HiPNOTT Records Presents… A Taste of HiPNOTT

A Taste of HiPNOTT Records - Sampler

Oh it's on now! The biggest thing to happen to The Movement Fam this year was being signed to Kevin Nottingham's HiPNOTT Records. So now that we mufuckin' offishall, Kev done put together a nice sampler of what y'all can expect from us. Peep game and get your DL on and spread the word! From Kev:

"Ever since I announced the formation of my new label, HiPNOTT Records, I have been wanting to give you all a "taste" of what's to come. The music really is THAT GOOD... and the music is the sole reason I put the label together.

So I compiled a sampler, if you will, of music from all the artists currently on my roster. Some tracks are brand new and being premiered here first, while others are some of the best that these artists have had in their vaults.

At any rate, A Taste of HiPNOTT should give you a good idea of what the label will sound like and what's to come this year.

Don't forget to visit us at www.hipnottrecords.com for more music!

In addition, anyone that's in the L.A. area, I'm gonna head out there this weekend for Nobody Famous' album release party. So if you're in the area and wanna hang, check the attached flyer! Any promotion of the party is appreciated also..."

Inverse - Keys to the City - LA from Yours Truly on Vimeo.

The homies Inverse (what up Tunj?) done did their thing on the latest Keys To The City. Peep the description:

"Inverse gives you an insider's tour of the finer restaurants that populate the City of Angels such as Tito’s Tacos and IN-N-OUT Burger, all while shedding some light on their backstory. As Los Angeles brims with the talented new voices it’s inspired, Inverse takes the lead and treats us to a set of fresh acapellas. If you like what you hear, cop the So True EP on iTunes or Amazon and support independent artists."

It's Homo Tuesday!

It's Homo Tuesday!

So you're gonna just sit there, press play, and enjoy what might just be the gayest Prince song ever. It's also my favourite, right now at least. I couldn't find the actual music video anywhere, but that probably doesn't have Prince rocking pink fur. Sure, he'd probably be wearing something just as homo but the peacocking (look it up) definitely got him lots of pussy. Penis too.

Alright I'll be honest... I think Prince is actually comparing a romantic man/woman relationship to a platonic woman/woman relationship. It's still gay. I still love it.

And all the above is acceptable for me (and anyone else) to say on Homo Tuesday. Thanks for reading.

50 Cent To Drop "Street Album" on the 23rd

50 Cent says he's dropping a project called War Angel next Tuesday on ThisIs50.com. According to 50, the War Angel LP is more a street album than a mixtape.

“When you hear it, out of all the material I put on the street, you’re gonna say that’s the best body of work I put out in the mixtape circuit, period," he told MTV. "The way the mood of music is right now, when they hear what this is, they’ll say, ‘That’s what we needed.’"

50 Cent also announced more projects coming.
“I have two other tapes to follow it,” he revealed. “Fourth of July, Sincerely Southside Part 2 coming out with mostly ’90s music on it. Timeless music, classic hit records. Then, after that, there’s a G-Unit mixtape. It’s actually untitled. I’ll be finished with it in the next day or so.”

Here's 50 Cent talking about the project - Watch out for the TRIPPER intro.. lol

Nobody Famous + Dasha: Don't Act Like I Never Told You Part 2‏

Nobody Famous and Dasha

"Don't Act Like I Never Told You" from Nobody Famous has been doing extremely well since we released the single/video three weeks ago on HiPNOTT Records. Over 40 blogs/websites picked it up and I want to personally thank all of you for its success. As announced last week, Order Up! Volume 3 now has an official release date of July 28.

The next leak off the album is the official remix, "Don't Act Like I Didn't Tell You Part 2", featuring the lovely, talented Dasha. It's more or less an answer record to the original song. Dasha is currently putting the finishing touches on her debut EP, which is totally produced by G.C. You should hear that before the end of the summer, which will lead up to her debut album this fall.

And let's not forget the remix contest we held for "Don't Act Like I Never Told You." Over 30 remixes were submitted, with all different types of styles. Ultimately we decided on the remix from Dario as the official B-Side to "Don't Act Like I Never Told You Part 2". Congratulations Dario and thanks to everyone who participated! Don't forget, you can still purchase the original version via iTunes and Amazon.com.

Nickelus F / Portishead - R.A.R.E. (Reliving A Real Experience)

If you have even a passing interest in both Hip Hop and Trip Hop you need to check out the sampler for this new project.

Nickelus F from Richmond, VA, has used some of his favourite Portishead tracks as inspiration for his latest musical creation. He adds well placed verses which only serve to add to the musical trip Portishead already took us on. Nickelus F really nails each track on this sampler. Can't wait for the full release.

Mos Def x Self Scientfic

Mos Def stops through the Prohibit NYC store and got to hear some of the new Self Scientific album. Damn, I’m beyond jealous right now… Self Sci is one of the dopest emce/producer duos out there. Chace & Khalil? Sheeeeeit! The joint playing is called Jetski, and might not even make the final cut. So Chace… if it doesn’t, I better get an email with the damn .mp3 haha! And despite internet rumors, Mos Def is still dropping The Ecstatic next week so be sure to support that real hip hop!
