Still Can't Get Enough Of Nov 4th

J@y-(Z) - History | z/s/h/a/r/e

Jigga acknowledges the significance of Nov 4th with a fresh new song. Word on the street is that Jigga, Miss Independent (of Destiny's Child), and Leona Lewis are supposed to be performing at the Obama inauguration on Jan 20th. I think Obama, like his grassroots organizing and new media campaigning can reach a little deeper in the talent pool than that.

What about Daedalus? He made the best 1 minute song while Obama was running against Hilary for the Democratic Nomination. How about Nas? And all the DJ's (from DJ Premier, to Z-Trip, Green Lantern, Noodles, King Most who threw DOWN on Obama mixes and all the artists that got down on those?? I know they may not be THE biggest names out there but reach a little deeper and like your campaign, you'll find people worth fighting for, people outside the margins who are just as important and significant. I`m not hating, I just wanna see a lot of other people get shine.

It's A New Day (Gosh Daaaam)

Prince Klassen (edit) - It's A New Day / z/s/h/a/r/e

Here's an edit from Prince Klassen that'll make you dance and sing and celebrate and bring new meaning to a soul classic. Waking up today, it truly is a new day and it's truly time to celebrate. Congrats to the people of America, congrats President-Elect Barack Obama. 

I can't wait to see the cultural explosion that's gonna come from this historic day, from art to music and everything in between. How many Obama babies will be brought into this world 9 months from yesterday (Nov 4th)? And what will these future generations be capable of? Here's a quotable:

"Rosa Parks sat so Martin Luther King could walk, Martin Luther King walked so Obama could run, Obama’s running so we all can fly."

Today, we're all flying, flying high all over the world cause "Gosh Daaaaaam / It's A NEW DAY". Put that shit on repeat.

DJ Noodles: Barack Obama “PSA (The Closing Argument)” [Mixtape] + [Video]

Another Obama mix! This one comes from DJ Noodles - he's got an important message too. Everyone in America's gotta stand up, be counted, get to the polls, vote and affect change in one of the most important times in history. Don't give up, don't let McCain supporters trick you nor persuade you at the polls, and don't let change get away from you. MAKE SURE YOU VOTE GETS COUNTED AND REGISTERED CORRECTLY as there are lots of stories about electronic voting booths changing votes from Obama to McCain. AND don't forget to understand the rules of voting in your state and county. Different rules apply in different areas.

As another great leader - Mahatma GHANDI - once said, "You must be the change you want to see in the world". BE THE CHANGE and VOTE FOR CHANGE this Tuesday November 4th. VOTE FOR OBAMA!

"We must take nothing for granted in this Election, and as we all prepare to make our generation’s voices heard, it all comes down to this Tuesday November 4th. Expect long lines at the polls, in some states it will be cold, it will be snowing, it will be raining, but we must not turn around and leave- we must wait and cast our vote for change in this historic election.

To help you get through the wait, and keep you motivated DJ Noodles has released “PSA: The Closing Argument”, a new mixtape showcasing the inspiration Barack Obama has passed on to the musicians and artists of our generation, and a Fix Your Face first, included in your download of the mixtape is a iPod Video version of the mixtape as well, so for those of you with Video ipods, not only can you rock out to the latest from DJ Noodles, but you can watch the Barack Obama PSA Mixtape Video right in you hand as you wait in line!

Don’t count on someone else to cast the votes needed, take nothing for granted and SHOW UP on Tuesday, all of our futures depend on it."

Remember - Nov 4th - Vote For Change

Jean Grae ft Blacastan - Ahead Of The Game (prod Blue Sky Black Death)

Dope! This beat is from Blue Sky Black Death which I have no information about other than it's a Baby Grande release but BSBD remixed the Jeanius album and turned it into Evil Jeanius using Jean Grae lyrics from other songs(??). This beat is sick and it's one of my favourites from that remix album.

Jeff Spec & Lo Keynote - freE Press EP

Jeff Spec laced me with his new EP produced entirely by Lokeynote. It's been a minute since I've heard new music from this highly accomplished MC and it's good to hear him on the mic once again. Featured in Urb's Next 100 alongside fellow City Planner crew mates Moka Only, Sichuan, and Ishkan this Vancity MC has been pushing real weight for over 10 years.

