DON’T SLEEP: Kokayi “Behind The Beat” [VIDEO]

The homie Kokayi sits down with Gadget & the crew @ Digital Hustle to show heads how he gets down in the studio. If you never heard “Robots & Dinosaurs” then punch yourself in the face then cover it up with a bad makeup job and tell everyone on Monday that you either “fell” or “walked into a door”. Someone completely unrelated might get arrested for assault or even battery/domestic abuse but no matter what happens DON’T EVER MENTION ME, OKAY? Enjoy the video…

CunninLynguists are back at it again with a full length album of new material called “Oneirology” that incidentally drops tomorrow. I’ve heard the album and it’s amazing (which if you’re familiar with these cats & their back catalog is par for the course for them) and you can hear it for yourself @ UGHH or @ Cunninlynguists.com right now. “Oneirology” will be sold on every digital music marketplace worth it’s salt as well as in physical form on March 22nd, 2011. There’s a video for the acoustic version of the lead single just below. It’s really fuckin’ good! © Barry @ Championship Vinyl.
