De La Soul Vs A Tribe Called Quest - DJ Flash Gordon Parks Presents


From Flash:
The Native Tongues were bigger than a mere posse/crew/click or what have you. They represented afrocentricity, positivity and most important….CREATIVITY!!! The Holy Trinity was Jungle Brothers, De La Soul, & A Tribe Called Quest. The music they made in the late 80s to mid 90s help transform and restructure Hip Hop. Their influence on the culture still resonates to this day. They showed us that the music, lyrics and concepts are limitless….there is no place ur mind can’t travel.
DJ Flash Gordon Parks puts together a lovely mix highlighting both De La & Tribe’s best moments…..Enjoy!!!

Free Sol - Dont Give It Away (single/mixtape links)






If you're like me and just finished watching the latest episode of Entourage, you were probably wondering what that song was at the end credit. The song is by a five piece band from Memphis who have caught my attention with Don't Give It Away. The track starts off with a crackling beat with dark pads, erie synths and a classic southern drawl rap. The song encompasses a gangster rap feel with soulful signing and ends off with some epic drums. The music supervisor responsible for Entourage (Scott Vener) let loose this track via his blog. Free Sol are new to me, I suggest we both hit up their latest free mixtape

Dont Give It Away HERE 




Memphis hip-hop group FreeSol has hooked up with DJBooth.net to drop RockNRolla, a street album on which the live-band ensemble puts their spin on a variety of rock classics.
Hosted and presented by DJ Benzi, the 17-track project finds rapper Free, keyboardist Premo D’anger, drummer Kickman Teddy and vocalist/guitarist Elliot flipping memorable tracks by Smashing Pumpkins (“RockNRolla”), The Doors (“Before You Slip”), and many more.
