[Music Video] The Slakadeliqs feat. Justin Nozuka...
This is pretty much the only album, besides Common’s, that I have played on repeat since end of last year. I was a major fan of Slakah’s two projects last year, Art of Fresh’s When the Night… and his solo Something Forever album and (probably unrealistically in hindsight) lobbied hard for both to make the Polaris Music Prize long list because I think the dude’s a...

[Music Video] Santigold - Big Mouth
Loved Santi’s debut album but for those who said she was too much of an M.I.A. knock-off, this new Switch and Buraka Som Sistema-produced track is not exactly going to convince them otherwise! Dig the track though? Download “Big Mouth” HERE.
