Music: Don’t Talk To The Cops! - Let’s Quit
“Don’t Talk To The Cops! have just finished recording tracks for their 2nd album, “Let’s Quit”, due out on Valentine’s Day 2012. The release pairs deceptively simple lyrics, themes, and break-beats with heart-attack inducing electro-punk-hop production. “Let’s Quit” showcases the talents of djblesOne and emecks along with guests OCnotes (Metal Chocolates), Rachel Ratner (Partman Parthorse/Butts), and Hollywood Holt (Chocolate Industries).” - Kristin

Out of New York, Bilal is my favorite Neo-Soul artist currently. OkayPlayer premiered an acoustic version of one of his, (and my) favorite songs off “Airtight’s Revenge”. The song is called “Think it Over”, check out what they had to say. Kristin
OkayPlayer.com—“If it’s superbowl time, that means we are creeping up on Valentine’s season–or as Bilal thinks of it “my time to shine.” To set the proper tone, the consumate soulman is sharing some special treats with music fans–which we are proud to be premiering here on okayplayer! Last summer while on a stop on his Little Ones tour, Bilal and his band of brothers visited the Tom Joyner Morning Show Red Velvet Studio and recorded live acoustic versions of four of his favorite joints off Airtight’s Revenge. These rare one-take masterpieces are the purest kind of goose-bump material, cherished by the select few who’ve had the chance to experience them–and now that intimate circle has been expanded to include you. The first rarity in the goodie bag is this sublime rendition of “Think It Over” and we’ll be premiering the other three over the next few weeks leading up to Valentine’s Day.”
Also, be sure to get your tickets to see him live at the Crocodile Cafe, in Seattle on March 23rd. We have all of the details HERE
New Music: Strong Arm Steady – Smoke On f. Dom Kennedy & Baby D (prod. Statik Selektah)
One of the most underrated groups (in my opinion), is linking up with East coast beat bully Statik Selektah for a new project titled Stereotype. This is the first single off that project. Make sure to swing over to their new website and grab their last album Arms & Hammers, which they are now offering for free.-Josh

Video: Logic - Young Sinatra III
Fairy-tale instrumentals opens Logic’s latest video, “Young Sinatra III”. But his song describes a lot less than a fairy-tale story. Speaking of issues in rough areas, saying “Life’s a Bitch and then you DIE...”, this song is the embodiment of an artist, struggling to make something beautiful, like Sinatra. Definitely a great track, and very underrated. Logic is signed to Visionary Music Group, a very small record label in Maryland which focuses on his and another artists’ work exclusively. - Kristin
Check Logic’s mixtape, “Young Sinatra” HERE.
