When was the last time you went out to a Chicago nightclub and heard strictly the best hip hop music, you know, that buttery, sexy, bouncy, make -you-want-to dance hip hop?
Don’t worry, I’ll wait….
I know, great hip hop nights in Chicago are growing in scarcity, and we are committed to doing something about it.
That’s why we brought out none other than Slum Village’s DJ Dez to the Funky Buddha to play a set of nothing but hip hop classics all night, the kind of ish that all hip hop fans love.

February 7 is Dilla Day in Detroit. A celebration of the life of James Yauncey ( aka J Dilla ) is happening at the Fillmore on that date. The 3rd annual Dilla Day features performances by De La Soul and Slum Village, among others. Here's a little bit about James:
James Dewitt Yancey (February 7, 1974 – February 10, 2006), aka J Dilla or Jay Dee, was a Detroit born record producer and rapper who emerged from the mid-1990s underground hip-hop scene in Detroit, Michigan. According to NPR.org, he "was one of the music industry's most influential hip-hop artists", working with big-name acts such as A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Busta Rhymes, Erykah Badu, MF Doom, Kanye West, The Brand New Heavies, The Pharcyde and Common. Yancey died in 2006 of the blood disease thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.

For my first get pushed challenge, I was partnered with Pleun*
She has lots of nice photos that make me want to travel and I really enjoyed browsing her photos and seeing them evolve. She takes great portraits too.
Originally she challenged me to take a portrait of a child. It's true, I have no pictures of children. But, I need to wait a few days to take pictures of my friends's kids. I was worried about angering some parents. I know I wouldn't want some strange dude taking pictures of my kids.
So, she followed up with a second challange.
"Well now I know you used to work in radio, that gave me the idea for the alternative challenge: make your own cd cover for one of your favorite cd's. How's that?"
How's that?
Great!
I love music. Always have. The hardest thing was choosing an album. I had 4 choices and Decided to use "Slum Village - Fantastic Vol. 2"
I ended up with 4 photos that I thought would make a good album cover.
A Hasselblad 500cm was perfect for this!!! Square format for an automatic record/cd cover.
I wandered around listening to the album on repeat as I shot for inspiration.
My inspirations were. Hip hop, chill vibe, romance, graffiti and slums.
Each picture I paired with my favorite song of the album.

This one was my favorite shot, and my submission for the Get Pushed group.
This project was a lot of fun, and i'll definitely try it again with another album
Thanks for the great challenge Pleun*

Here's some indie pop/R&B-soul-blended dopeness for you today. Stoop Kids - "A love letter between doo-wop and hip-hop." Stoop Kids are a psychedelic jukebox. Influenced by The Talking Heads, Amy Winehouse, Daft Punk, A Tribe Called Quest, The Velvet Underground, and many more. It's a fun mixture of music, folks.
The New Orleans based group began as the brain-child of front man Griffin Dean writing, sampling, overdubbing, and producing in his dorm room. In contrast to the recordings, however, his desire to adapt the sound to a more high energy live show led to the search for a full band. The other members, though fully committed to the vision, naturally brought a diverse set of personal influences to the table. Baritone sax player, Thomas Eisenhood, brings a jazz and funk feel; the bassist, Patrick DeHoyos, supplies a nu-disco and psychedelic style; on keys and guitar, David Paternostro, contributes a progressive, experimental influence; and drummer, Joe Tontillo, provides an indie, surf pop vibe all of which seamlessly work together in a patchwork of musical stylings that is Stoop Kids.
“Stoop Kids are the Rat Pack of the rap game” – Site of Sound (LA)
With the first track, "17:35", that's exactly what we're given. Good vocal harmonizing, with a stylish hip-hop influenced first verse. The next track "me", is just a quick track with some fantastic instrumentation throughout. The sax really gets to blare here, and it's so incredibly genre-bending that even trying to describe it is difficult.
"Velvet Slide", starts with a cool base line, and solid rap flow. Then transitions in a doo-wop style hook with vocal harmonizing. And there's some pretty cool lyricism in this song.
"Tucked In" - is a really dope song with a chilled out vibe, but becomes very stylish with the sweet saxophone. Fantastic beat-break during the first verse. Very playful vocal flow on the second verse on this track.
"Padiddle" has some great vocal melody. Living in the moment life is simple. "Cup" starts with a very rhythmic and fun beat that is quickly juxtaposed with a more somber tempo-break in the instrumentation.
"Happy Birthday" immediately grabs your attention with its blunt lyrics, with dude just straight up verbally ripping a girl apart and dissing her. It's like an anti-love song, "I'm sorry I can't love you anymore" screamed during the hook. Funny thing is, during the verses the singer has a vocal flow/cadence that reminds me of Gambino on BTI. The vocals are raw and it just ends up working within the production, and the song explodes with some great, blaring instrumentation and horns, especially towards the end.
Indeed, overall this is a fun, sonically fascinating project that carved a few new grooves into my brain with it's soundscape and creativity. Check 'em out.
