Mick Boogie: Adele 1988

Mick Boogie is firing on all cylinders right now (actually, now that we think about it, when the fuck wasn't he?). Fresh off the Coldplay & Jay-Z remix album Viva La Hova, Boogs is back with Adele: 1988, a hip-hop influenced reinterpretation of the Adele's most recent album 19. As Boogie puts it: "What would happen if the vocals and instruments of 19 were combined with the hip-hop sensibilities of the late 1980s, considered by many hip-hop's golden age?"

Well, the first track is a very positive sign of things to come. To come tomorrow. Adele: 1988 will be released this Wednesday, Dec. 17, for free on mickboogie.com. Must have.

Dante Ross Interviews Boogie

One of the best hip-hop journalists of the last decade, Dante Ross (Mass Appeal), sits down with Boogie, the Serbian photographer best known for his b&w work with gangs and drugs in NYC. Boogie gained commercial acclaim in 2004 after working with Nike on their W 4th basketball project, and has since published a number of award-winning books. Still, most of his work is quite dark and focuses on those less fortunate living in grave situations. He currently lives in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, but tends to shoot mostly in Bushwick and Bed-stuy.
All of Boogie's photography, commercial and otherwise, is available for viewing here.

Kanye x Justice x MGMT

Kanye's a fan of Justice. Im a fan of Kanye and Justice. They are both of course fans of mine so it's all gravy.

If you aren't hip to Justice yet, they are responsible for this high definition thuggery. Their most recent album, †, is pretty much a masterpiece.

KANYE WEST - TESTIFY (JUSTICE REMIX)

We Major 2.0

Absolutely no reason for this, other than that I am going out, and this just started shaking the apartment. Mad rare remix of the banging Cannon beat Lil Weezy originally murked. Get your Saturday night game on dunnies!

... And Justus For All 2.0

Last year Little Brother dropped the mixtape And Justus for All with Mick Boogie. When asked for my top 10 albums of 2007, this mixtape was #2, even after official releases. No joke. If you don't have the album you can download it for free here.

Well Little Brother is releasing this album again on June 3 as all meat no bones. There are no skits, no DJ drops, just tracks.

Here is one of the best Little Brother tracks period. It's off the Mick Boogie version and is on the new one too. A rare remix of Let it Go, featuring Mos Def and Talib Kweli.
