Footage from our recent “He’s the Blogger, I’m the DJ” event that featured the likes of Tezo, Erika Kayne, and Machine Gun Kelly. Remember: Any artist can come have their music played/heard! Just bring it in on a USB drive and you’re good!

New Slum Village from their recent, and final, album “Villa Manifesto”. This track features Dilla, Posdnuos from De La Soul, and even some Phife Dawg at the end. What else do you really need to know? Hit play.

Pun intended.

I’ve seen Freddie Gibbs perform twice now (SXSW and Pitchfork Fest), and both times have affirmed that this man is as real as they come. He didn’t drop a word out of any verse during his entire set- I was very impressed. The Gary, Indiana emcee has a mixtape dropping August 3rd called “Str8 Killa, No Filla” as well as an EP titled “Str8 Killa” which will be available on iTunes. This smooth track above is on that mixtape, and you can grab a free download here.

Karmaloop TV caught up with up and coming emcee Fashawn to talk music, current projects, and brands he’s feeling.

BIG BANG BIG BOOM – the new wall-painted animation by BLU

Another brilliant stop-motion street art animation by artist BLU. This is probably BLU’s best work so far in my opinion, in that this one is cyclical and has a sense of plot and message, rather than just the random transformations of his previous projects. Check it out and see for yourself.

10 Deep continues to impress with this Summer Drop. This is only a small selection of the total drop. It is available at all NEXT Locations. Below is 10 Deep’s “Killin’ Time” Skateboard video.

So, this kid thinks this seems like a good idea…

Free Energy is a great band name. So its only right that a band with such a free-spirited sound have an appropriate name. This song feels like speeding down the highway in the summertime in a convertible with all your friends. A simple and modern breed of classic rock that’s as catchy as it is fun… check it.

Public prank squad Improv Everywhere recently did a spoof-tacular (or is it spook-tacular?) parody of everyone’s favorite ghost movie. Check out the prank they conducted at the New York Public Library.
