AMAZING trailer for a new MTVu series featuring one of my favorite new MCs, Blitz the Ambassador. From my inbox:
I wanted you to check out this footage of Blitz the Ambassador, from the MTVu House Band series, recorded last week at Royal Blue Studios in Brooklyn, a completely analog facility run by platinum engineer/producer Robert Honablue (Miles Davis, Jimi Hendrix, Sly & the Family Stone, Leonard Bernstein, Aretha Franklin). Blitz recorded 5 songs during the session with a beefed up, 12-piece version of his Embassy Ensemble, and several special guests, including John Forte and Bajah (of the Dry Eye Crew). The recording process was documented over a series of 8 videos, which include interviews with Honablue, the special guests, Blitz himself and live footage of the songs “Kill the Radio”, “Remembering the Future”, “Nothing to Lose”, “Dying to Live”, and “Something to Believe”. The video series will be released in succession after the holiday weekend, but below you can check out the trailer and a 30-second clip of the “Remembering the Future”.
Big ups to Alex for sending this along.

ALBUM REVIEW:Massive Attack “Heligoland”
Massive Attack – Paradise Circus
[Audio clip: view full post to listen]
Tomorrow marks the official release date (U.S. and Canada) for Heligoland, the 5th proper studio album by Massive Attack.
Whereas the 2003 release 100th Window glistened with mechanical accuracy and disciplined minimal techno, Heligoland finds the Bristol duo returning to the dirtier, dubbed out sound of [...]
Review: Corinne Bailey Rae – The Sea
It seemed like only yesterday that we saw fresh faced Leeds singer Corinne Bailey Rae burst onto the scene. Her self-titled debut album, laced with pop hits “Like A Star,” and the empowering “Put Your Records On,” made her a critical and commercial darling.
After experiencing the death of her husband, it seemed like Corrinne would [...]

Mixtape Review: SMKA – The 808 Experiment Vol 2
The SMKA compilation might lack the star power of Big Boi’s Purple Ribbon All-Stars compilation from a few years ago, but it is a solid piece of work, and should do good things for all who were involved.
