Kenton Dunson just announced that he will be going by Dunson in the future and with it, he dropped this sick freestyle over Drake’s “Lord Knows”. All I got to say is that he killed the beat. Straight murdered it. Before to stay updated on his music and to help him regain his fans on his new Facebook fan page.

New Brother Ali?! Whaaa?!
Brother Ali has been under the rap radar for way to long, with the exception of that dope Record Store Day track he released on Rhymesayers’ vinyl last April (which no one seemed to notice sadly). While the new track seems to lack the powerful delivery and emphasis of his older tracks, it’s still dope. I’d love to see Ali make a comeback.
And, free download.

I meant to post this video the second it got released, but I don’t know really, I just didn’t. Silly, I know, because it’s pretty awesome. And what’s even better is that I was able to check out the premier of it in person.
It wasn’t some extravagant mainstream opening or anything, actually it was in a tiny little garage space in the back of boutique in downtown San Jose and it was fairly humble overall (even the songstress’ parents were there just chillin’). But hey, I’ve never been to a music video premier before and by my account this one was pretty dope.
The night opened with Vida Killz & Rey Resurrection before we were treated to the unveiling of “Gone Baby Gone,” which was projected on to the inside of the garage’s wall. The environment was pretty much a perfect match to the video’s old school aesthetic and the intro started things off with plenty of anticipation. It only got better from there, and really, the only disappointing thing was how short the video was.
But it was all good, because right after it was done, we were all treated to Anya‘s live set which she kicked off with a soulful Amy Whinehouse cover. Yeah, I can’t really think of a better way to have spent my saturday night than watching a beautiful girl sing beautiful songs.
BONUS: Vida Killz (who trades cameos with Anya in their respective videos) recently released two new videos. And Rey Res released his newest collab with San Jose’s own 80′s Babies recently as well.
