The suberb Swedes, Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman coming off of their widely successful remix of Coldplay’s “Scientist” have previewed their upcoming single “Roll The Dice”. “Roll The Dice” brings to the table simply stunning synth work with a smooth piano and soft synth lead that crescendos into a break with a hard clap and pounding, alternating synth with some pitched synth overlay.

Hip-Hop | BLU & EXILE – Give Me Flowers While I Can Smell Them [Full Album Stream]
Posted by W8 on December 19, 2011
Blu is the most under-rated rapper of his time and one of the very few still left painting this language with color. Blu, if you let him will amalgamate your thoughts together for an explosion of sophisticated wisdom, a firm reminder that we haven’t lost all our lyricists just yet. Hip Hop has been consumed by senseless lyricism, candy electro beats and worst of all – generations to come have only this garbage to draw inspiration from. Artists such as Blu fly so far out from the boundaries of mainstream music, they occupy another dimension of lyricism. They remain significantly unknown because there’s not enough of us to relate to such genius, only few are privileged to know it exists. Moral of the story – it takes one to know one.
Now what should deeply astonish you is the relevancy of this video above, not only does Blu rap but he’s also a phenomenon in motion art. That video is one of his many masterpieces symbolizing his godlike patience. One of the best videos you will ever watch in this lifetime, I guarantee it.
Hip-Hop | G-Eazy – Lost In Translation
Posted by dshaq on December 19, 2011
This picture makes me LOL. Thinking about bay area rapper, G-Eazy, as Bill Murray,who went to my high school NBD, is not something that comes to mind. Enough talking about quality movies that you should see if you haven’t. G helps produce this one along with Christoph Andersson and Swiss Chriss. Like always, G goes in on the beat and delivers. The sample is taken from a Japanese song called PONPONPON which you can watch here. Follow this man on Twitter and like his page on Facebook.
