If you saw the 2011 stunner The Artist, then you remember the scene stealer known as Uggie the dog. Unfortunately, I woke today to news that Uggie had to be put down. Let's pour one out for this guy and watch some of his best clips.
Menthol split their time between Champaign-Urbana and Chicago during their heyday in the late 90's and early aughts. They were among the 'local-boys-make-good-but-then-find-out-why-major-labels-suck' set. Still one of my favorites and I think "Strange Living" is one of the best songs to come out of this area. Let this bump.
My man Blueprint has steady been on the grind for years now. And by the looks of it, it'll stay that way. I have so much respect for 'Print (and his touring partner DJ Rare Groove). Watch the hustle first hand with their video for "Persevere" (directed by GRMM).
Thundercat has some deep flavors. Glad to see him having more presence these days. Definitely deserves it. Dig this cut (video directed by Carlos Lopez Estrada) - it's Way Gone.
I don't care what kind of day you're having - this will put a smile on your face. Go.
