Homeboy Sandman, Chimera [EP] (Review)



Things just ain't the same for lyricists (and journalists). Carving out a niche in the age of endless recession, social media overdose and digital platforming is a daunting task. There are 5-headed monsters lurking at every turn, whether it be putting your art out there for mass consumption or walking to your neighborhood corner store for Skittles and Arizona Iced Tea.

Another “Safety Dance” :: Daedelus – “Fates Say” (MP3)

Maybe it’s something in the air. Or more likely the stems recently leaked. However it came to be, here’s the third version of Men Without Hats’ ’80s classic “Safety Dance” in as many months. This one comes from LA “beat” hero Daedelus as part of All City Records monthly LA 10″ series. Play it back to back against Diplo’s track with Paper Route Gangstaz and Dilla’s own “Safety Dance” cover, and we can’t decide which one is superior. How would you rate them?

J Dilla “Safety Dance” (Men Without Hats) (MP3)

Not sure what exactly is going on this summer with all the sudden attention being paid to Men Without Hats. First, Diplo sampled the group’s only major contribution to Western society on a new cut, “Stop N Go” for ‘Bama crew Paper Route Gangstaz. And now RCRDLBL has unearthed an instrumental cover of the 1982 classic by none other than the mighty J Dilla.
