Now still in Omnaural's infantile stages, music links have pretty much been limited to mixtapes. The reason for this is mainly because I blog from work-- not only don't I have my own music available, but I also spend a lot of time reading other news sites and blogs, and so most of what I listen to anyway there are new free singles, remixes, and mixtapes. Those of you who know where I work know that my resources are limited, and so I can't proffer the more obscure of diamonds in the rough. But I really want to get this blog really rolling, so I'll be passing along good stuff I find even if it's on the front page of nearly every other in-the-loop site.
This week The Cool Kids dropped their fifth official mixtape Tacklebox. These young MCs from my very own (I say that with liberty ;) Chi-town have only one formal originally produced output to their name, 2008's popular EP, The Bake Sale, but their first LP, When Fish Ride Bicycles, is purportedly in the works. This isn't a party mix like A-Trak's recent Billboard-single-studded affair, but there are enough colors of electronic production and smooth lyrical licks to please indie and hip-hop fans alike. Plus they get extra props in my book for referencing 'talking to Samson'! So do yourself a favor and get over their silly name and check out their mixtape here.
Hope to get some reviews posted soon...
