Mikkey Halsted - Best You Never Heard

Download!!!!

This project includes tracks spanning from his time with Kanye West to his stint with Cash Money, and more recent work with No ID. These 38 heaters should more than get you up to speed. Best You nEver Heard features new, old and unreleased material - including snippets off his upcoming project, Dark Room (eg: "Runnin' My City" featuring Bun B, Killer Mike, Crooked I and others.)

The Go Experiment (Fake Shore Drive) *1 - 5*

I pretty much like ANYTHING with Mikkey Halsted on it, but besides him this is a very dope gathering of some of the best rappers in Chicago (the world). Features just about everyone in the current Chicago scene today from COLD HARD (crucial Conflict) to newer cats like Mic Terror. Enjoy!

Swiped from FSD.

"Here is a little more background for you: We filmed this event last Spring at Leaders1354 on Wells and we invited close to 30 emcees to participate. The Experiment was hosted by PHLI-guy Dave Jeff, with Jay iLLa handling the DJ duties. We told the emcees to arrive and be prepared to spit a quick sixteen - however, I'm not sure they knew they were going to be in a room of their rapping peers. The public was not invited, and besides a few lucky patrons, it was only rappers in the room. And all rappers spit over Chicago beats."

Amber Rose - Complex Magazine Spread

I don't know much about this chick Amber Rose personally (nor care to) but she is FINE. Like got damn wtf did Kanye find this bitch? Here is a photo shoot & interview she did with Complex.

Did you always have an eclectic style growing up?
Yea, I always looked up to Slash from Guns N’ Roses. I had every single poster of Slash in my room. It was crazy because I grew up in an all-black neighborhood and everybody I went to school with was black. I was the only biracial looking girl in my school, and Slash was biracial too, he was just a fucking rock star. I always wanted to play the guitar. I’ve tried, but other things came up.

Recently you’ve been thrust into the world of TMZ and Perez Hilton. How have you been dealing with the gossip blogs?
This is my life, this is how my life’s been since I was a kid. I’ve always been popular, my name has always been in somebody’s mouth in high school. I don’t lose no sleep over this shit. Some of the stuff, when it’s extremely far-fetched and stupid, I just laugh. I don’t lose a minute of sleep over this.

Walter Meego - Girls (Grandtheft remix)

It’s 3 AM and you’re giggling with inebriation. You’re wearing painfully tight jeans. You just made out with a complete stranger on the dancefloor, and you haven’t sat down in over eight hours. Where are you? You are smack in the middle of Walter Meego’s world, and you have a knowing, gleeful smirk on your face.

Walter Meego is not a dude, but a duo. Justin Sconza and Colin Yarck, the heart and soul (respectively) of Walter Meego, are two rare suburban white boys who intuitively understand the subliminal power of synthy, salacious bass.

Here is their single GIRLS remixed by Canada's DJ Grandtheft

Top Friend$ list mu$t Have$!! (pt. 1 of a 3 parter y'all)

While running on myspace (what, what, what) I found something to hate on, I mean I noticed something.

That something is that there are DEFINITIVE must have's on hipsters/scenesters top friends list. All of my top friends (all 5 of them) are either Black chicks who do Alt. Porn, or people I'm actually friends with i.e. Brandon & Murs (September 30th Warner Bros. Presents MURS FOR PRESIDENT, plug plug plug), But there seems to be certain people who are MUST HAVES in a top friends list. Oh & there is a Hierarchy too, not in actual placement like cooler kids up top, lessers in the bottom, but in actually being in almost everyone's top friends, meaning that while hipsters are way too f*cking cool too have their COOLEST friends at the top of their list, but they still MUST ALWAYS have certain people/acts/things in the list in general.


let's break this off into 3 sections, THE MUST MUST HAVE's, The Fave Cool Bands & The Up n Comers.


The Must Must Have:

#1 is probably U.K. & Trinidad's (& Tobago) own Kesh!

What can I say about this woman that has not been said. I for one will admit that she was in my toppies for at least a full solstice if not longer. For one she's beautiful, light but not too light, tall, artsy, hipster & YES YES YES fucking FOREIGN. You know that in America anything foreign is f*cking cool.

#2 is Taz Arnold

Taz used to make beautiful gay music(c) with this awesome band called Sa-Ra Creative Partners, I guess that ended & now he's making like weird Obama videos n stuff. If I discovered this discovery about a year ago he would of been numero uno. =(

#3 is Mik from GN$

I can't clown my peeps, so ugh just buy his shoes they'll GET YOU LAID.


#4 is some dude named Haycock!

I don't know who he is, but like every hipster/scenester especially on the westcoast has him in their top friends.

Oh, he throws some kinda day party on Sunday's, which must be a big deal. But if you really partied on Saturday night, you wouldn't be able to make it to a Sunday event during Day Hours...I'll pass.

#5 is this guy, project or thing

He or Them, really really really hated the f*cking War in Iraq because he got a few hundred or more people to hold this sign, even got arrested & kick out of a few venues doing so, which Is great I guess but yeah it was the in thing to do to have this project in your top friends, blah.


See You On Part II.
