New Cudder. [I STILL never get tired of saying that.] This is a promotional joint from Converse, of all companies. And it's dope as shit. It features vocals from Bethany Cosentino, one half of the duo Best Coast and drums from Rostam Batmanglij from Vampire Weekend. The title says enough about it being the perfect summer song but after one listen I could tell it'll be in my heavy rotation all the way through September. Well done, Converse.

Don't look now but reports have surfaced that former NBA star, and one of my all-time favorite players, Anfernee "Penny" Hardaway is attempting another comeback to the league. And if you think for two seconds, you should be able to figure out which team he's thinking about....the Miami Heat. Yea, that's the same thing I thought. It makes sense for Penny to want return to Miami to join one of the most hyped teams in NBA history in an attempt to finally get a ring. I get that. But how would this help the Heat?? The last time I saw Penny Hardaway he looked like an overweight version of Chris Tucker x Montell Jordan. Sure, he'll play for the league minimum but will he really contribute?? I actually hope so. Injuries kept him from ever becoming one of the true greats and this might give him a chance to redeem that...or maybe not. I'm just hoping this leads to some new MVPuppets x Lil Penny spots.
Today's the day. Curren$y's finally dropping his third solo album, Pilot Talk today. It's his first release on Dame Dash's newly re-released Roc-a-fella Records. I'm glad it's not a digital download this time. The album is produced solely by Ski Beatz with the exception of Roasted which was produced by Monsta and Breakfast which was co-produced by Ski and fellow Blackroc member Mos Def. Features include Snoop Dogg, Mos, Big Krit, Mikey Rocks, Jay Electronica, Nesby Phelps, Devin the Dude and Stalley. I'm coppin today, you should too. Here are a few of the videos for the album and if these are any indication of what the album is like, it should be pretty dope. Only thing is....no Wiz feature?? Oh aight.

[Note: Check out the cover my man Zan drew for it. Spitta needs to make this the alternate or somethin!]
We've known for awhile that the Greatest Player of All-Time, Michael Jordan, would be gracing the cover of the 2011 installment of the Greatest Basketball Video Game Series of all time, the 2K Series. What we didn't know, or at least I didn't know, was how dope the cover would be. I was expecting a recycled pic of his dunk from the free throw line or maybe even the infamous shrug from the Trailblazers game or shit, maybe even one of Jordan with his Hitler stache. But instead they hit us with this:
Pretty dope. Straight to the point but better than what I was expecting. And with trailers like these, I'm hype as shit.
