'Love Jones' - Killah Matriks (free download)

Now y'all will know I don't promote and post artists who I'm not feeling - unless I expressly give my honest opinion in a review, for example.

Killah Matriks contacted me (and a load of other bloggers who're also feeling him) with his 'Failure' track and has now followed it up with 'Love Jones' - one of those odes to Hip Hop that never really fail. If someone makes a song about loving Hip Hop then they usually do and you can usually be sure that they're not out to rape our culture.

Killah Matriks more than salutes the genre on this great track produced by Nefarious! and has made it available for you all to download:

Lupe Fiasco's Indie Band?

A couple of Lupe related things here:

First, a track from an MC named Killah Matriks, from his forthcoming mixtape 'Epic Failure': 'Failure'. Check his myspace out now.

And secondly, as legend tells, Lupe's new band: Japanese Cartoon. Thanks to SmokeYYY at thatrealish.com for the heads up on this one (it's his fault if it's false):

Lupe Fiasco has alledgedly started a band described on his myspace page as Post Punk/Alternative/Indie, which pretty much sums it up. Supposedly, if it is him, Lupe puts on a faux-British accent for his latest mad project, check out the tracks here:

Japanese Cartoon - 'Army' (or here)
Japanese Cartoon - 'Heirplanes' (or here)

Here's the denial - but it's good press eh for a bit of a rubbish band?!
