Rusko – Da Cali Anthem (MP3)

Tags: ,

The new unofficial west coast anthem from Rusko features a sample of Roger Troutman’s talkbox from 2Pac’s “California Love.” Rusko is set to release his debut album O.M.G.! in May on Mad Decent/Downtown Records. This particular cut will not be featured on the album, however you can check the video for the first single “Woo Boost” after the jump. Also, if you’re in Austin for SXSW, you might be able to catch his performance sometime today at Mad Decent’s Carniville. The event is being held at the Mexican American Cultural Center, 600 River St.

The xx “Islands” on Fallon (Video)

Anyone know if McDonalds is still serving?

J. Cole @ South By South Next

So, the first ever South By South Next Showcase was definitely off the richter scale.  J. Cole (above) smashed it.  Freddie “Gangsta” Gibbs, destroyed it.  Yelawolf tore it down, and URB served fans out in Austin a real showcase  of “NEXT” generation talent.

Also must give major appreciation to the brands that supported our efforts, including Blue Microphones, Soul Rebel New York, Mindzai Printing, ComeUpKids.com, Xtrovertd Media, and last but not least, FreestyleMadness.com whose eleventh hour support enabled us to extend the time for our loaded event.

Stay tuned, media flood forthcoming…

Broken Bells @ The Troubadour 3/14 (Review)

James Mercer and Brian Burton's sold out LA show 

Creating a complete and engaging live musical experience is a tough feat.
