Free Downloads! Did I Mention Free...Yeah, I Did!

Who does not like awesomeness that comes along with the word "free"? What is better is when an artist wants you to hear their art and offer it to you free of charge. That is what I have here, ladies and gentlemen, a batch of free releases from the likes of Imani Coppola, Psalm One, Jojo, Charles Hamilton and Metallica. Also, there are plenty of samplers to choose from.

Free Indie Hip Hop Downloads

Free hip hop? Yes and from the likes of Central Services (El-P and Camu Tao of S.A. Smash's 2005 project), Educated Consumers and Psalm One, both whom were reviewed in concert here. Also, up and coming artists Childish Gambino and Mega=Kane. Definitely check them out while they are available and show the artist some support by telling friends about the downloads, leaving them e-mails and definitely coming out to the shows. It is the least you can do for something free and worth your time. The links are available after the jump.

The (Free) Sounds Of Summer

Summer is here and that means bikinis, speedos, tanning, grilling, late nights with friends and a wide variety of summer activties.
