Friday The 13th: A Night with The Cool Kids & Mos def

FRIDAY THE 13th: A NIGHT WITH THE COOL KIDS and MOS DEF from Creative Control on Vimeo.

What at first look seems to be random footage of artists hanging out in a recording studio is in fact the first public glimpse at Dame Dash’s new Lower Manhattan art gallery/studio compound, called DD172. It is also the same compound Dash’s latest musical venture, the already critically acclaimed BlakRoc-Project, has been created. The Creative Control produced footage which serves as a teaser for an upcoming film project by Michael Sterling Eaton. Even if the subject of the project remains unclear, it becomes more than obvious that we will hear some real interesting music emerging from this venue in the near future as talented artists like The Cool Kids, Mos Def, Black Keys, Jay Electronica and many more seem to be quite fond of this place. The BlakRoc Project is out now! via:hypebeast

KiD CuDi Talks "Pursuit of Happiness" Video

MTV Shows

KiD CuDi & Lady Gaga-Pokerface Live @ Monster's Ball

On there first stop on the tour CuDi did not perform his set due to technical issues.

I just think this is a dope performance because Gaga & Cudi are performing the song together. I love that lady Gaga is so free and open to everything. She is extremely talented and creative. The vibe her and CuDi give is electric. This video is exciting to watch because it shows how far music has gone and makes me excited for what music will be like in the future with artist like this.

Fresh Jive: Hope is Fading Fast Tee

Freshjive’s well-researched and literature-backed social commentary continue on with the upcoming release of their “Hope is Fading Fast” t-shirt. Officially set to also usher in the new “logo-less” Freshjive, the t-shirt is a bold statement on the current (or lack therefor of) change initiated by President Barack Obama. Details of Freshjive’s own reasonings can be seen at their The World’s Got Problems column. The t-shirt will be available at select retailers at the Freshjive Reserve store in Fairfax, Los Angeles. via: Hypebeast

Current TV: Embedded With Mos Def

On this special hour-long Embedded, Mos Def takes us on an all-access seven-day tour of Japan while he performs his new album “The Ecstatic”, to packed venues in Tokyo and Osaka. During that week, he hits up the Harajuku fashion district, whoops it up at a sumo wrestling match, and gets a personal tour of the Tokyo Giants stadium from his friend and baseball phenom Mark Kroon. Then, he brilliantly ties it all together by divulging the history of great thinkers known as “ecstatics,” showing that he is clearly one of the most insightful men in Hip-Hop.

Kanye West Glow In The Dark Book

Launching a book of “Kanye-isms” earlier in the year, Kanye West returns to the book world with his latest project, entitled Glow In The Dark. Adding the title of author to his already accomplished resume, Kanye West documents the success of his Glow In The Dark tour in a hardcover book covering all facets of his life on and off stage. The book also features photography from renown video director/photographer Nabil Elderkin. A release is slated for October 20th, 2009 with a pre-order now available via Amazon.

Are you ready to glow in the dark? Crash landed alone on an unknown planet for the entirety of his Glow in the Dark set with huge space scapes behind him, Kanye West takes you on a musical and visual odyssey that no antihero has taken you on before. This deluxe volume represents another leg of that voyage, giving you a gorgeous photographic ride through West’s life, both on and offstage, as well as into the intimate technologies of his creative process with top visual artists of today. The instrumentals are tracks from his set remastered to echo John Williams’s famous score (”Jesus Walks” is Vader’s theme). In personal sketches and reference imagery, 3-D models of the holodeck-ian stage, and costume designs (including his Grace Jones–inspired outfits for opening act Rihanna), West once again expands a medium and triumphs in the artist’s epic struggle to be creative. With a CD including previously unreleased instrumentals from the show as well as an interview with tour collaborator Spike Jonze, the book is not only a memento of one of the most successful musical performances of the year, but it is also an experience all its own.
