B. Dolan’s “Film The Police” Goes Viral (Video)

Last week, Strange Famous Records released “Film The Police,” the first single from B. Dolan’s House of Bees Vol. II mixtape. The song is a blistering political anthem featuring label boss Sage Francis, Toki Wright of Rhymesayers, activist/rap journalist Jasiri X and UK crate digger Buddy Peace.

“Film The Police,” pays tribute to N.W.A.’s infamous “Fuck The Police,” and serves as a call to action for the digitized media movement while responding to the recent explosion of police brutality all across the world.

Since it’s release, the video has logged close to 70,000 views in seven days, and earned an incredible number of co-signs from folks like Michael Moore, folk singer/activist Billy Bragg, Killer Mike, Jay Smooth, and countless others. The song has also been picked up and retweeted by Anonymous Central and a number of international #Occupy accounts, making it one of the first popular anthems of this year’s definitive movement.

Sole Drops “I Think I’m Ben Bernanke” + New Mixtape (Video & MP3)

As the Occupy Wall Street movement continues to stretch its tendrils across the nation, anti-establishment emcee Sole has unleashed a timely video and mixtape to further document the world on fire. In “I Think I’m Ben Bernanke,” Sole portrays the head of the Federal Reserve in the not-so-distant future as a homeless drunk aimlessly wandering the streets. The track is taken from Dispatches From The American Fall, a 23 track mixtape chronicling a decade worth of Sole’s scathing diatribes on the economy and inevitable collapse of the empire. The mixtape, which features collaborations with Solillaquists of Sound, Lil B, Astronautalis, B. Dolan, Mac Lethal and Jared Paul, is available for free download here with an option to donate via bandcamp.

B. Dolan Publishes a Proposed List of Demands for #OCCUPYWALLSTREET

In response to the false list of #OCCUPYWALLSTREET demands that recently circulated the internet and was latched onto by Fox News and others, rapper/activist B. Dolan has published “A Proposed List of Demands” for #OCCUPYWALLSTREET” via knowmore.org, a website focused on corporate control that he co-founded in 2005.

No stranger to run-ins with corporations, Dolan has been at the neck of the corporate world on and off stage for close to a decade. Most notable are his encounters with American Apparel CEO Dov Charney and the publishing of this extensive report on the company (resulting in Dolan testifying against Charney in his sexual harassment case), and songs like “R.S.V.P.” and “50 Ways to Bleed Your Customer” in which Dolan has used his artistic output to rail against corporate power.

At this moment, with hundreds and thousands of Americans in the streets protesting Wall Street’s reckless destruction of people’s lives, environments, and futures, Dolan has presented this list in the hopes of helping crystallize and define a list of demands for a growing movement. …MORE

URB Premiere: B. Dolan – “The Hunter” (Mux Mool Remix) (MP3)

The long, strange journey of B. Dolan continues with his second installment in the House of Bees mixtape series set to drop in the very near future. Mux Mool of Ghostly International is responsible for this banger of a remix to “The Hunter,” one of the standout tracks from last year’s Fallen House, Sunken City record. As anyone who witnessed the mind expansion circus of Dolan’s recent Church of Love & Ruin tour will tell you, the man’s live act is not to be missed. Those in Europe can catch B. Dolan devouring stages throughout September alongside Strange Famous labelmates Dan Le Sac and Buddy Peace.

B. Dolan’s “Weight of the World Tour” Wrap Up + Free MP3 (Video & MP3)

Show’s over for this year, kids.

I played my first set of 2010 on January 2, alongside Sleep and Cecil Otter, and the itinerary never looked back after that. All in all the schedule said I’d play 101 shows this year. I ended up making it to 93 of them before life intervened.

This year has been an absolutely unrelenting gauntlet of work, love, loss and tragedy. It included the release of my most ambitious album yet, and the most substantial platform and success I’ve ever gained as an artist. It also included the long sickness and eventual death of my father on October 26, the exact day I was set to return from the final leg of touring. These things were happening simultaneously all year long, and needless to say I haven’t quite caught up to any of it yet.

Through much of it though, the only place I found peace was during the minutes I shared on stage with you all every night. It’s corny to say ‘all of the shows were special,’ but all of the shows were special this year. To thank you for that, here’s a tune on the house.
