@DefSound World Premiere! ∂eƒS❍und. // young.defferson. (prt.1-3.finally ) // (Video & MP3)

Avant Garde, nee Avant-God, auteur Def Sound has graced us with a new set of aural permutations that took us a bit by surprise late last night.

Young.Defferson. (prt 1-3.finally), despite it’s interesting choice in nomenclature, is another look into the mind of the producer/musician/artist.  Def tells us that the piece is inspired by a “new lil ‘selfie’ of my inner self,” and it shows.  Indicative of his multi-dimensional nature, Def provides not only the ‘sound selfie’ which takes us through a journey through the Trap into the Nu-Soul and ending up in some inspired Trillwave but also an animation meant to texturally speak to our visual senses.  (Editor’s Note: The original had to be resized because of a display issue… hit @phil_enn on twitter for …

Kanye West – My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (Review)

Kanye West

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Released by Roc-a-Fella / Def Jam


My relationship with this man and his music has been one of love and hate. It seems that within the past couple years, my sentiments have slid further and further in the direction of the latter. It's ironic that Kanye's very (rare) artistic trait of unabashed self-expression is the very same trait that caused me to begin to lose interest in his work, not to mention respect for him as a person.

Kanye West Signs Mos Def, Consolodates Power (Video)

Kanye West has always had some of the tendencies of a great dictator—a unnerving drive for control, a freakish aptitude for sharp looking apparel. Now Yeezy (a cool El Duce nickname if you will) has expanded his power-base in hip-hop, adding Mos Def to his oft dormant G.O.O.D. Music label. Mos joins the likes of Pusha T (of Clipse), Common, Kid Cudi, GLC, John Legend and Big Sean who will kiss the ring of Kanye as he signs checks (or something like that).

All this while Kanye has been reeling in his more artsy musical musings in exchange for real hip-hop. He’s not just back to playing the game. He’s starting his own new league. The question is—not will Kanye be able …
