Santigold — “GO”

· Comment

Santigold has nev­er been one to mince words. The Brook­lyn-bred musi­cian turned heads with her 2008 epony­mous album and col­lab­o­ra­tions with artists such as The Beast­ie Boys, Major Laz­er and oth­ers. Here, along with the pre­miere of her new track “GO (feat. Karen O),” San­ti decodes the mean­ing of the song (which was pro­duced by Q‑Tip, Switch and San­ti her­self, along with Nick Zin­ner on gui­tar), work­ing with Karen O of The Yeah Yeah Yeahs and the con­cept of the new Amer­i­can Dream.

Bambu’s “Something” Music Video

· Comment

Caught sight of this from the home­girl Tri­cia:

In Bam’s words: “Some­thing” is a song that was released this past March, dur­ing Women’s His­to­ry Month in hopes of rais­ing aware­ness about vio­lence against women. These are the accom­pa­ny­ing visu­als, by Oishi Media, star­ring Tep Castil­lo. The Hip Hop com­mu­ni­ty rarely takes a firm stance against such issues and often times cel­e­brates such acts – “… all I heard was Pop­pa don’t hit me no more…” This song will be includ­ed on the re-release of Exact Change on the bonus disc titled, Short Changed drop­ping on April 29th.

Tell me this doesn’t hit you to the core.

Here’s the video “Some­thing” by Bam­bu.
