EP: Aretha by Moon Boots


Moon Boots entered the world in the mid-1980s via Cape Canaveral. After years of service as the preferred footwear of celebrity astronauts (notably Tom Hanks), Moon Boots came to life during a classified experiment aboard the International Space Station. Little is known of what actually transpired aboard the shuttle, but in short, Moon Boots became a sentient creature, equipped with reason, intuition, and groove. Before long, he grew tired of working for the space-military-industrial complex and found solace in the soothing sounds of underground disco and R&B boogie records. He knew it was only of matter of time before he was hung up like so many boots before him. He abandoned the program and used his savings to build a music-production studio in an unnamed U.S. location, where he is currently working.

This release carries the name of a well respected artist from Gospel and Soul music, Aretha. It’s a five track EP with the original track “Aretha”, a dub version of it, and remixes from ColeCo , Kid Color and Zimmer.

Video: Little Brother & You Already Knew (Live On Jimmy Fallon) by Black Star


Guess who stopped by NBC's Late Night With Jimmy Fallon last night? Mos Def Yasiin Bey and Talib Kweli performing "Little Brother" as Black Star along with a little support from The Roots. "Fulfillment of a dream" is what Questlove tweeted right after performing the J-Dilla produced track.

Black Star also performed "You Already Knew" which is kinda new and is a cut off the duo's mixtape called Aretha, the Aretha Franklin tribute. Good things happening to the duo, 2012 looking up for classic hip-hop.

You Already New (Prod. Oh No) by Black Star


Black Star are definitely back to work and back in the business. Mos Def Yasiin Bey and Talib Kweli just dropped the Madlib production "Fix Up" yesterday via iTunes but it seems that it was not enough. So they released an additional that will be a part of their Black Star Aretha mixtape, a tribute to the great Aretha Franklin.

The cut is actually produced by Oh No, Talib Kweli's brother. Not of the usual energetic release coming from him though but really working-out and sounding good. Sultry Hip-Hop release perfect for a #BlackFriday night.
