Once again, my blog game done slipped. Gonna step it back up now though. The homies Freedom Writers knocked out this incredible tune, complete with video. Mad political, beat is dope and the message is pertinent. Wake up.
June has already shaped up to be a big month for The Fam. My bad on slippin' on this but Notion, DJ Gentleman (making his TMF debut) and myself rocked a sick set at The Silver Dollar Room here in TO, and thanks to y'all, we pulled the biggest crowd of the night. It was stacks of fun, and hopefully we'll rock there again. And next Friday June 24th, we have a huge set as we're opening for the Track Avenue event at the legendary El Mocambo, with My Son The Hurricane and What She Said, along with March Fourth. It'll be a full line up - Notion, Cee, Bekah, DJ Gentleman and Pat Cole on the drums. Fucking vibed.
Hit me up for pre-sale tickets, otherwise we'll see y'all there! Flyers for both shows (along with FB event links) are after the jump...

Silver Dollar Presents The Movement Fam LIVE
So here's the first official video from the Shady and Nickel collab album, Bad Meets Evil. I fucks with it. Kinda corny for Royce but I guess he's gotta get that money. Should be insane either way.
Shouts to the homie LE for putting me onto Toronto native The Weeknd. Dude reminds me of The-Dream something crazy. I've been bumping this all day and it's growing on me the more I listen to it. Here are some of my faves, but be sure to download the free album 'House Of Balloons' from The Weeknd's website.
I ain't even blogged about this yet, but we got another supergroup on our hands. Random Axe is Black Milk, Sean Price and Guilty Simpson, and the fellas done dropped a video for 'The Hex', their first single from their self-titled album. Shit is as you would expect from these cats. Keen as for the album.
Mayer Hawthorne has been one of my favourite artists for a minute, and just to reiterate how amazing this cat is, dude drops a free 6 track covers EP. My favourite cut is his cover of Chromeo's 'Don't Turn The Lights On', which is fucking genius. Go get this now.

So David Dallas has gotta be one of the most hyped up and comers in the game right now. After achieving all that he could in NZ, he moved north to NY, inked a marketing deal with Duck Down and it's been a wrap ever since. He's a huge inspiration to us, as it shows what a cat from our side of the planet can achieve. He drops his latest album, 'The Rose Tint', totally free. And it's dope as fuck. Check what all the hype is about.
The big homie Cyclops been knocked out yet another video from his 'When Inspiration Hits' album. Dope. Peep game.
Y'all know we been fans of D-Dot since he was Con Psy. This is the latest video from 'The Rose Tint', which drops on May 11th. And it's a free album. Boss. Can't wait.
Apparently this joint is from 2008. I have no idea how it slipped passed my radar but at least, thanks to Nosh, I found it. It appears Anthony David is a soul singer from Atlanta, and this cut is from his album 'Acey Ducey'. He's also cousins with Shawn Stockman from Boyz II Men. Peep the 'Words' video and live performance, as well as the cut with Phontigga.
I've been kinda outta the loop lately but if the rumours about an Em and Royce collab album are true, shit is over. Fucking incredible.
Huge shouts to the homie Nastee for the timeliness on this one. "Obama Bin Laden" starring Barack Obama & Nastee co-Starring Osama Bin Laden, Dick Cheney, George H. Bush, George W. Bush, Joe Biden, John McCain, Bill Clinton & Rudy Giuliani Special Guests: Noble Drew Ali & Mumia Abu Jamal
Produced, Written, Directed & Performed By Nastee http://4wordproductions.org http://twitter.com/nasteeluvzyou
Nastee puts it down In light of the recent capture and murder of Osama Bin Laden. The song was written almost word for word last spring, recorded in December (2010) and the video has been in production since January (2011). Originally slated for a summer release, 4word decided to drop it now amidst all this "Bin Laden" hoopla. 4word's opinion is that Bin Laden did not and could not have acted alone in the events of September 11. Most likely his accomplices were The Bush & Cheney families since they benefited the most from the attacks. Also, there is no real proof that Osama did it! He has never had a trial. The only proof amerikkkans have is a video tape (dubbed in english) with Osama supposedly taking credit. While I'm sure he was a major part of 911, it's obvious that he didn't pull it off by himself. This song is not about Osama but more of a state of the union address by Nastee, directed in letter form to Barack Obama. The only way to get true change is talk about it and then put it into action.....

The big homie Hezekiah killed a show out at the BK Bowl with Talib Kweli recently...here's some dope footage.
On some nerd shit, I've always been a huge fan of The Lord Of The Rings books, so the movies were crack to me. I genuinely am vibed as hell for The Hobbit, and Peter Jackson recently posted the first video blog as they begin shooting...
