Nardwuar is single handedly taking SXSW by storm. He’s been on an absolute tear, interviewing A$AP Rocky, Action Bronson, Danny Brown, and now K. Dot. Per usual, Nardwuar leaves K. Dot’s mind boggled, wondering where he dug up such personal information. As “A” said earlier this week, Narduar is hands down the best interviewer in hip-hop and the current streak he is on at SXSW only adds to his legendary track record. 12 minutes with Nardwuar will change your life. Doot Doola Doot Doo… Doot Doo!
Who would be the most interesting Nardwuar interview?
Hip-Hop, Videos | OnCue – Kinda Late [Video]

Cuey? Action Bronson? No no, that is OnCue’s director who has done all of his videos in the past. Shifting gears on Cuey’s latest video for “Kinda Late”, off Can’t Wait, Adam plays the role of Cuey as Just Blaze makes his directorial debut, leaving Cuey with no choice other than filling the role of the pizza boy. Although the original 88-Keys produced track featured Mike Posner, the video does not, but that’s not to say it is at all a disappointment. One of the more strangely creative visual works I’ve seen in a while from and up and comer, and I have to give Just Bliggity-Blaze credit for such an peculiar, but entertaining show.

Bootleg, Dubstep | Justice – D.A.N.C.E. (CRNKN Bootleg)
Posted by Grubeats on March 23, 2012
Oh God, Grube’s posting Dubstep, hide ya’ kids, hide ya wife! Yes, I’m stepping out of my comfort zone on this one and if you think I should go back into my hip-hop shell, tell me, I won’t be offended. CRNKN, who is a native to my Granite State, is a recognizable name for the avid FNT followers as he’s been stirring some audio waves for a couple months now. On top of that, anyone who saw my post on Logic’s Justice remix of “D.A.N.C.E.” knows how much I love the beat. I’m not going to try to sound technical like I know what I’m talking about cause I don’t, but trust me on this one, this joint from CRNKR cracks.
P.S. He’s looking for a new logo so any designers out there that are up for the task, hit him up on Facebook or Twitter and check his SoundCloud here.
Hip-Hop | Azad Right – Old School

There are rapper’s and then there are students of the game. Azad Right is an honor roll student. This new track is conceptual view of Azad’s musical influences that have shaped him into the artist he is today. As you’ll hear in the song, his idols and influencers range from all genre’s of music, but Az pulls aspects of each genre and generation which have become the building blocks of his personality as an artist. There’s no question Azad has an old school sound. Very aphoristic yet authentic in his delivery. In order to have success and be respected, it’s critical you recognize the ones that paved the way. Open up your mind to Azad Right (even if he is a Lakers fan).
