That offer’s dead but pay attention…
The Madlib Medicine Show is sort of like a beat-tape version of the Red Cross, bringing “free medicine” to cities around the world: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Denver, Brooklyn and now Toronto. (Thanks, Jay.)
Madlib & J. Rocc are coming to Toronto for a show at Great Hall on Thursday the 19th. We’d give you a ticket link, but … the show just sold out. Have fun, ticket holders. We’re told there will be a few more tickets at the door.

“Feeling like Frontiersman, we grew our beards and arrived in Mactier at 7:30pm. Cold as f*ck. 4 hour drive North. Pitch black outside. Cabin smelled like pine and rosé. Dropped our bags, chose our beds, Bronze took the air mattress. Half hour till the NBA Dunk-Off. Donk was geeked. Flat screen, satellite, middle-of-nowhere. Heats on. Lee is lit. Drunk off Timbits. Blake Griffin jumps over a car. Here to shoot a music video.
Eric suggested we charge the equipment. Didn’t knock on wood. Inexcusable in a cabin. Power went out. Cold as f*ck. Pitch black inside. Cabin smelled like weed and sulfur. Dropped our plans, went to bed, Bronze froze on the air mattress. 5 hours till daylight. Rosh is lit. Left-over Timbits for breakfast. Last night Blake Griffin jumped over a car. Here to shoot a music video, with Ben to direct. A take on rap’s pioneers, we planned to wear fur. The events that followed were captured on camera; All of the Above took place. This is a true story. *No animals were harmed in the making of this video.”
- Notes to Self
Not only is this a cool-ass song but the video is beautifully shot. Don’t skip this ‘cos you’re not familiar with this group’s name. CHECK IT OUT!!!

“This is the first single off of the Free Trade Agreement originally an idea from Canadian Shadyvile dj’s representative, Dow Jones.”
I actually didn’t even know about this dropping today, I just happened to be looking for an streaming embed of the old King Reign track, “Money” featuring Saukrates and Kardinal Offishall as my homegirl, A had posted it on her brand new 546inthemorning tumblr (BTW: GO CHECK THAT OUT!) yesterday and I wanted to do a throwback post on the track as I slept on posting it when it had first come out. Hit the jump for “Money” if you missed it, it’s worth your time.
This.is.F-CKING.EPIC!!!
