KEXP Street Sounds! Dec. 30

It was the last show of the year and now we on to big things in '08.  First tho, there's one las thing I gotta do.  Nah, I don't mean write raps, I gotta run over the dopest joints uv the night!

 

Skillz- 07 Rap Up  Does Skillz be writing down everything that happens all year so he can make these joints at the end of the year?  I dunno how else he would remember everything.  He talks about Brit's pregnant sister, T-Payne killin the game, the Fif/Kanyeezy battle and much more over a bangin ass Bink beat.

 

Jay-Z f/ Lil Wayne- Hello Brooklyn Rmx  This samples Marvin Gaye on Sexual Healing.  The producer flipped it raw.  It's fun listening to them spit but it also makes ya wanna bump Marvin. 

 

Ghostface- Lipstick  The new Ghost sounds like some old Wu shit but completely revamped for '08.  Very dope I'm feelin it more than the new Wu shit I heard too.

 

Wow so many crews came thru the studio.  The major one was Kinfolk Kia Shine.  This is a dope mc who is definitely doin his thing.  He sold over 100,000 albums las year, most of them as online downloads.  He skooled us to hella game and was very down to earth...check him out.

 

Bedroom Stompers rolled thru too.  They hella cool cats and they got a cd release party crackin off this Friday at Nectar.  Hit that up!

 

Another cat who came thru was J. Steelz.  He got a new album out called Now Or Never.  He is real hungry on the mic and got alotta emotion, which is nice to hear cuz alot of cats be lackin that. 

 

Thanks for reading and remember, you can still stream the show online for two weeks at www.kexp.org.
