The new Musiq Soulchild tune gets turned up every time it comes on the radio, can’t explain it, just know it happens. Take a listen and maybe it will happen to you too. . .
The official video (below) just went up today, I happen to be the 311th viewer, lets see if this tune takes off or not.
Girl I can tell you everything, you can ask me anything
Wow, this post is something I have thought about doing for many years and only today do I actually get to scratch it off my to do list!
Rocketship Arnold was a mid 90′s Chicago punk band featuring Bryan Welch on vocals, Neil J Young on guitar, Mike Andersen on bass, Alan Tarkowski on guitar, Ben Kane on drums, Jim Darukhanavala on sax and Brandon Murphy on trumpet. This 7″ was recorded at Attica Studios with Chuck Uchida behind the glass and released on Watching Records. There was a small run of clear vinyl and a larger run with the traditional black.
This is an ode to an era prior to me knowing what the funk was all about. Ahh, to be young and dumb again!
You can check the youtube videos below or download the mp3′s here.
I unfortunately don’t have a copy of the first EP with “Jump” on it! If you do have a copy please let a brotha know, I want it!!!!
Enjoy!
The first time I met ADaD was in Mike Ryan’s van outside of the Hothouse as they were working out their set list with Kenny Keys about to perform as Eulorhythmics. That encounter led to Mike, Kenny and myself having a few sessions under the name MR MAKK, short lived but yet a cool experience. This past New Years we brought ADaD into the mix with The Jordan Years; the Elbo Room will never be the same.
Here’s the latest video from PROH MIC ft. ADaD called “Life” (All Natural, Inc.). Now keep in mind ADaD not only spits some real life shit but also directed and edited this vid, I tip my hat.
Here’s the first video off of THE ILL & THE RESTLESS dropping 12/3/10, be sure to check out the release party at DARKROOM on Friday Dec 3, 2010. I will be there and it’s my birthday weekend so buy me a drink eh?
Millennium Park was beautiful that day, not too crowded and cold as it can get in November. Towards the end there is a cluster of SIU girls who saw us filming and “had to be in a hip hop video”, so there you have it.
Otherwise had the pleasure of doing some of the filming for this video and all of the editing. It might not be the prettiest vid out there but it cost us ZERO dollars to make, well there was that 30 pack of cheap domestic to get through editing. . . Flip Cam HD, Powerbook Laptop Camera, & Final Cut Express… DIY BABY!!!
Be sure to check out Illy and Wes at Darkroom though, if you don’t an angel loses its wings.

What you waiting for? The Time is Now!
Here’s the third installment off the Ill and the Restless album dropping Dec 3rd. This tune features the Jordan Years Michael Cole on keys, party dude Thomas Bligh on percussion and songstress Isis Rose on the hook. Great stuff as always coming out of Illy and Wes. Keep up the good work Gent$!!
The Time Is Now feat. Isis Rose by Wes Restless
Super excited about The Congregation’s new EP “Not For Sleeping” to drop early December, here’s the first single “He’s Gone”. Full disclosure here, I recorded this EP and really like these guys so am biased, there ya have it. . .
Enjoy and be sure to check out the Not For Sleeping release party at Reggie’s December 11th, also on the bill Chicago’s own France Jean-Baptiste and Ohio’s Winslow.
The second single from the new album from Ill Legit & Wes Restless called “The Ill & The Restless” drops next month, these tunes are sounding real nice, better make the Release Party @ Darkroom (12/3)!
Due to my future political aspirations I don’t approve of the subject matter of course, but it still has a nice melody. . . I Been Smokin’ by Wes Restless
I have the pleasure of working with these guys on the regular and it amazes me how both Illy and Wes never stop recording, ever. The amount of Busch Light that is consumed should be illegal, or maybe it is? Anyway this is their first leak off the new album entitled “The Ill & the Restless” due to be released 12/3/10, can’t wait to hear the rest!
