Artist: Stalley (Prod. Harry Fraud)
Track: Petrin Hill Peonies (WaveMix)
Album: Adrift

I know I don’t update this blog nearly as often as I should be, and I’m working on that (really, I am), but for now I figured I’d pop in with a quick mixtape recommendation. Harry Fraud finally released his Adrift mixtape this week, and its a pretty great mix of major label and independent artists over the smoke session beats Fraud is known for. Head over to DatPiff for the free download.

Just received another submission from the great people over at The Online Paralegal Program Project.

Head over to their site to check out the whole thing!

Artist: Meyhem Lauren
Track: Grown Man Palettes f/ Sean Price
Album: Respect The Fly Shit

Am I the only person who listens to new mixtapes/albums at least twice when they drop? Maybe it’s just me, but just like with movies, I feel like there’s no way you’re going to catch everything on the first spin. Either way, after several spins this morning, I can whole-heartily recommend that you go and download Meyhem’s new Respect The Fly Shit LP. It’s high quality, has great features and production — minus one appearance by Riff Raff — and comes for the low, low price of $free.99.

Go check it out.

Greek Neo-Nazi party spokesman attacks rival candidates … on live TV

Remember Greece’s Golden Dawn political party? You know, the one with the guy who channels Hitler when he speaks, and won 21 seats in recent parliamentary elections? They’re back in the headlines again after spokesman Ilias Kasidiaris assaulted candidates from the rival SYRIZA and Communist parties during a televised debate. (Jump to 1:10 in the video. It’s crazy.) A warrant has been issued for Kasidiaris, who is also scheduled to go on trial Monday for his role in a separate mugging incident. source

8-bit “Community” game might become a reality after all

Reddit user Britta-Bot has set to work recreating “Journey to the Center of Hawkthorne”, the 8-bit title featured on NBC sitcom Community’s season finale. While the title is in it’s early stages, featuring little more than a handful of maps and characters seen on the show, Britta-Bot plans to introduce health and inventory systems, new maps, and more in future releases. Community fans, this is definitely something worth checking in on from time to time. (thanks to LaughterKey for the tip) source

Rock and Q finally dropped off the visuals to one of the best tracks from LiveLoveA$AP. Here’s hoping I get another chance to see Schoolboy live during the Childish Gambino show tomorrow night. I’d gladly settle for Danny Brown as a replacement.

Nine-year-old stages a one-man anti-Westboro protest

Meet Josef Miles: While walking around the Washburn University campus with his mother, Josef noticed a group of protesters from the Westboro Baptist Church. After reading the group’s signs, Miles asked his mother if he could create his own sign. A sign featuring his thoughts on God’s worldview. With the approval of his mother, Patty Akrouche, Josef wrote “God Hates No One” on a notepad, crossed the street, and proceeded to spend a few minutes staging a protest of his own.
