…This track requires, A. a car, B. a weekend, C.  volume at 20

“If them kicks get scuffed, then I’m bustin ya ass”.

Directed by  – Jeff Osborne


Download – Funkghost – The Way I Rock My Clothes [Symbolic One (S1 ) of Strange Fruit Project]

Tampa mc/artist/producer Funkghost is prepping a new album, Dirty But Sophisticated and we liking what we hear.  “The Way I Rock My Clothes” is the first single off of the album.

It’s nice to hear some diversity. You may remember him as co-producer on Rahim Samad’s John Horse joint. This is him as an artist- a completely different sound, produced by none other than S1 of Strange Fruit [educate ya self].

We’d anticipate Dirty But Sophisticated to have a little bit of everything, staying true to its name, but time will tell.  We diggin this record, so peep the download and let it live with ya.

**Also fuck bringing back shags and hightop fades, ya’ll need to get up on Funkghost’s Teddy Pendergrass part…now that joint is FRESH!

Download: Rahim Samad – On The Corner [prod. Rahim Samad]

There’s always a silver lining to a day when you discover a new artist that you dig. Case in point, in our travels on these internet skreets, we came across this video for this cat Rahim Samad. “On The Corner” has everything I wanted in a song. Great rhymes, great beats, period. I was actually surprised to see all of the Tampa shots, but turns out he’s a NYC transplant down in Tampa.  “On The Corner” is actually from his old album, Freedom/Resurrection.

His his latest album, Travel Properly along with is previous release, Freedom/Resurrection is available for order on his myspace and Vault Classic.

Check the latest track, “John Horse” and video after the jump.
