ON FIRE :: A Tribe Called Red - The Virus Ft. Saul Williams, Chippewa Travellers

A Tribe Called Red - The Virus Ft. Saul Williams, Chippewa Travellers

I knew from their inception, that A Tribe Called Red were going places. They initially started as a DJ outfit blending electronic and tribal drums. The latest album "We Are The Halluci Nation" ramps up the activism and has guest appearances the likes of Yasiin Bey and Saul Williams. The Virus is a perfect backdrop to the reality of what we are seeing in North Dakota and elsewhere, where there have been a gathering of many nations and tribes to protect the sacred.

Play this loud and get angry!

Trayvon Martin Tribute :: Yasiin Bey, Dead Prez, and Mikeflo - Made You Die

Members of Dead Prez, Yasiin Bey (Mos Def), and Mikeflo have joined forces to create a tribute for the late Trayvon Martin. Made You Die is a hardcore manifesto to the judge, jury and media about the mishandling of this case. Yasiin Bey who recently suffered force feeding to prove what prisoners in Guantanamo go though, raps:

You think that they see a neighbor, they see a villain is out,
Standard answer it was random police movement,
Inconclusive confusion, the present news clips, callous bullshit,
Every talking head is clueless, man they stuck on channel stupid



No Boats

No Boats' Top Five on Friday

In no particular order, from no particular time period ... these are the tracks that frequent my playlist again and again

Public Enemy - Harder Than You Think (Featurecast Remix)

The Featurecast remix throws just a little bit faster and harder edge on the original track. This song is the feel good song of my life right now.

Major Lazer - Get Free feat Amber Coffman(of Dirty Projectors)

This one takes me back to Jamaica everytime I hear it .... big ups Major Lazer. Seriously, lately when I've been working the 12 hour long nightshift ... this tune and thoughts of my girlfriend keep me going.

Monitor 66 - Triscuits

What can I say? This one takes me back to roller skating, first loves and smooth jams ... this song's got me twisted!

Yasiin Bey (aka Mos Def) - Niggas in Poorest

This song makes me wanna start a revolution ... best thing from the one they used to call Mos Def since Black on Both Sides. Yasiin is real ... he is the real deal. His spirituality coincides with Islam and I have no problem with that. At least he is seeking a higher plane.

The tune is a take on Kanye and Jay-Z's "Niggas in Paris" from last years Watch The Throne whose materialism and bling bling trapism make it a complete dichotomy to Yasiin's version (I wonder what they think of the remake?). This is the first track of Yasiin Bey's Top 40 Underground Project which takes popular top 40 hip hop and refixes it underground styleeee ... enjoy!

Richard Davis - Self Destruct (Mario & Vidis Redo)

So smooth ... so true. Every love has a chance to self destruct ... the fire burning too bright and all that shit. The sounds here are so classic and yet fresh that I can't get enough. Holla if ya hear me ... Holla if ya feel me.

Happy friday and have a fuckin great weekend,
Noble aka No Boats
