Stones Throw keeps some freshness coming and team with startup Drip.fm, on a subscription service. The concept seems simple enough – Give your fans an easy avenue to your label’s collection and on time, in a simple way. Not much is known about how this will come to pass, but Drip.fm appears to be on the right track:

I (@bjones21) have been spending the last few weeks here at @Social8gency putting together this show and I want everyone in LA, shit Cali and lets add Nevada and Mexico for good measure to make it out on December 29, 2011 to The FreQ Show. Its the first of hopefully many events and performance put together by Social8gency to bring that good, that SWAG to the masses.
My homie, associate, and outstanding musician Malik The FreQ and I have put together a undeniable lineup of DJ’s to get your transition into 2012 going right and to exercise a few more bad habits before those resolutions kick in.
Here are the details for those playing at home:

Yeah I support ATL music and not ashamed to say it. If you haven’t heard of Cloudeater then you’re missing out. Just a fantastic band out of the A, with a very cool ethereal vibe to their music that you can play in pretty much any situation. Support Support –> @cloudeatermusic & Cloudeater’s official.
They just dropped their second album titled Sun And Sidearm, streaming below, and I haven’t really haven’t sat down through something and enjoyed every moment of the album since this, ok well that was recent, BUT before that one it had been a long time.

Waiting on this to drop for a minute now. I alerted ya’ll to young Gambino some time ago and now on November 15th @DonaldGlover aka Childish Gambino’s debut LP, Camp via Glassnote hits the shelves and the web. However before then stream that shit below; thanks NPR!
On a funny side note I have some odd kinship with the guy. I was reading and interview with him and we didn’t grow up under the exact same circumstances but very similar. Both Georgia bred, suburbanites, black, and not representing some sort of ‘blackness’ that is expected of us, and not cowing to the repression of emotion and variety of interests that is often placed on black men. That and a buddy of mine (black) said we look similar. Odd, I need to meet this guy, but then maybe the world will collapse on itself.
At least I’ll get an autograph out of it.

New music & new album from The Legendary Roots Crew. They bring along the young and talented Big K.R.I.T. on this cut called “Make My” hopefully off the upcoming undun.
Read moreAzealia Banks is bad, and I like it. Just head to her page and peep the talented young lady’s shots. If you’re only looking for a pretty lady then you’re in the right place, but if you’re looking for a pretty lady who can actually spit; then I give you Azealia Banks.
Follow her @azealiabanks and keep up with S8 with @social8gency
