The mighty Talib Kweli talks career and his forthcoming album Gutter Rainbows (drops 25th January 2011) which I cannot wait to get my ears round. Enough said, I’ll leave it to the wordsmith to break it down for you

JAZ – Fire in Booth!
I dunno what to say other than this: There are but an handful of female emcess in this hip hop game I actually rate and Jaz, the lady above, is one of them. She has skills and balls in equal measure and she’s got no qualms about bringing the realness. She stepped out the booth for a minute but it gives me great pleasure to say she’s back! Show your support and spread this video far and wide, the more views she gets, the more chance she’ll get to perform on Charlie Sloth’s 1Xtra Radio show and the more chance we’ll all have of being saved from the bubble gum crap circulating at the moment. Talk with your fingers people and support real talent, don’t make me get rowdy about this!

Muldrow’s Suite for Ma Dukes
The ‘Suite For Ma Dukes’ project started back in 2007 on what would’ve been Dilla’s 33rd birthday. It was the brain child of Carlos Niño & Miguel Atwood Ferguson who decided to play tribute to Dilla, converted some of his work into contemporary chamber style music. This week fellow Stonesthrower, Georgia Anne Muldrow, has done her own remix (complete with baby on lap) adding some Mad Muldrow magic to it. Having met and interviewed Georgia I am calling her mad with love and all due respect!

All My Life
Sought after commercial director Simon Ratigan (he shot Sony ‘Foam City’ commercial amongst other) and musician Jont met in 1998 and agreed to collaborate on a creative project, 12 years later here it is. The video for Jont’s song ‘All my Life’ is made up of 100,000 still images Simon took over four days wandering through the American desert and Los Angeles, rendered into one image. An incredibly painstaking feat but a pretty spectacular outcome.
