All Natural Inc. Podcast Vol. 1 (Hosted by MC Adad)
All Natural Inc. in my mind, are crucial in defining Chicago hip-hop as they have been arguably the most consistent, relevant, and original collectives this city has to offer. Today they greet us with new music from Cap D & Illmind, Tall Black Guy & The Primeridian (Darling Lure), MC Adad, Rita J and many more on the first edition of All Natual Inc. Podcasts. This show hosted by MC Adad, is a worthy portrait of the crews current roster and the new projects they will be releasing soon.

Blu Is Not ReReleasing HerFavoriteColo(u)r
Bummer. I put up a post a while back that said he was releasing a two-disc deluxe edition of his previously leaked projects, Her Favorite Colo(u)r and The GODlee Barnes LP. Unfortunately it must have been a rumor, as he tweeted (in his patented spaceless typing) Sunday night that the albums will not be re-released. "HerFavoriteColo(u)r"WillNotBeReleased ContraryToPopularBelief PleaseSpreadTheWord Bless”.
Treated.

Mic Terror: "It's In The Morning"
Leave it to Mic Terror to make a Robin Thicke song addable to my iTunes list. Sex in the morning is a great thing, and I love it. I mean, many people spend all day thinking about having sex, and when you knock it out before 8AM, the rest of your day is free to think about other stuff. S**t, I had sex this morning then did my laundry and interviewed Chromeo... It was great! Anyway, Mic Terror explains all of the benefits that come with Morning Wood. Check them out here.
props to FSD.

Tobacco and Beck: "Grape Aerosmith" Video
Strange, weird, trippy…All would accurately describe the video that highlights the tediousness and boredom of some desk jobs and how for one worker it becomes an overwhelming mental breakdown. The video lines up nicely with the single off of Tobacco’s Maniac Meat Album. As the screeching begins to fade the protagonist begins to come to his senses and as the director, Allen Cordell, puts it, “[becomes] enlightened.” Watch the video here.
