More White Panda



The White Panda has thrown together some more catchy mash ups, just because they can. Taking the beat from Junkie XL's trippy song Stratosphere, and the vocals from Obie Trice's Got Some Teeth they create a solid sound. The other new track released from them takes a beat that I was just waiting for someone to use, Shooting Stars by Bag Raiders. With Eminem's Superman laced over top the result is worth listening to more than once.

Music time.

Not A Tribe Called Just "Quest"


As my search for new hip-hop continues I recently found my self massively impressed by this rapper named Quest. Taking influence from the obvious source of A Tribe Quest ( hence the name), this kid recently put together a legitimate mix-tape offering you old school Tribe style with new school rap/electro mash ups. His most recent effort entitled "How Thoughtful" sees this 20 year old Rappin' over every thing from J Dilla, Lykke Li, Tribe, Snoop Dogg and even demolishing Lupe's recently leaked track "What you Want". With the bonus track "Letter to a broken mans heart" Quest does what i wished Lupe did to the "What you want" beat..RAP(this is not a Lupe chirp relax). With incredible flow he shows his versatility by rapping over Lykke Li's pop/electro track "love until we bleed, adding a ridiculous element of hip-hop to this already disgusting beat.

I'ma keep Quest in my back pocket and hope he finds a dope producer that allows him to jump head first into Hip-Hop

for more Quest check out his site http://yesiamquest.com/ where the "How Thoughtful Mix-Tape" is available for free

For now heres a taste:
