Aaliyah - “If Your Girl Only Knew”

Remember the slim framed cutie who rocked gigantic Hilfiger jeans, matching haltertop and long hair that veiled half of her stunna shades before they were even stunna shades? Shorty always looked and carried herself like the flyest chick on the block, and that’s just one of the many reasons why we miss Aaliyah. Apparently the good folks over at The FADER share the same sentiment, as the beloved songstress (whose whole steez was way, waaaaaaay ahead of her time, by the way) graces Issue 54. The mag will feature commentary from friends and fans i.e. Missy & Kid Sister. Also in the issue, Lykke Li, and a feature on England’s Bassline scene. I’m writing on this sight unseen, but The FADER pretty much always delivers, so look out for it on newstands and online via itunes soon.

Elzhi feat. Royce Nickel Nine - “Motown 25” (Prod. by Black Milk)

This is one of the illest straightforward hip-hop records I’ve heard in a minute. Royce goes in like he late for curfew. Crazy.

Chromeo - “Fancy Footwork”

Sometimes the Chromeo headandtorsolesslady trademark gets to me in the objectification as outlined in sociology level 300 university course kind of way. Sometimes I think I’m reading into things too much…

It’s too late in the AM and I’m too lazy to snipe and resize hella images, but you should know new looks from Corpus are now up on their website. Word.

Too Short - “I Ain’t Trippin” (James Pants Ruff Remix)

James Pants - “We’re Through”

Remember these kicks? They were designed by Parra, same dude hooking James Pants up with fresh album/sticker art. His album is out on CD May 27th, and out digitally via itunes now.
