Sunset Cities – Oh Baby (Official Video)
Straight fire coming from Sunset Cities, a new collaborative group formed over a plate of Ethiopian food in Adelaide early last year between So.Crates (Cazeaux O.S.L.O. & Skomes), Nelson Dialect, and Alnitak Kid.Order vinyl ~ http://bit.ly/ordersunsetcitiesOrder digital ~ https://sunsetcities.lnk.to/ohbaby“Oh Baby!” Call it out when you are high on love. “Oh Baby!” Cry it out when that same love gets you low. Over the soulful, trunk rattling production of Melbourne beat-maker Skomes, rapper/poets Nelson Dialect and Cazeaux O.S.L.O. weigh in on their perspective of love and loss. This track highlights the lyrical heavyweights mastery of their individual cadence and sound and simultaneously solidifies their union on record as a supergroup comfortable with the allure of boom bap basics and the challenge of great story telling. The one and only Jace XL (Hiatus Kaiyote) brings it home with a single question. “Do you love now love?” In the age of all things aimed toward instant gratification, “Oh Baby!” is both a love and anti-love anthem sent from the heart by two blues men of the new century.Directed by DAYNE EDWARDDirector of Photography: SAMUEL BROERENEdited by DAYNE EDWARDProduced by BEDROOM SUCK RECORDSExecutive Producers: JOE ALEXANDER & DAYNE EDWARDSo.Crates, Nelson Dialect and Alnitak Kid ‘Sunset Cities’ out 22/02 thru Bedroom Suck Records / Remote Control Records.If you love what you hear you can see them performing for FREE at Northside Records on the 23rd Feb with special guests 2nd Thought x Zima.

Guess Wu
Illustrated by Dan Evans, the custom version of the game is played the same as the original, with players asking questions like, “is your rapper wearing a baseball cap?,” or, “did your rapper appear on GZA’s 1999 album Beneath the Surface?” Depending on how your opponent answers your inquiries, you can slowly eliminate members until you figure out the rapper they’ve chosen.
The only real difference between the original and upgraded version is that in Guess Wu whoever can rap all of C.R.E.A.M. gets to go first—so it’s an important skill that’s strategic both in this game and in real life.

Sample This – Hip-Hop
SAMPLE THIS is the true story of how unknown music producer Michael Viner brought together the greatest studio musicians of the 1970’s to create an album that ultimately went nowhere… until the summer of 1973, when DJ Herc took the percussion breaks from that obscure album and extended them by playing them back to back. His beats became an anthem on the streets of the Bronx and ultimately the genre of Hip Hop, becoming one of the most sampled tracks in history and used by artists from Will Smith and Missy Elliott to Amy Winehouse and Jay-Z.
