WHO I AM



Wow! Old school Wiz from the 'Deal or No Deal' mixtape. My crew showed me this on the weekend. It's been bumped at least 35 times since Sunday.

MAR VARIATION 'SINGLE'



Mar's cover of Lil Waynes single as part of his Variations series, which has some very nice Blue Note inspired artwork. I do like this. But I'm pretty sure he says "Nigga" like Lil Wayne does in the original. I'm not sure if dutch Neo-Soul crooner's are allowed to say this or not, I'm not the racism police. But he does say it. Anyway, I do like this song. Boy can sing and the beats nice.

Quotable

"Polo T-shirt, Polo draws, now make me take this polo off.
Girl you can get broken off, I'll f*ck you for an hour and then smoke it all.'

THE EARL



Earl Sweatshirt - 'EARL'.

16 year old LA rapper Earl Sweatshirt is ill, he's like MF DOOM meets Lil B/Wiz Khalifa. It's good to hear some young cats keeping it lyrical and not taking themselves too seriously. They are drinking some funky concoction in this video. Crazy kids.

EARL is part of a collective known as OFWGKTA or Odd Future who seem to be churning out music at a Madlib like rate all available to download for free on their tumblr. I hope they continue to make more bugged out, hedonistic rap.

TRIMOTHY



I quite like this abstract Trim track by Dusk & Blackdown, its called 'The Bits'.
