Lyrics Born is one of the hardest working people we know…he’s been at it for 23 years and released 8 albums and 7 mixtapes. He’s compiling it all in a Greatest Hits package to be released in the Spring, but he is doing a Kickstarter to gather the funds to press up some special copies. Hop over to check out the pledge packages and the new exclusive song:

Always happy when something like this hits our inbox…DJ Center & Footlong Development teamed up to release a new 7″ from Prince and Quantic band member Sly5thAve. Live dancefloor cover of Bruno Mars’ Uptown Funk. Check it.
The new video from Kendrick Lamar for “Alright” was filmed in the Bay with lots of local details. The perfect narrative for this song.
“I remember you was conflicted, misusing your influence. Sometimes I did the same. Abusing my power–full of resentment, resentment that turned into a deep depression…”
Lots of great musicians trying to get their next projects off the ground:

New video from MURS for “No More Control” from his upcoming release, Have A Nice Life (they have a pre-order at Strangemusic with a bunch of extras). Track is produced by Jesse Shatkin and features MNDR.
