Jordan Looney – We’re Here

My NERD-HOP family swung through the Radio DePaul studio’s last night for yet another episode of Bad Service. They played this new joint for me off Nerd-Hop, Vol.3: Side B. Today it has hit the net. Enjoy folks!

Minnesota folks! Check Looney performing at Kitty Kat Club in Dinkytown on Wednesday September 29th. Facebook event here.

Shouts to J.Loonz and Mena.

Catch it over at Fake Shore Drive too.


Lil Wayne – I’m Not A Human Being (Leaks)

A couple Weezy joints dropped over the weekend – most likely because his album I’m Not A Human Being hit iTunes today. I’m not sure what I think yet but I’m not totally disapointed it in the album. I get why they released it ($$$) but I mean why?

It’s also Wayne’s birthday. Happy Birthday Lil Wayne!


Sir Michael Rocks – S.S. ft. Latif (Video)

This is toooooo smooth.

Directed By: Ken Koller
Camera Op: Mike Carson

Fall is already here and Winter’s right around the corner. What’s the solution you ask? Watch this video, no matter the season, and zone out to long summer days as we follow Sir Michael Rocks and Latif around various landscapes and locations. Not quite and homage to ‘Summertime’, but who’s really keeping track? Stay tuned as more material and visuals are on the way.

Shouts to the good folks over at illRoots.

Bruno Mars keeps chuggin away as this year’s up and coming pop sensation. Interesting collaboration on this one…the end result is a wonderful reggae influenced pop song.

Everybody see Cudi calling out Wale the other day?

Y’all ready know who had it first – Fake Shore Drive.
