LIL FATS PRESENTS: COAST 2 COAST MIXTAPE VOL. 84 - HOSTED BY MICKEY FACTZ

Mickey Factz has a track called "who's hotter?" that I think is just outstanding. It is on this new mixtape that was sent out to me yesterday. Apparently he has also signed to Jay-Z's Roc Nation imprint. Mickey's myspace page has another downloadable mixtape called "The Inspiration" and a pretty fresh video on there as well.

New Balance M850 BO “Life Sciences” Pack

The New Balance M850 returns for Fall and comes as part of the Life Sciences pack. I really like the durability and comfort of the M850 silhouette and this colorway is gonna be a sweet Fall addition. These sneakers feature a mix of synthetic and leather uppers with a distinctive bamboo textured leather saddle and mesh toebox/outer collar. The color pops on the mid-sole complete the form. The 850 comes in two strong colorways with matching laces that stand out of the crowd, while maintaining an overall clean look. The pack is available for pre-order from Hanon.

TRV$ & DJAM "Fix Your Face Vol 2"

Rage Against the Machine’s “Killing in the Name,” Fatman Scoop’s “Put Your Hands in the Air” and Jay-Z’s “Public Service Annoucement.” All together in one track?!?! Pretty cool.

I guess the remix got taken down and pulled from zshare. Of course it went out about 200 times before it got pulled and I've seen other posts on other blogs with the mp3 but whatever. Either that or aliens came and took just that post. We'll see. Get it fast or not at all folks!

Major Lazer "Guns Don't Kill People" Album Drops June 16

Major Lazer is set to drop "Guns Don't Kill People...Lazers Do" on the world Tuesday June 16th. Here is a little preview and some links to the label Downtown Records and a spot where you can pick up a limited edition t-shirt collabo between OBEY & MAD DECENT! I really like the Lehtmojoe remix of "hold the line" (with the dope Toto sample!!)

Download: "hold the line" lehtmojoe rmx

Major Lazer is a Jamaican commando who lost his arm in the secret Zombie War of 1984. The US military rescued him and repurposed ... experimental lazers as prosthetic limbs. Since then Major Lazer has been a hired renegade soldier for a rogue government operating in secrecy underneath the watch of M5 and the CIA. His cover is that of a dancehall night club owner from Trinidad and he enlisted the help of long-time allies and uber-producers, Diplo and Switch, to produce his first LP. His true mission is to protect the world from the dark forces of evil that live just under the surface of a civilized society. He fights vampires and various monsters, parties hard, and has a rocket powered skateboard.
As part of a plan to subdue the forces of evil with a batch of futuristic dancehall bangers, the three encamped at Tuff Gong Studios in Jamaica to record the Major Lazer record. The product of this collaboration is Guns Don’t Kill People… Lazers Do, a collection of tracks that draws from the rich dancehall tradition of Jamaica, the futuristic dance-floor-killing aesthetic of Diplo and Switch, and contributions from some of the biggest names in dancehall today. The record runs global pop culture through the filter of Major Lazer’s particular brand of 80’s-inspired digital dancehall, at once an homage to a bygone era and a look to the future of dance music.

Diplo (Philadelphia-based DJ and producer Wesley Pentz), incorporates such disparate influences as Miami Bass and Baile Funk into the high-tech ecclecticism of his productions. Known for his forward-thinking productions for MIA, Bonde Do Role and many others, and for the solo LP of cinematic, sample-based hip hop entitled Florida he recorded for the Ninja Tune imprint. Diplo is also the founder and owner of Mad Decent records, which has put out records by DJ Blaqstarr and Bonde do Role.

Switch (the pseudonym of British producer and DJ Dave Taylor) is the owner of one of the most progressive and respected underground dance music labels around, Dubsided. His work as producer is revered by critics, emulated by his fellow DJs, and sweated hard by dance floors on both sides of the Atlantic. Switch also permanently endeared himself to the bespectacled music cogniscenti with his contribution to Santigold’s critically acclaimed self-titled debut.

Guns Don’t Kill People… Lazers Do comes out on Downtown Records on June 16th, 2009.

New Balance MTG580 Gore-Tex Gradient Pack

New Balance preview an upcoming release from their Summer 2009 Collection featuring one of their more popular platforms, in the MTG580. The kicks combine the companies commitment to quality, comfort, and technical details with the implementation of a water-proof Gore-Tex liner amongst various material choices. Two gradient colorways, including a black/white and pink/yellow, look to release soon at New Balance retailers. These shoes are quite simply amazing. The gradient blasts the already dope gore-tex concept out into the stratosphere. I am gonna be tracking both colorways down. Just look at how the gradient is included on all parts of the sneaker (all the way down to the laces!!)

FSD x Timbuck2 x The Cool Kids - The Fake Shore Drive Mixtape

This mixtape is literally chock full of new and unreleased music from artists that we have been playing on Hip Hop Flavors for the last couple of years. I gotta admit that I never woulda bet on the mainstream popularity of this stuff when I first started rockin' it on the show. I guess Kanye has one more thing to gas up his ego because none of these cats would have half the exposure that they do if not for him.
