Mos Def’s New Album in Music Tee Format
Tags: Mos Def, music, Phil Kraft

The people at Invisible DJ and LnA have used their Music Tee to coincide with Mos Def’s new album, The Ecstatic, which released last Tuesday, and features beats by some of the biggest names in the industry including Madlib, Oh No and Dilla (RIP). This is the first time an artist has chosen to make his album available in Music Tee format. In essence, the front of the tee features the album cover, and the back has the tracklist. The hang tag, however, has an individual code that the buyer can use to download the full album.
Daily Video: Busdriver “Me-Time (With The Pulmonary Palimpsets)” (2009)
Tags: Busdriver, Daily Video, music, roki, video
Regan Farquhar , aka Busdriver ruins a wonderful little birthday party playing a 6 foot all robot toy rapping to Mozart (piano sonata n.11. in a major, rondo alla turca). I’ll admit this isn’t the best Busdriver track I’ve heard off the new album (entitled Jhelli Beam), but the video is entertaining and has some laughs. It was directed by Hiro Murai.
