GM-Coke_Addition-CDS-2011-UC


GM drops his latest track produced by Dr. Khil. These two make a great team and you are sure to see more of them in the future. C.A. originally debuted at Beatshot Music Festival back in the summer, but now you all can enjoy the recorded studio version of the song. This is the b-side of the other new track Big Booty Bounce also done by Khil. If you want that, you'll have dig for it online. In true fashion of Dusty but Digital we love to push and promote b-sides. Shout to my GCE fam on many great successes and more to come in 2012.

Sadat_X-The_Fake_Out-CDS-2011-UC

This was a great track that dropped in early Dec. I didnt get to put it on ATF4, because it dropped a week or so later. Just didn't want people to miss this attempt by Sadat. The Brand Nubian member has been working on collabs in recent years and this represents a great solo track by him. Enjoy it and throw it on a mix if you like.

ARTIST OF THE YEAR (East Coast)

Action_Bronson-Showoff_Freestyle-2011-UC


I remember checking for this cat when he only had like 100 views on his cooking videos. He's stepped it up tremendiously over the past year with his songs and style of rap. He used to be known as the cook who raps like Ghostface... Now after linking up with hip hop legend Dante Ross, Statik Selektah, and Alchemist. Him and his Smart Crew are a staple in the NYC hip hop scene. Let's also take some time to shout out his co-defendant Mayhem Lauren, for encouraging him to continue with emceeing and stepping aside to let his people shine. That's the real shit that will keep great music coming out of the most unexpected places.

ARTIST OF THE YEAR (West Coast)

Blu-Jesus_(prod. by Madlib)-2011-UC

Blu has really impressed me this year. I always loved the earlier Blu and Exile stuff because it was unlike anything you had ever heard. Real chill and mellow, but also original. Even after going on his solo, Blu has managed to hold his own and continue to grow into a great artist. He put a lot of work in this year and worked with a ton a excellent producers. He will be around for a long time for sure.

Happy New Year.

Here's the recent remix I did of Dr. Khil's Khilgore Trout Album. This is a dope collection of beats and breaks that are sure to have you dipping your head. This megaexculsive is mixed by yours truly. There isn't too much changed from the original except that the remixed the album features scratches and stabs, vocal snippits, and a totally different tracklisting, cover, and inlay. "I couldn't just do a regular remix. I had to spice it up a bit more than the norm. So now the next time someone asks you who invented the remix, say whoever the fuck you want. When they ask who perfected the remix you better shout...@UnitedCrates!

PUNCHFACE NES GAME

PUNCHFACE!!!!! You know it's the action series. This is the game that your parents wouldn't even buy for you if you begged them for it. One reason being that they didn't want to instill bad values in your mind at such a young age. The main reason is that it was never released. This is actually and album promo (I think?) for a band called 'Punchface". Dope ass name for a band, but still not the beat I ever heard. The best band name ever is still 'Bloodbath and Beyond'. It's going to take something good to knock the crown off that name.

2011 Dodge Challenger

One of the dopest American cars ever made. This shit floats and will leave a Porsche in the dust. I really need one of these. It's crazy to think how dope this would look in charcoal gray with two-tone neon green and black seats. These are customizable. Hit up Dodge for more info and specs. America is stepping it up with car production so take advantage and support you troops by buying American.


#WINNING


The newest (and best I've found) of the 'winning' tee shirts. Charlie Sheen has been going out of his mind lately and us as typical stargazers have loved every minute of it. His ex-wife Brooke has recently filed a court order of protection against the Wild Thing and took his 2 twin boys from his home where he reside with his two goddesses. This resulted in a series of ustream, tv, and media tirades that coined the term 'winning'. He also said something about tigers blood dripping from his fangs. Hence the best of both worlds with this shirt from Upper Playground.
Just yesterday the cops, with search warrant in hands showed up to Sheen's Sober Lodge to raid it. His ex-wife told police that he keeps a stash of weapons there and was obviously in fear for her life and the life of here two young boys. We can only hope this guy doesn't die too soon. We all are enjoying this new show way too much to have it canceled. #LOSING


CAN YOU READ?

Ok, I literally stumbled across this on the web (drunk off scotch) last night and had to share it. i laughed for like 10 minutes and thought that I saw this place in Clifton Park Center at one point, minus the funny spacing of letters. I'm guessing that the sign company or the guy who worked for them isn't employed there anymore.


CAP CITY SOUNDCHECK

Be sure to check out @unitedcrates and Listen Live on the Capital Coup every Friday from 10pm-12am with Lofi Lobo and the rest of the fam. WCDB has been very supportive over the years and they always sneak in a few exclusives. I may even send him a couple new tracks to play for tonight or next week. I can't decide yet which I want to drop on heads. Lofi Lobo and myself are currently planning a United Crates special edition takeover show that will highlight all the classics from the 518 music scene and break new exclusives only for that time slot.
