K'Naan "Wavin' Flag" (Video)
Didn't realize that there was a version with Will.I.Am and David Guetta, but K'Naan can shine sole or with others alongside him.
Game "400 Bars" (Video)
Thanks to Niz for the heads up on this one. Loved this beat when Jay Elec rode it, but the accompanying visuals to Game's rendition add a nice touch.

Nefew "One Verse" (Video)
We stumbled upon this group via 2dopeboyz a few days ago, and gave it a spin simply because we liked the cover art. In all actuality, the design was the least savvy aspect of the project. The sounds on this album are on par with groups like Stargate, Air, and Massive Attack. The accompanying visuals are a nice touch. Be sure to give these guys a try if you haven't already.

Michael Uzowuru "The Mellowest Trip" (Mixtape)
Michael Uzowuru, also referred to as “The Afro Buttefly” is a dope kid and beat maker representing Southern California. His Instrumental Mixtape “The Mellowest Trip” is a mellow, fixating ensemble of jazzy samples, crisp drums and voice over samples from a mixture of films and historical icons. Easy to listen to the mixtape draws you into it’s simplicity to then take you into another world of deep conflict, truth and conviction. This kid is definitely someone to look out for.

The Eruption Of Eyafallajokull
It has been interesting to watch the series of events surrounding the eruption of Eyafallajokull. This one volcano has halted air travel and hampered business, yet at the same time it has produced images that (for at least one split second) make us stop and think...
