.
Oh yeah, and while you're at it, go get your free download of the G.O.D.Cast Vol 2 podcast from the crew, which features an interview with Cee, Bekah and Notion by Citizen and Fly Cobb live in Oakland.
Toronto native Drake, now signed to Young Money (Lil' Wayne's label for y'all who ain't know), has gotta be one of The Movement Fam's favourite MC's, hands down.
So we all had his debut mixtape, 'Comeback Season', but all of a sudden there was like three more mixtapes available. What the fuck? You know we had to share it with y'all.
Peep:
There's prolly a fair bit of repetition here but it's worth it. Holla.

Once again, shouts to the homie DJ Hyphen for this one. He's hooked up the whole Fam with pieces on his blog (interestingly, the title is a play on a book by Barack Obama called 'The Audacity of Hope'), and the kid Notion got his lil feature on right here.
Check out World Domi-NoTiOn on The Audacity of Dope (download that bitch!); and while you're at it, check out the rest of the blog. It's a heater.
Shouts to the homie DJ Hyphen for this one. Not only did he generously have us on his popular show, Sunday Night Sound Sessions, in Seattle when The Fam was in town, but Hyph done went and posted our mixtapes for DL to show some more love. Respect.
Check out The Soul Movement Volume 2 on The Audacity of Dope; and while you're at it, check out the rest of the blog. It's a heater.
Autotune Old 80's Technology That Has Resurfaced!!!!!
This Autotune madness is being used by every one and their daddy. Don't get me wrong for certain songs and artists it works but for others......naaaaah it does not do it. Check out this mixtape by Roger Riley and Teddy Troutman that take autotune to a new level.

For those of you that don't know, Tanya Morgan is a rap group, and recently they won a MySpace contest that highlighted new artists. Make sure you pick up their entire music collection (Moonlighting, The Bridge and dropping early next year Brooklynati). Make sure you download this classic. Shouts to Jermiside who has the verse of the year on the track "Easy". I have a treat for all the fans that think hip hop is dead.

Much love to the homie Trav for lookin' out for The Fam, once again. Make sure y'all check out the WYDU blog, definitely one of the tightest blogs on the web, straight up.
Massive shouts to my man Kev. Dude has supported The Fam from the day he heard about us through the homie Sean Deez, and we can't thank him enough for everything.
Have a read of The Movement Fam article from Kev's site back in September, just before we left for the US/Canada/NZ trip.
Also, this week happens to be Kanye West week over at www.kevinnottingham.com, in celebration of the release of '808s & Heartbreak', which I happened to cop today. Like I said the other day, this album is incredible. I love it so much. Except 'Ye went and changed 'Welcome To Heartbreak' to a more minimal sound with strings on the retail album as opposed to the doper, more synthy leaked version. That alone caused me not to delete the leaked version from the iPod.
Kanye's 'Glow In The Dark' hits Melbourne in 2 weeks. Very excited over here.
The Movement Fam's US trip in September/October is gonna be featuring a fair bit on this blog, I dare say. So much came out of it, it's crazy. Still trying to finalise everything, but we'll keep y'all posted. Video blogs coming soon as well!
Anyway, we were lucky enough to be able to spend some time with an awesome cat by the name of DJ Hyphen in the wonderful city of Seattle, WA, and he invited us along to appear on his famous Sunday Night Sound Sessions show on KUBE 93 FM, the major 'urban' (for lack of a better word) station in Sea-Town. Hyph and co-host J. Moore had us in the studio all night, played a track from Notion's mixtape and interviewed us all. Check out the link below to Hyphen's blog with all the info, plus a download of the show.
