YB+KS’ brand new album “The Future’s Looking Grim” is hot off the trucks. We just got it in our hands and want to give the fans the opportunity to pick it up before it leaves for the stores. For the next two weeks, we’re letting you guys buy it directly from us pre-retail on our myspace page. Pick it up now or you have to wait until June. JUNE! That’s a long ways away. I mean you could just get it digitally but ITS NOT THE SAME!
Static Out!
from TREAL:
That captured pirate hits the states…
… and he’s COLD CHILLIN’! That smiles just says, “yes, I have lived a wild fucking life, I am 19, I am a pirate, I sail ships and rob people, I have fired cannons and swashbuckled and shivered ye timbers and stabbed scurvy dogs and squeezed big wench tittays and laughed so much, much more than you Navy Gravy Under Seige fools ever will. P.S. you have just made the biggest mistake ever, I’m about to take over the U.S. prisons like pirate Miklo! Did I mention I just got a free ticket to America!? Big Mac!” This motherfucker is a modern day Jolly Roger! Straight up, if he is not in the next Pirates of the Carribean (as well as Miklo, for that matter, his career has gone nowhere since Chicano Blood), I will eat ten scorpions and buy a 900″ TV from Sever for six dollars and a coupon.
Diplo sent out a call for Dubstep remixes of Asher Roth. I answered with this one.
Even though they got our name wrong every time they mentioned it, Its a really good review.

THE MAE SHI VS YEA KID AND BIG STATIC
HLLL YEA CDEP – Mophonics / Team Shi
Though the Mae Shi released one of the strongest records of 2008, the L.A. band has garnered perhaps their most universal spotlight through a viral remix of Christian Bale’s now infamous “Are you professional?!” freakout. (“R U Professional” is worth the YouTube visit, trust me.) This quirky, outrageous sense of humor is what’s so markedly Mae Shi, and what’s spawned the band’s most recent project, a remix of last year’s HLLLYH. Teaming up with Chicago indie hip-hoppers Yea Kid + Big Static, HLLL YEA picks out elements from nearly every track of the band’s LP and fuses Mae Shi’s army of digital bleeps and vocal yelps with Yeah Kid + Big Static’s cheeky rhymes. The track that smashes all others is “Party Steady” (go figure) with its relentless “Can’t slow down” attitude. Sample fragments and beats are pieced together intelligently and seamlessly, and the record feels less like a mashup and more like a serendipitous collaboration. As a supplement to HLLLYH, it’s a delightful and completely unexpected surprise. Understanding the band’s weird exploits come with the territory of being a fan, so suit up for the ride. If nothing else, it’s completely hilarious.
