MP3 Download: Summer Sounds Podcast, Part 1
So its that time of year again. The temperature is rising. The ladies are wearing less. And you're wiping the dust off the BBQ grill.
Yep. It’s summertime, bitches!
And of course, here at TCS, we have to set the season off right. So, for your approval, I've [...]

Review: Sergio Mendes - Timeless

Chances are you haven’t heard of Sergio Mendes. It’s okay; unless you’re older and into Brazilian jazz, the name wouldn’t be familiar to you. However, he was a driving force in Brazil’s jazz and bossa nova scene in the ’60s and ’70s. Mendes, along with his band Brasil ‘66, enjoyed much success back in the [...]

Thursdays: Just Bcus

Although Rome might be convinced that DC nightlife sucks, I'm not giving up on the Chocolate Caramel City yet. I don’tknow if I’ll be able to make it to Nema this Thursday (I’ll be in the area, but I have other obligations), but if they pull off half of what they promise on [...]

Free Music: Dangerdoom Occult Hymn EP

Dangerdoom Occult Hymn EP (Zip File)
Adult Swim dropped a couple new Dangerdoom MP3s for the past few weeks now, but now they’ve been so nice to actually give us the Occult Hymn EP in its entirety.
The only problem with this release is that they compressed the tracks to 62kb so it’s not CD quality. But [...]

The Best Albums of the Year So Far

So we're reaching that halfway point of '06 and I have to say that ya boy is disappointed with the new album releases so far. Maybe because I got so much good new music in '05, I figure that 2006 would be even better. But alas, most of my playlist consists of music that was [...]

Ding Ding

Royce the 5'9 Ding Ding (prod by Premo) HELL YES!!! Didn’tRoyce say his entire next album will be produced by Premo? UGH!! Lets go, this is fiyah!!!

They Can’t Hold The Torch So Why Pass It

Busta Rhymes feat Q Tip Can’tHold the Torch (prod by Dilla)
Nice job by JayDee (RIP) of flipping that sample and creating an ill track. Bussa and Tip compliment each other well on this. Definitely a good look for the ipod.

Brownstone

It was 94 (or 95, maybe 93). Brownstone feat. Craig Mack on the bad boy remix to “If You Love Me” and had been one of my favorite songs ever since. I think they went on to drop another album (were they always on MJJ music?), but haven’tbeen heard from since the late [...]

Shes The One Tattooed On His Arm

I just wanted to show my appreciaton for Mrs. Jones. Homegirl is like a melting pot of everything I could personally want in an african american jawn (cuz we arizona players don’tdiscriminate). The “Bossy” video was/is a GREAT look (did SHE write those lyrics though?), both musically and visually and hopefully all the [...]
