Shade Cobain: Pretty Bum (Remix) ft. Dres of Black Sheep

It's been a minute since i've posted anything from Pittsburgh producer Shade Cobain. I keep many of his tracks and remixes in constant rotation when I spin. His latest is this bangin' remix of "Pretty Bum" by DRES of the Black Sheep, that features the vocals of the lovely Jessica Mayers. This is a freebie, so jump all over it while it's available.

Last month I posted about Blacktivity (read more...), the Hip-Hop duo from the Mid-West who released their debut album at the end of last year. Now they follow up the release with their "Knuckle Sandwich" video. Peep it, get a few laughs and support! Now cue the fanfare...

Blacktivity: Ill-Tone + Shade Cobain

I can see Nas' point of mentioning and making music to say that "Hip-Hop Is Dead", however, when you have groups like Blacktivity (MC: Ill-Tone & Producer: Shade Cobain) helping to preserve the culture and sound, I would say Hip-Hop is definitely alive. I came across their music on my usual browsing of Bandcamp. After giving them a listen and liking what I heard, I had to switch from my computer speakers to my studio monitors to get the full sound. This IS a bump worthy album. Hurry up and grab it for FREE on their Bandcamp page while you can. I can imagine what they have in store for the near future. Keep up the good work guys!