Two major accomplishments to his credit include signing to Day By Day - home to label mates MF Doom, MF Grimm, Count Bass D and others - as well as signing to the major: Universal Records. With a new album set to drop later this year catch up with Jeff Spec with this "freE Press EP" with guest spots from the very talented Narai and as well as the very talented Omar. Remember to support homegrown talent - always!

Dino 5 - What About 10
Bonus: Dino 5 - Theme Song (below)


Prince Paul is at it again. Legendary producer and hip hop hall of fame(r) put together this group of MCs to collectively form Dino 5. What about 10 - this is super duper classic Prince Paul. In case you can`t tell from the rappin voices DiNO 5 is made of Prince Paul, Wordsworth, Charli 2na, Ladybug Mecca (of Digable Planets), and Scratch (of The Roots).

"Prince Paul teams up with some of hip hop's most celebrated MCs to create a pre-historic, preschool musical masterpiece. Part book on tape (narrated by Grammy winning poet Ursula Rucker), part Broadway show (the story was recently opted for a cartoon series!), the CD takes kids (and parents) on a music journey that tells the story of 5 best dino friends that come together to teach key life lessons and have fun. It's Three Feet High and Rising for the next generation."

Spell it with a J not with a G. This is Kurious' very first single and here it is in full glory.

Oh wee here we go with the re-launch.

Every Friday I send out a weekly newsletter containing event updates, pics, flyers, and general happs (happenings) regarding Get Up Get Down - Fridays @ Shine. I also add in info about other hot parties around town. This has been going on for the past 5 years but, only recently, I have started to include music reviews and other related news. It's this last part that got me posting today.

Every Friday you will find the newest feature of this nu new blog: "Get Up Get Down - The Set List". You may or may not know that we run a sick club night every Friday Night (Get Up Get Down) and The Set List is just that - music reviews and vibes you will hear at the club on Friday Nights. We got 2 rooms with 2 different styles and both get slammed...hard! So let's go get it cause there's a lot more Internet to finish.

Get Up Get Down - The Set List

Jazzanova ft P h o n t e (Little Brother) - Look What You're Doing To Me

FTW this shit is hella gouda. Yo Kanye - pay attention, take a listen, auto-tune will NEVER sound like this. Eh Yo Kanye, Phonte's a better rapper than you too and clearly destroys you in the singing department. (edit: And T-Pain ditto) Kanye your beats are dope, your boundaries keep expanding, but I wanna hear more of that new Jazzanova album (edit: Of All The Things) and more of Phonte collabos - fire!

Keak Da Sneak ft San Quinn - She's Fine

Man this is on some classic Freestyle shit and it puts John Legend's "Green Light" to shame. I called for a remix of Green Light with Legend's hook minimized and Andre 3000 dominating the track which Diplo came through with, now I'm calling out (to all area crews - Lyrics Born) for a remix of this track with that same Andre verse to appear on this track. I'm thinking it'll fit nicely. Shit maybe I should just start producing...

K a n y e W e s t - H e a r t l e s s

Some more auto-tuning from the one and only. Once again unmastered and leaked. Maybe he's trying to really see how much people are feeling it? I didnt give this one a proper listen yet but it's out now (u n m a s t e r e d ) so here it is. (edit: I guess that's how much I'm feeling it)

Nina Simone - Here Comes The Sun (Francois K Remix)

Nina Simone was one of the all time greats in music. She had a voice and soul that told the story of people - people and their struggles, their victories and their defeats, their spirit and their hopes. Here Comes The Sun is a Beatles cover and beautifully remixed and rendered by the one and only legendary Francois K in one of those classic "midnight" or "quiet storm" mixes. R.I.P. Ms Simone.

DJ Green Lantern - Yes We Can (Obama Mix) hosted by Russell Simmons

The much anticipated, highly awaited Yes We Can mixtape in support of Barack Obama is finally here. After early release of "Black President" ft Nas the buzz was growing and the world was waiting for this to drop. (edit: it features a big who's who of the hip hop community) It's finally here so go get it.

The End - Go Get It
