Robin Carnage – Baalaclava
Robin Daily is a Vancouver native but took Music Business & Production Emphasis in Nashville, Ten A Key. He made it quite clear with his first project that his sound was experimental and darker than the rest of the “Trap” that has been coming out in the past year. I personally wouldn’t completely call him “Trap” but a experimental darker southern style of it. Four months ago he released his first project “optx” which had 2 great original pieces and 3 remixes including a very interesting take on Led Zeppelin’s “No Quarter” & TI & Bun B’s “Front Back“. Today we got his next project titled “Baalaclava”, it features Lil Boosie, Missy Elliot, Plies, Young Buck & 50 Cent. The thing about this EP is all the original work with still keeping that dark & eery original touch that he’s known for. Peep the new project below and make sure to hit his Facebook up.

KURT – Texas Slow (Official Video)
Kurt Rockmore, who goes by KURT professionally, is an example of an artist I’d love to hang-out with. He recently emailed Winnie Cooper with “Humble Approach” as the subject line, even though he’s opened for such acts as J.Cole, Ryan Leslie, Yo Gotti, Iggy Azeala, Joey Badass, and Action Bronson.
His latest project – entitled Red Carpet Ignorance - was written entirely by KURT and features Bun B on the track Don’t Need ‘Em. He fuses hip-hop with R/B to create something that is lyrically honest but still worthy of mainstream attention. KURT is not only a talented artist, but from what I can tell via URL, he’s a pretty stand-up dude too. For more information on KURT, check out his website for Red Carpet Ignorance.

Playlist: Free Ja Rule
Regardless of your feelings towards the Murder Inc. crew, Ja Rule and Irv Gotti incapsulated everything wrong (and seemingly perfect) about hip-hop in the early 2000′s. While Ja’s music relied more on mainstream appeal than lyrical authenticity, he knew (subconsciously or not) what would sell in a climate obsessed with TRL and commodified thug culture. He covered up rhymes about “fucking hoes” and “smoking blunts” with Ashanti’s sweet voice and Top 40 approved beats, making parents of thirteen-year-old girls a little less worried about that dreaded “parental advisory” sticker.
To celebrate Ja Rule’s brilliance, and his recent release from federal prison last week, here are a few of his greatest musical accomplishments throughout the past fourteen years. Everyone pray for a Ja Rule trap comeback.
Ja Rule ft. Ashanti – Always on Time
Ja Rule ft. Mary J. Blige - Rainy Dayz
Ja Rule ft.Vita – Put It On Me
Ja Rule ft. Chuck – Down Ass Bitch
Ja Rule ft. Christina Milian – Between Me & U

PAC DIV
SATURDAY APRIL 27TH Early Show – PAC DIV with special guests Johnny Polygon and Vancouver’s own Northwest Division. TICKETS ONLY 10$
California trio Like, Mibbs, and BeYoung came together in high school to form Pacific Division. The group has crafted an original timeless sound that is influenced by the golden era of hip hop. Pac Div’s mix tapes and releases (Pac Div EP & The Div LP) simply affirms that good music is timeless while their live show is.
Johnny Polygon hails from Oklahoma and currently resides in Los Angeles. Johnny has become a “rhyme spitting, street-ballad singing, force of nature within the music industry thanks to an immediately distinctive style and a refusal to compromise”. Sounds pretty badass if you ask me.
