Made In Queens
Made in Queens is a documentary by Nicholas Randall and Joe Stevens documenting a fresh group Trinidadian kids in a Queens subperb. Lead by teenage master builder Nicholas Ragbir, the squad turns BMX bikes into speaker balancin, mobile block party making monsters. Peep game here:

If you’d rather stick to your discman and your fixed gear, pump this on your way to Johnny Brenda’s.

Santogold & Project Pat “Shuv It” (Three Six Mafia Remix)
Big ups to DJ Benzi (NSFW website) for putting me up on this amazing Three Six Mafia remix of Santogold Phil $’s ex-babysitter’s “Shuv It.” Project Pat kills it and the beat is typcial Three Six madness.
BTW, what’s up with this “I Love Project Pat” gear?

What You Know About…
…Double XX Posse?
I’m just as hype over “Funk Dat 2009″ as Emynd is, and it immediately made me think of my other favorite irreverent throwback hip-hop track catchphrase, “I’m Not Gon’ Be Able To Do It.” How hot is it to tell some really cute light-skinned girl about herself in the 1992 era of New Jack City and Mike Tyson’s rape conviction? I’m all about how the bass opens up this track and the thats’s-not-a-word nonsensical lyrics like ”move into a crib in some suburbian area.” Such a great combination; it makes me want to start saying “Eat My Shorts!” again just to be a new jack crotchety old-head.
Playboy Tre “Bleachers”
The first great rap song I’ve heard in 2009. I know we’re only like a week in, but hot damn this song is absolutely incredible. Follow homie on Twitter or check his myspace.
In the mean time, hit up the always great Blvd St and cop this song and super big thanks to CB Rap for putting me up on dude. Sooo damn good.

Oh Snap!! “Funk Dat 2009″
Saw this posted on the hollerboard and was momentarily terrified. Was expecting a horrible Blog House remix that updated this classic House song into something unbearably Bass-heavy and predictably formatted like “UNTZ UNTZ UNTZ UNTZ (music drops out)… FUNK DAT! (bass drops) WAMPY WAMP WAMP WAAAHMP WAAHMP.” Thankfully, it’s a really tasteful update of the song with some more relevant but equally hilarious lyrics. Highly recommended!
Check out Oh Snap!! on myspace and he should have some new stuff up on Beatport soon.

Hills is Watching
In August of last year Morro de Provincia, touted by Brazilian press as Rio’s most violent favela, made news for a different reason: the completion of 28 Millemetros: Women, an installation by French Photographer/Street artist “Jr.” The artist documented women in the Favela and wheat pasted their images on house facades.

A BUNCH OF R&B
DOWNLOAD (192 kps)
This month, I (Emynd) wanted to make a mix of some of the new-ish R&B I’ve been into so I could listen to it on my just-long-enough-to-be-annoying drive to work every day. Some of it is cheesy, some of it is sappy, some of it is HARD, and some of it is guilty pleasure steez, but whatever… I fux with this stuff. Serg will hate this, but you shouldn’t. Mostly done in one-take with a bit of editing here and there to clean up some stuff. I scratched a little bit too much in parts because I got all ADD while doing this in one-take, so sorry about that. Anyway, enjoy!

Cyssero “Swagg It Out” Remix
Thanks to Philly Sh*t Blogspot, Cyssero’s “Swagg It Out” Remix featuring Gillie, Mike Knox, Meek Millz, and Readi Rok. Meek goes in but he’s still a bit sloppy. Homie needs to tighten it up a bit.
