Soundcloud Flavour (2) - Nasrockswell

Next up from my soundcloud alumni is a singer and producer from LA called Nasrockswell, the nas in question being Nassirah Nelson. This lady has a beautiful voice but trust me she brings the heat too when it comes to producing quality hip hop. If you wanna check out what she's all about visit her soundcloud page here, or for the quick introduction here she is singing over the Mr Debiase produced - 'Voyage'.

Good Music - Wild Beasts

Another band who i saw at lovebox was Wild Beats. I've been loving this unique little band since their first album 'Limbo, Panto' which included the incredible tune 'The Devil's Crayon' amongst others, but with their second album 'Two Dancers' they have managed to go from great to sublime. It was extremely hard to pick one of their tunes over another but in the end i've gone for 'Hooting and Howling', here's the video...enjoy.

Lovebox Festival 2010 - Empire Of The Sun

Just over a week ago i found myself at Lovebox in Victoria Park, the reason for this was it being one of the only available chances to see one of my favourite bands - Empire Of The Sun.  Had a really cool day hanging with my brother Bristar, and seeing Empire rounded it off nicely.  Dyester definitely recommends Lovebox to everybody.

Soundcloud Flavour (1) - The Tranzformer

I can't tell you a great deal about this guy, except that he's from the US and makes pretty cool hip hop beats. He has a beat tape called 'Some Soul For Your Soul' which you can download here, or to hear more of his tunes visit his soundcloud page here.
Here for you to get a taster of his music is the tune 'We Say' ft. Co$$.

Top Rated MC (2) - Mos Def

From family project 'U.T.D.', to 'Blackstar' with Talib Kweli, and throughout his solo career, Mos Def has made so many top class songs it's unreal.  One of the few mc's known for his freestyling background but also able to make truly classic tunes.  Mos Def was a prominent figure of the Rawkus Records, Lyricists Lounge movement in the late nineties which produced so many influential and timeless tracks. Mos has come back to top form in the last year or so in his work with 'The Gorillaz' and his third solo LP 'The Estatic'.
Use your eyes and ears to check out these videos of Mos in action.









The video of Mos Def freestyling is from the documentary 'Freestyle: The Art of Rhyme', I would highly recommend this film to anyone who loves hip hop, it's a must see.
