The Dirty Politicians perform their song, “Grab Your Drink” at Fishlips.
There are certain artists out that make music for the love and progress of hip-hop and music, either by what they say or do. I remember on a radio interview awhile ago the radio host asked Wordsworth (of Punch & Words and EMC), that if he had a million dollars what would he do. His answer was that he would build a studio and make music all day. Ever since I heard that I knew I would buy anything he released. Another man in the same vein is Damu The Fudgemunk who I showed you do it for the love in Washington Square with his Akai. Available now is his digital and vinyl release of Kilawatt V1 with all the beats from you guessed it Damu. Here is a video from Kilawatt V1 project called Prosper.
Found this artist named indi1288 on DeviantART that takes photos and turns them into digital art. This one caught my eye because it is of Milla Jovovich from one of my favorite movies the Fifth Element. His gallery is massive with his focus on different female entertainers.

Primus Maximus (of Digital Dust) put up this video of him using a device called a Monome. He reworks Raekwon’s “Incarcerated Scarfaces” and adds some scratching to make a chilled out version. On the YouTube version, he adds this:
Download our Digital Dust Mix made on monomes here:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php…Sampled Skull Snaps drums & El Mitchels Affair horns & Guitar
So I dug a little more to found out more about the Monome and came across this at monome.org:
each is a reconfigurable grid of backlit keypads which connects to a computer. interaction between the keys and lights is determined by the application running on the computer. there is no hard-wired functionality.
and can be used for:
live sample cutters, math simulations, drum machines, generative controllers, tonal maps, games, visualizations.
Yes I internet dig so you don’t have to. Also download that Digital Dust Mix it is nice and now go enjoy the video.

Oh Word had posted up this video for Homeboy Sandman called, “Lightning Bolt. Lightning Rod.” the other day and I knew the name sounded familiar. So I checked my music catalog and found him featured on the free PH (formerly known as Pumpkin Head) mixtape, My Era (No Skinny Jeans Allowed). With a little more digging I found the “Director’s Commentary” of the video with director Naheem Adio Kujenya adding comments to the video. One nice things to find out is that some of the extras in the video are emcees themselves.
Artist: Homeboy Sandman
Song: Lightning Bolt. Lightning Rod.
