4 new dope/ different videos: @kylerapps @realtalibkweli @sirahone @_ASAProcky @Luckyovlegends (Video & MP3)

I have been searching for some dope videos that have nothing to do with each other, and I seem to find 2 great ones.
One features Kyle Rapps w/ Talib kweli in a awesome audition that features NYC acts like Diwon and Y Love and Jah C tryin out for the part of…well. something famous?
Universe Traveler plays over the beat of French Duo “Air” and has Talib doing what he does best…talking about travelling the world!

Our other video features Sirah, an LA songstress that mixes some indie pop over some feel good LA picnic steez. Double Yellow Lines is much different than Kyle Rapps’ video. Kissing little dogs and picnic baskets and partly shaven heads, might not be your thing. I am def into picnic baskets on bikes though. Good move Sirah….

Aceyalone & RJD2 – “Ever Seen This” (MP3)

So here’s a question—is it harder or easier to rhyme is a made up language. Plenty of haters have given Dr. Seuss tons of shit over the years for all of his imaginary nouns, but heads know the Dr. was dope. Same verdict then for this new cut by Aceyalone and RJD2, who re-join forces for the first time since 2006’s surprise collaboration album, Magnificent City.

“Ever Seen This” appears on the Sim City 3: Stereo Jams soundtrack, and features Aceyalone rapping in Simglish (you know that’s the language from the game you computer geeks).
