Lyrics Born – “Callin Out”
Lyrics Born – AKA Asia Born, originally Tom Shimura of Berkeley, CA by way of Tokyo, Japan – is part of a wave of innovation in hip-hop which defies clichés and embraces creativity and entertainment over materialism, violent imagery and ridiculous egos. The joyfully defiant “Callin’ Out” couldn’t be more East Bay on a bet, featuring a jazzy disco-funk bed, soaring female vocal choruses, and Borns’ own distinctive street narrative. This is gr8 party music that you can also you can get your think on to. Enjoy.

ApSci – “Crazy Crazy Insane”
Not just crazy, not merely insane, but crazy crazy insane. There’s a difference. Check it out. This is a clever, quirky pop song about being mad about someone. Not a new concept really but one which will never grow old. The laugh sample and whistling and humming on this track might be enough to have you committed involuntarily, but if not, the duet vocal will finish the job. Listen at your own risk. Second thought, you’d better not. Nothing to see here. Move along. Oh dear, you’re downloading. Ok, the nice young men will be there in their lab coats to collect you shortly.

Blackalicious – “Alphabet Aerobics”
Here’s another mp3 from one of my fave hip-hop artists, Blackalicious. This track is foolish. And by that I mean brilliant. What a cool idea, picking up the tempo like that. Sickness!
