#KickstartThis: indy developer NOTION GAMES side-scroller SUPER UBI LAND

It's been a long time since I could honestly say I was "into" videogames. But I could definitely see myself getting excited by the resurgence of old-school joints like Notion Games' side-scroller Super Ubi Land.

#nowPlaying "Cash Rules Everything" by Playdough (official video)

Playdough dropped a new video today for his Johnny Cash inspired banger Cash Rules Everything which you can watch here...

"This for the white people. All'a my white people. The 'never heard of DeLaSoul in your life' people" -Heath McNease

I spent the last half of 2012 soaking in the Wed White and Wu mixtape Heath recorded with Playdough, and concluded from the lyrics that Heath was a basketball player, probably a point guard. From the look of his new video Skibbidy Bibbidy (f/ Heir Jordan) the single off his new Jesus Shuttlesworth Mixtape, I'm thinking he might be a shooting guard...

Misty Knight is on her way to Tennessee!

Headkrack + Money Stax = KRACKMONEY #downloadThis

Headkrack and Money Stax are both from the east coast (New York and Jersey respectively), but they both live in and rep Dallas, so I'm CLAIMIN' 'em in the black people draft or whatever. Anyways, they dropped this collabo track Standby (produced by Lexzyne), under the inevitably awesome moniker KrackMoney!

"Guns don't kill people, people do. But people can't do what a street-sweeper do..." -Bavu Blakes

Not a click-clack, but a tick tock"

#KickstartTHIS "Gumshoes 4 Hire" by Sean CHEEKS Galloway 'nem

After a few months abstaining from its crowdsourced goodness, I am back on my Kickstarter shit, and I'm fucking with animation wunderkind Sean "Cheeks" Galloway and his mates at TableTaffy, producers of the Scooby Doo-ish sleuth-com Gumshoes 4 Hire! Peep...

You had ME at @AWKWORDrap and @marQspekt...

I was fortunate to be ~~procrastinating~~ on Twitter yesterday when Awkword shared this track Before Before. I like Awkword, who always comes with thought-provoking subject matter in his music, but when I saw the track featured that dude Marq Spekt, it was a no-brainer to peep it. Good thing, too. Cause it's freaking DOPE!

"And it's only 10% in the hood with health benefits. Genocide, Jena 6, Guilty 'til we innocent..." -Black Thought

That dude Goldi Gold shared this joint Cause I'm Black (f/Black Thought) off Styles P's 2007 record Super Gangster (Extraordinary Gentleman) on Facebook today. Both Styles and Tariq go hard on this one...

Fearless Defenders Poster NowI guess Marvel finally noticed that I wasn't buying any of their books, and Fearless Defenders #1 is their way of saying they want me back... That's sweet.

PREVIEW- Eartha Kitt: Femme Fatale #1

It seems like an odd choice to make an all ages superhero comic starring the late Eartha Kitt as a masked action hero, but once I got a look at this preview of Eartha Kitt: Femme Fatale #1, and knowing her family is cool with it, I was cool with it too...
