Abyss Da Dark & Panama Red - "The Reunion" (Video)
Here's the latest visuals from Abyss Da Dark and Panama Red's most recent project From My Heart With Love for the second track from the album, The Reunion. The video was directed by Geoff Dalecez. This is what the director had to say about the video, "The Reunion is a visual double entendre. It tells the relationship of a rapper and producer à la a boxer (Abyss Da Dark) and trainer (Panama Red). Zachary Ochoa -- 2x NY Junior Olympic Boxing Champ from Brooklyn -- and trainer Kelly Richardson of GYMU Boxing make appearances in the video. I used the pleasantville effect in respect to the album title, From My Heart With Love, and Panama Red." If you haven't already checked out From My Heart With Love, you can do so by downloading it here.Follow them on Twitter @AbyssDaDark and @RedontheMP and/or...

$port - "In Transit"
In Transit is a cool, little beat tape that $port released recently. Other than the one feature on Supreme Love (my favorite song) by frequent collaborator Theo Martins, "the rest is just me doing what I'm known to do; chop the mess out of records" as said by $port himself. Download h...

Childish Gambino Impromptu Show at Chandler's Steakhouse
Donglover had a day off during his IAMDONALD tour so he tweeted that he was going to perform in a steakhouse in Idaho. In this video he performs Bitch Look At Me Now followed by a freestyle and then finishes off with Not Going Back. Dude is so dope. Im going to have to do a post showcasing his pre-gambino shit when he went under the name mcDJ because he has so much material that a lot of people dont even know about but for now, enjoy.IAMDONALDTwit...

XV - "Zero Heroes"
One of my personal favorites since I discovered him a few years ago, XV, is back with his first full-length project since last year when he released Vizzy Zone. The "free album" features artists such as Kendrick Lamar, Pusha T, and more plus production from J. Cole, Just Blaze, Seven (of course), and more. Check out When We're Done, which is produced by Seven who uses an awesome Kingdom Hearts 2 sample (Sanctuary by Utada Hikaru).Download hereFollow him on Twitter @XtotheV, like him on Facebook, or check out his site http://iamxv.co...

Mckenzie Eddy – Mckenzie Eddy’s Greatest Hits
McKenzie Eddy first caught my attention by being featured on my favorite track off of Curren$y's Pilot Talk 2 (Silence). Now with her first full official release we hear her soulfully rocking over production by herself and the legendary Ski Beatz . Standouts tracks include McKenzie singing over two of the best beats from Pilot Talk 1 - Example and King Kong. As with all Ski Beatz assisted projects the production is top notch and she has a great voice which compliments each beat.Rating - 7/10Check out her site for a download linkTwit...

Jeremiah Jae
Unique. That instantly popped into my mind when I began to listen to Jeremiah Jae a couple months ago. I must have listened to $easons, his single for his latest release Rappayamatantra - EP, at least 40 times that night. I just couldn't get over this "breath of fresh air" in hip-hop that I had just stumbled on; I don't think I had been that excited for a new artist since first hearing Tyler, The Creator's Bastard/Earl Sweatshirt's EARL. I dropped everything else I was doing and quickly went around the Internet in search of everything else he's released. Hailing from Chicago, Illinois, Jeremiah is a rapper/producer on one of my favorite record...
Miracle
Hey all, for my first post on TBD I've decided to share with you an artist from my neck of the woods. Normally i have no interest in Australian hip hop but this guy is nice. Born in Ghana but raised in Sydney, Australia, Miracle is a bright young rapper/producer who brings a very fresh style of rap music to the Australian hip hop scene. The video for his track "Better Dayz" quickly spread across the internet and he has managed to gain over 70 thousand views on youtube. After recently signing with a small independent label Miracle is slated to release his project "Miracle is Iller" sometime in 2011. Ill leave you with my favorite song by Miracle...

WU LYF
So who are these masked people in the picture above you ask? Well they are WU LYF (World Unite/Lucifer Youth Foundation) a heavy pop band from Manchester, England. The band also refers to themselves as WU LF, Tu-Wang Gang, and a couple other names as well as being formerly known as Vagina Wolf. Other than that, there's not much information about them since they've taken a very mysterious approach to the music game and have not done any interviews (oh they are big fans of Wu-Tang Clan). Many have said that their mystique is simply a gimmick and they're just trying to garner attention, but after you actually listen to their music you'll understand...
Childish Gambino
Childish Gambino, also know by Donald Glover, actor, comedian, and apparently a musician. Known for his roles on the on Community, 30 Rock, and his campaign to become spider man. A musician since high school recently he has got the attention of many people including me. After being Reluctant about the actor rapper who made "hipster" music (especially since i hate drake) my homie sosa introduced me to his music i downloaded Culdesac (link below) a few days before his free ep released and i've been hooked ever since. I wouldn't compare him to anyone in Hip-Hop but he has a unique style of music, live instruments, unique delivery, and lines. LinksCuldesacFree...

H.I.S.D. - "The Weakend"
For my debut post, I decided that I'd share a largely unrecognized gem from last year by H.I.S.D.. Hueston Independent Spit District, based out of Houston, Texas, is a group consisting of four rappers by the names of Equality, LdaVoice, Savvi, and Scottie Spitten, two producers who go by E-Classic and King Midas, and Flash Gordon Parks their DJ/photographer. First off, what makes this group great is that they've managed to create their own sound, a difficult task to do nowadays, which is sort of like a blend of Little Brother and OutKast. Back to the album though, H.I.S.D. takes you on a journey from Houston to Space City, a parallel dimension,...
