The vivid images and clever use of Felix Da Housecat’s remix of Nina Simone’s “Sinnerman” make this ad tick. What makes the phone so special though? The only drawback is the lack of a solid message.

Listening to Bossasaurus you may think honing the fine art of plunderphonics is easy. It’s not. Their latest creation, “End of Days,” is a tune as heartfelt as Diplo’s “Sarah” or RJD2′s “Smoke And Mirrors,” while sounding like a breath of fresh air. Stay tuned for their upcoming LP also titled End of Days.

Donnis, Sammy Bananas, and Nick Catchdubs
It’s time you hear about Donnis, a talented rapper from Atlanta with an undeniably smooth flow. Teaming with the production minds of Needlz, the Justice League, and Da Grindaz to name a few, this mixtape is quickly set apart from the noise. Below are my three favorites from the 10.Deep mixtape, Diary of an ATL Brave. Feel free to grab the entire album here, and keep your eyes peeled for his debut Fool’s Gold release.
I shot Nine Inch Nails on behalf of RCRD LBL at Terminal 5 during their “Wave Goodbye” tour last Tuesday. NIN rocked, the kids crowd-surfed, and memories were made. I even bumped into Kanye at the bar and learned he is also a fan.

Last Thursday, at Bowery Ballroom, I checked out N.A.S.A., Hollywood Holt, and DJ Fatlip, who warmed up the crowd, spinning the perfect blend of hip-hop and funk for the kids. Hollywood Holt pumped up the crowd with DJ and producer Million Dollar Mano, and even brought Telli Gramz, of Ninjasonik fame, on stage. Things got extra crazy when N.A.S.A. took the stage, rolling with an entourage of dancers suited up in robot and alien themed costumes. Squeak E. Clean even brought his mom on stage, what a nice guy.
