URB Alum Deliver New Song With Apathy, Fat Tony and Evidence (Video)

Some creative minds have passed through the doors of URB on their way to bigger things over the years. Two of those artsy types are former URB editor Brandon Perkins and intern James ‘The Machine’ Shahan, the latter of whom appears on “Not Goin’ Home” with Apathy and Fat Tony, on a beat produced by Evidence. The song is part of the soundtrack to Please Use Rear Exit, an online novel written by Perkins, inspired by his years of taking the LA bus system to URB HQ day after day. The animated video was created by Perkins as well.

Hilarity ensues.

Gangrene, Vodka & Ayahausca (Review)

Gangrene

Vodka & Ayahausca

Released by Decon


Let's talk drug of choice. Hip-hop has generally gravitated toward alcohol & marijuana with the occasional foray into hallucinogenics and nose candy (simply reference Raekwon's OB4CL, pretty sure there's a few tracks where Ghost & Rae are snorting in the booth). These days hip-hop's medicine cabinet houses anything from adderall (Danny Brown eats them like TicTacs) to molly to cups of promethazine. Gangrene (Alchemist & Oh No) are here to introduce the South American alternative to absinthe, an apparently delightful little cocktail named Ayahausca.

Check Out DJ Premier’s Top 25 Albums of 2011

We might be nicely settled into 2012, but that doesn’t mean there’s not room for one more Best of 2011 list, especially when that list comes from DJ Premier. Of course, like all vinyl junkies, Preemo doesn’t actually stick to the assigned 25. How many of these Premier-approved records did you check last year?
