While in his hometown of Chicago, Illinois, Ruby Hornet got a sit down with Lupe Fiasco. The whole interview is centered around his feelings towards his upcoming LP, Lasers. Lupe talks about initially just wanting a release from his label, to the back and forth frustrations with his album being shelved, the online petitions as well as the protest infront of Atlantic Records, The Lasers Manifesto, and more. Lasers will be in stores March 8th. Very interesting.

Blind Man See x Tonight

Here are two tracks which are taken from SoulChef’s new album, Escapism. He is a producer/composer/musician from Auckland, New Zealand. His music is a smooth and versatile blend of Hip-Hop, Jazz & Soul. His style reminds me a lot of Japanese producer, Smooth Current. Below you can hear ‘Blind Man See’, which features The 49ers, who are a Delaware based Hip-Hop group. After the jump you can find another track called ‘Tonight’, which features Philippine Hip-Hop group, Deep Foundation, and the beautiful Ashley Robles. As far as producers albums go, this is the best of 2010 for me.

Official UK Remix of Bank’s new single dropped last night. Featuring two heavyweights in the game, Sway & Giggs, I’ve gotta say that this is a massive look. They both suit the track down to a tee and definitely do themselves justice. Top quality remix.
