north carolina has so much talent. from j.cole and little brother [and all their former/affiliates, including 9th wonder, joe scudda, kaze, etc.] to anthony hamilton and ski beatz..you're wrong if you think petey pablo was the only artist to break from NC. you can even go back to nina simone and james taylor -- the point being, don't misunderestimate the carolinas.
on that note, if you haven't copped 24 Hour Karate School yet, you're missing out on some of Ski's illest production since Reasonable Doubt.
serious talk. since camp lo isn't exactly everyone's cup of herbal tea [although it should be - they're on my list of top 5 - yes 5 - rap groups of all time], and curren$y mixtape fans were slightly let down by the short & sweet pilot talk [i happened to love it], 24HKS seems to have something for everyone. note guest features:: wiz khalifa, jean grae, jay electronica, tabi bonney, cool kids, rass kass. though as an album it's not as coherent as many may have liked, the production is SUPER DUPER on point and there are some definite BANGERZ.
naturally i had way higher hopes for this video when i saw it in my head, but, ah, such is life. in any case, you can't deny the potency of this track.
as part of the campaign for the album, Ski is also teaming up with Elefante's friends at venice beach, The Ave sneaker spot, for 2 different custom pairs of custom Chuck Taylors with the ill album artwork.
i'm a nike head myself but i'm not mad at these at all. cop'em here.
in other, slightly more independent news, AOG affiliate ricky ruckus has dropped an official remix of the 50 Tyson SMASH hit single [uh-huh] [which, although still hilarious, feels slightly more wrong after learning 'Tyson is autistic =/]. anyway, check the remix - you'll feel less terrible for liking it OR hating it as political correctness won't be a factor.
happy sunday folks!
fuck jordan tower.
