This is a new Music video/promo for the new Daedelus album “Righteous Fists of Harmony”. The title of the track Fin de siècle is French for “end of the century”.  This term works well for the song as the album  itself  is a symbol for the closing and onset of an era, as it was felt to be a period of degeneration, but at the same time a period of hope for a new beginning in electronic music endeavors. The album is certainly epic as it encompasses a wide range of genre blending and cinematic elements with a degree of utmost mastery. It is brilliant, check it.

Nas sits down with the Life.Files to discuss politics, movies, the evolution of the internet and Gurus Passing. Take a look.

This kid is only 18 and is already producing some promising work. I just wrote a post about this track “Live Free” but then accidently deleted it so all I am just going to say this is MC Mac Miller from Pittsburgh. He has got that Hippy Hip Hop sound we all love on point dude. Some how he already has an arsenal of quality music videos and mix-tapes under his belt. He even earned a straight nutfuck award for best artist under 21. The force is strong with this padowan. There is hope for the future. This particular video comes from newest work The High Life.
