The fourth annual 2K Sports Bounce Tour kicks off in Mikey Rock’s and Chuck Inglish’s hometown, Chicago, IL, on November 5, 2008. The tour’s headliners are The Cool Kids and Q-Tip (from A Tribe Called Quest)! This will be the jump off for NBA 2K9 (the video game).
The Tour will be hitting 19 cities from November to December, with special guests performances, a game lounge and free give aways. I’m excited about this tour because The Cool Kids are one of my favorite up and coming hip-hop acts and I have always wanted to see Q-Tip live.
For more information about the tour, click here. Be sure to check out “2K Pennies”, an original track produced by The Cool Kids for the soundtrack to NBA 2K9.

New video from Q-Tip for the single “Move” off of the upcoming album, The Renaissance.The video is directed by Rik Cordero who also did Nas’s “Be A N****r” Too”. The video has an old school grainy feel to it, very similar to Snoop Dogg’s video for “Sensual Seduction”, minus all the women. I definitely have to say that I’ve liked every track that I’ve heard so far from this upcoming album.

By now, you all should know I am quite a fanboy of the Glass. These dudes just know how to orchestrate a a bangin’ mixtape. And conveniently, the above flier states that the Glass will be from Berlin on a three city tour starting at Santo’s Party House. Speaking of the venue, Santo’s Party House has definitely caught my eyes with key players like Rich Medina, Q-tip, Jesse Tittsworth, Dave Nada and Stretch Armstrong
Listen to the mix below and follow this link to the zShare. And of course the back has the track listing.

The year was 1994, the artist, a fairly unknown Nas. In celebration of him releasing his 9th studio album and our collective love for him on Killahbeez.com, we decided to dedicate this Throwback Thursday to the album that kicked it all of. The album, Illmatic, is one of the most classic Hip Hop albums to have ever been released, it received 5 mics from The Source, which back in those days actually meant something.The album featured production from Large Professor, Pete Rock, Q-Tip, L.E.S and Dj Premier. The album saw three singles officially released including the one above, “The World Is Yours”. If for whatever reason you don’t have this album, do yourself a favor and cop it today and hear why everybody talks about this album as THE album. Oh and if you ain’t copped Untitled, do so now.
One.

The last few weeks we’ve posted the Smirnoff Signature Mix series. The first one was KRS-One and Dj Premier, followed up by Common and Just Blaze. Here’s the third and final part of that series. Q-Tip working with Cool & Dre on Midnight ‘08. The beat on this track is mad hard and is just banging. Have a listen for yourself below. To hear the KRS and Premier track go here and to hear the Common and Just Blaze go here. To download the tracks visit Smirnoff’s site.

Smirnoff has teamed up with three iconic MCs with three of hip-hop’s best producers to create three new interpretations of legendary hits. All this to promote three different Smirnoff Signature mix drink recipes. KRS-One will be teaming up with DJ Premier to remix “Criminal Minded ‘08″, which can be heard below and download the mp3. Common will work with Just Blaze for “The Light ‘08″ and Q-Tip will team up with production duo Cool and Dre for “Midnight ‘08″. Songs will be available for download as well as being accompanied by a video. Anybody remember those St. Ides commercials? I sure do, I remember collecting mixtapes that had these commericals. The freestyles were ill. So far I’m feeling this new “Criminal Minded ‘08″ joint. Have a listen and download if you like. After the jump, those old ass St. Ides commercials I was talkin’ about. G-yeah!
