Franktown Rocks Kaboose
Mike Rowe on Discovery, Realization and Lamb Castration
This is right up my alley... Passion, Work... very insightful. The guy from Dirty Jobs, Mike Rowe, talks about something he realized after doing all those Dirty Job's episodes on the Discovery Channel. It's long but it's a good speech. It even gives you the option to download this video and save it to your computer to keep and share.

Kaboose feat. Royce Da 5'9" - "Goin' Outta Control"
Kaboose's premier video is out online at Yahoo! before it hits the "airwaves". This song features a notorious MC from Detroit, ROYCE Da 5'9' (might have seen him with Eminem). I had the privileged of scratching on this song (plus every song on the Kaboose's full length album so GO GET IT!!!) available at Qualityjunk, Amazon and iTunes... (my favorites ;)

Just got this song and I LOVE IT!!! The hook is done well, Keysha sings great on the track. Very traditional but not chessy at all. I havent listened to the new Gim album but this song is hotness. I like it cause it gives a good chill vibe without going too R&B as well as keeping that hip-hop feel without going stray of what the hood would bump.
You can listen the song on his myspace. There is also video for the song, but it doesnt do much to make the song better. The song is wayyyy fresh and they do a good job in trying to match the excellence in this song but trusss me... its not as good as the song. GET THIS SONG IN YOUR RIDE TODAY!!!

LIFE and MUSIC: Back to my roots
My first love is HIP HOP though. I grew up on commercial hip-hop. If it was on Yo MTV Raps I was watchin it. The Dirty South scene has given life back to that vibe... the feel of underground mixtapes and artists bringing new flavor... but mannnn...
When I went to Cali this last month Dj DCB and Danny at The Sanctuary (courtesy of Man of War) got me back to vibing true hip-hop... DIRTY DRUMS YA'LL
So for a moment IM BACK. I just talked to Braille at HIPHOPISMUSIC.com and I purchased almost all the releases. I owned Theory Hazit's Xtra Credit "mixtape" and by far that has been my favorite cd in a long while. Othello is sooo amazing. If I ever get that dude on my own mixtape i will be able to quit djing... lovin it all...
It feels good to hear some home grown, pad pushin, samplin HIP HOP. I have to admit I like the boom bap and gritty stuff more than the jazzy feel but the point is... IM BACK and Im ready to represent both sides of ya heard... im a marinate some more before i put out the next mixtape so stay tuned...
BOO YA!!!
