songs i've been listening to recently, pt. 1

Wiz Khalifa - B.A.R.
If it wasn't for Nation, I would've probably slept on this dude forever. And really, half of Burn After Rolling is misguided decisions - whoever thought it would be a good idea for Khalifa to cover Beyoncé's "If I Was A Boy" in ironically out-of-tune Auto-Tune has a screw loose - while the other half has dude just going in. It never quite reaches the heights scaled by the opener (posted above) but it's nice to know some rappers are nice surprises these days - a cool example is on the chilled-out "Timeless".
Download Burn After Rolling from Wiz Khalifa's Myspace i.e. HERE.

podcast timmmmeeee

This was supposed to be up yesterday - my stupid shoulder decided to fuck up though, hence rest seemed more important. Anyway, FLFD is going on a vocation of sorts shortly - so while Air3 is on hiatus, there's podcasts to be done. I won't promise anything solid, as you know I've not been posting that much (damn you, uni), and I was off air this week (damn-- actually, thanks to Gallows, Trash Talk and Sharks) but this should keep you for a while. My favourite jams of the moment. Some bad mixing at points but this is my first attempt after all! Hope y'all enjoy it.

FLFD PODCAST #1!!!

tracklisting:
Untold - Stop What You're Doing (James Blake Remix)
Utada Hikaru - Devil Inside (RJD2 Remix)
Drake - Fear
Minus The Bear - Broken China

"if too many man wanna fly, i'll send them to NASA"

Oh my word - last night on Cameo's 1Xtra show, P Money and his crew (Blacks, Drifter, Roxanne, Kozzie) hosted a fucking clinic in their freestyle session. Every thirty seconds or so, screwface was definitely happening. The radio rip is courtesy of the folks over at Grime Forum - who have a treasure trove of live sets up on Mediafire by the by.

P Money, Blacks, Drifter, Kozzie, Roxanne - 1Xtra Live Session (24/11/09)

Oh, and P Money fired a couple of shots at Ghetts last night, if that kinda stuff interests you. Whateverrrr... Listen to the full show here.
EDIT: Laura at Hyperfrank touched on the Ghetts/P rivalry. 'Rivalry'.

Numerous versions of "I Can't Help It", inspired by this blog post by Mike Cruz.
