I’m not gonna lie.. when it comes to hip-hop, I rarely get excited. With that said, there are a few select acts that arouse my senses and have me giddy like a school girl, and among those acts is none other than NERD. Recently they released Everybody Nose, the first single from their upcoming album, Seeing Sounds. This single received mixed reactions amongst critics and fans alike, so they’ve decide to release the remix to shut everyone the f@#$ up. Recruiting Pusha T to join supergroup CRS (Child Rebel Solders, the group consisting of Lupe Fiasco, Kanye West, and Pharrell himself), I present to you the Everyone Nose Remix:

NERD ft CRS, Pusha - Everybody Nose (remix)

And on that note, the video for the original was just released today:

Cocaine is cool. You can quote me on that. PEACE!

It’s been a little while since we heard from our boy DLake. The broheem was kind enough to get back in touch by sending this mellow banger our way.

Royksopp - Remind Me (DLake remix)

Also coupled with this little bundle of joy is an old mixtape we threw up last year. Nice little album art and tracklist to match.  ‘Click more’ for the tape.

I wouldn’t say I’m an art critic or relatively knowledgeable in art by any means, but I dig the concept of public art nonetheless. Why? Because it transforms the often dull and dreary cityscape into one which inspires creativity, it encourage us to relook and redesign things, and lastly it spices things up for most of us which are caught in the daily 9-5 grind. That said, the artist should appreciate the magnitude of their work in such settings, as it is overtly visible to so many.

I stumbled across this piece by Henk Hofstra dubbed Art Eggcident on display in one of Leeuwaarden’s public city squares and instantly loved it. The 100 foot wide eggs will be on display in one of the Netherland’s largest city squares for the next 6 months. Sure it’s a little weird, but as long as it’s not vulgar then I’m cool with it.
