Spotted this one @ MichiganHipHop.com and freaked out. This is not only one of my favorite Slum Village songs, but one of my favorite songs of all time. So of course, here’s the audio: Slum Village “Pregnant” [mp3].
Do you realize that Slum Village, Anti-Pop Consortium, Camp Lo AND Souls of Mischief are all poised to drop albums this year? 2009 is gonna be big fun.
Bonus: Slum Village “Fantastic (Instrumental)” [mp3]

New Lazers from ATL hip-hop veteran Ekundayo the Mountenliun. This is one of those deep concentration joints, open your mind + your ears and listen. Pay attention to Atlanta, people. As far as hip-hop, they’re not playing games and haven’t been for a long time.

Culture King Podcast #003: Vast Aire 2004 Interview
[divshare] [megaupload]
At one time I wrote for RIME Magazine, as you’ve seen from the articles I’ve uploaded thus far. In 2004, right before I stopped writing for RIME, I was given the chance to interview Vast Aire. Look Mom No Hands had just come out and it was a great time to interview Vast about where he’d been and what he looked forward to in his career. Lots of great info, including Vast’s musical beginnings, the making of The Cold Vein and the creative process of Look Mom.. Get comfortable, this is a good one. And this interview is a one of one, so remember where you got it. Enjoy.

“That ain’t a dimple in your face, it’s a dent!” The classic!!! Fam, you already know about the Scissor Tongue bootleg. Wow, me and my crew used to pass this back and forth on Maxell tapes, and it was a walkman necessity! Classic rhyme activity. If this is your first time peeping, consider yourself fortunate.
Vast Aire Interview Podcast tomorrow.
