BIG K.R.I.T – Hometown Hero

I love this track. It isn’t long, doesn’t have the most amazing lyrics, but dude’s flow, voice and beat is catchy. Plus, Krit made the beat himself.  He doesn’t mind digging in the crates, and using samples, either.  He’s from Meridian, Mississippi, and just recently (as in, “last week”) got signed to Def Jam. He dropped his recent mixtape, “Krit Wuz Here” a month or so ago. I would like to know what’s up with the artwork on that mixtape. For a southern rapper, it looks like the last thing I’d ever see as far as artwork goes.

Truth Universal – Serve And Protect

“people hate police all over the planet”

I first met Truth when he was hosting a DJ battle at the Howlin’ Wolf in New Orleans back in 2003.

He still does shows and puts it down for New Orleans to this current day. A really cool dude.

Monotonix

Seeing a Monotonix show is the garage rock equivalent of a pilgrimage to Mecca. Everyone should do it at least once in their life.

^Monotonix explained in 28 seconds.

They don’t play on stage. Their shows are 100% audience involved, and they make use of their surroundings like Jackie Chan does his action films. I once saw the lead singer jump behind a bar, scoop up some ice from an ice trough, and then he commenced to tossing ice at the audience. Good times.
