Two days ago, Lamin posted a track from who Rupture calls “Lil Kim 2.0” on Dutty Artz. The artistes’ “real name” is Nikki Minaj - she´s a

multiple-personality bitch… a ninja…

and the tune’s named “Beam Me Up Scotty”. Fire!

Beaming us back in time, is what Michael Villet does talking to Welton Irie (via Uncarved, of course):

I’m a person who investigate, I said “What do they know in Germany?” and they told me, your Glen Brown album. So I had to get the CD, listen to it, write lyrics, study, done all a that, until eventually, it came back eventually.

Investigators, too? Check

- The Guardian on the Maldives plans to buy new homeland in order to be able to escape raising sea levels,

- Hans Weishäuptl’s “Faces Of Evil” exhibition and

- Attorney Streets’ NYC tee plus promo mix.

Tim Turbo rocks the internet tonight, playing at Marflix’ MashUp Show. He takes over around 10 pm CET and then it’s no excuses, straight bassline in your face time.

Jamaica is having a good laugh about a woman collapsing at Half Way Tree after loving herself too much. This might give Stein´s “Real Thing” a second round of airplay.

Palms Out Remix Sunday is put on hold because of Google/IFPI/RIAA fuckery. But they´re almost through with moving to an own server.

Pow Pow keep promoting SoulForce´s Shabba hard. Current footage comes from Mamanera Summer 2008 Full Squad.

I had posted the videos to Terry Lynn´s first two singles and I pointed you to Wildlife!´s Cristle Castles remix of “Knight Crusade”, but somehow I totally forgot to check out her album. On Friday, I finally did and what can I say - it´s epic. Not only does Terry spit and tell stories like “M.I.A. in real” (Markus Staiger on rap.de), she can also sing like your favourite gospel queen. As it´s Sunday, I decided to share the final track of “Kingstonlogic 2.0” - which is Terry´s version of “Rivers of Babylon” - originally recorded by Brent Dowe and Trevor McNaughton from The Melodians and covered e.g. by The Skatalites and Sublime amongst a bus-full of others.
