Every week, URB.com picks 20 artists to add to our “Next 1000″ list. And being that we are the most credible and authentic voice in emergent music, we decided that its not enough to just post these artists’ music on our Next 1000 site. We needed to do more to showcase the great music and talent that invades our digital consciousness every week. So, every week, URB.com will feature on the homepage every Monday, the “Next 1000″ Artist of the Week. So if you’re tired of the retreads invading your webspace everyday, and are thirsty for something more creative, something more underground, then come back to URB.com every Friday and get hit with something FRESH.
This week’s pick is a production duo straight from the bay, Keelay & Zaire. Coasting on sweet sounds …
Parting with my sweetie was sweet sorrow. I couldn't be too upset though cuz yesterday was the best day EVER!
Got to the airport ontime via cab and left the driver a nice tip to make up for black people who don't tip. But he was still pissed off at me cuz I spilled hella egg out of my breakfast sandwhich on his back seat. (Sorry doot.)
One way to Phoenix and back to reading Kerouac. I landed and Zac from Zia Records picked me up from the airport. I got out there around 12:45pm and my in-store wasn't till 4 PM…so I had time to kill. He asked me what I wanted to do cuz he had errands to run and ish. I told him to take me to a sports bar so I …
This venue was fuckin' DOPE. It's called Rams Head (Hahaaa, I said “head.”) in downtown B-More and it still smelled new. All the staff was top notch from the sound people, to the barTENDERs to the hospitality girl, to the security all the way down to the ticket booth people. Professionals. Thank you very much.
Let me apologize to the city of B-more for anything foul I said in the last blog. Baltimore is dope. They have much flavor. I even met cool cops out there. Before soundcheck we had some time so Ant asks me if I felt like walking around exploring…Why the fuck not. We found this dope ass harbor side area with a pirate ship (complete with cannons) and there were some little dragon boats you could rent for …
Hova's back. It's been rumored but now Jay-Z has admitted it. Despite the broken heart that's just hardly mended after the disappointment of Kingdom Come, we're fucking amped. Now, ten reasons why:
1) Without the three-year build-up of his unretirement, the pressure for pretentiousness is off. 2) In every interview about Kanye West, Jay-Z continues to just gush about how much West cares about the artistry of music. He's seen the sales numbers from last week's show-down and Maybe Big Brother has learned something from Little Brother. 3) By making an interpretation of American Gangster—the film that Jay-Z has been dreaming of his entire life—and concentrating on specific scenes, Jay-Z's version of the movie should be his most focused work since Reasonable Doubt. 4) Michael Jordan. Everybody remembers when His Airness …
