Range Rover Runs Over Bikers in NYC (Video)

From the Daily Mail:

Video has emerged showing the shocking moment a Range Rover driver apparently drove through a crowd of motorbikes as it fled with its family inside for fear of being attacked.

Police have revealed the bikers started to damage the vehicle after the driver, 33-year-old Alexian Lien, hit a motorcyclist.

Fearing for the safety of his wife Roslyn Ng and young child, aged five months, the SUV driver then sped off, hitting several bikers in its path.

The six-minute film shows the SUV hit another motorcyclist after it was chased by the pack of bikers.

The family are eventually brought to a standstill in Manhattan traffic and immediately bikers run to attack the vehicle, smashing the driver’s window and attempting to smash the rear door window.

The five-month-old child was in the back and Ng was in the front passenger seat.

An NYPD spokesman told MailOnline the Lien was taken to hospital and treated for lacerations to his face and body.

He said there were no other injuries reported from the incident.

No one has been arrested and police are still investigating and examining the evidence, he said.

Rick Ross On Juan Epstein

screen-shot-2013-09-30-at-2-44-03-pmRick Ross made his debut on  Juan Epstein on Hot 97.  Peter  Rosenberg had this to say about the interview below:

Arguably the most in depth Ross interview to date. Many highlights here, but my personal favorite is Ross’ story about meeting Kanye back when he “had cyphers with Yeezy before his mouth wired”. Thank you Ross! Self Made 3 in stores now!

“Krule Love” – Ta-ku

artworks-000058505399-unj8no-t500x500

“Krule Love” – Ta-ku

Ta-ku is one dope producer man… smh. He can go anywhere with it, and you can’t categorize his style . A true genre killer.

“Krule Love”, is the new track. Released as a free track (not on the upcoming #SongsToBreakUpTo (Oct. 8th)) “To keep your heartbroken till then. …Shouts to the incredible King Krule.”

It’s a top contender for being one of Ta-ku‘s dopest tracks, so I’m not mad. Doubt you will be either. Posted it below. Enjoy…

BONUS: Like I said before. Ta-ku is a dope producer. This wasn’t the first time I’d heard Ta-ku’s music, and it should be your last. Check out these other bomb track from Ta-Ku if you haven’t already heard them.

a3c-mainflyer-9_17

To Rock the Bells ticket holders and hip-hop heads world round:

At its core, A3C is a festival that celebrates the culture and art of hip-hop. We are hip-hop fans, first and foremost, and were all very saddened to see the cancellation of Rock The Bells’ East Coast tour dates in New York City and Washington, DC.  Rock The Bells has been an inspiration to A3C over the years and has a major impact on hip-hop culture.

In wake of this sad news, A3C will be honoring all DC & NYC Rock the Bells tickets to this year’s five-day hip-hop festival in Atlanta.  A3C understands the lack of big venue concerts that revere real hip-hop and knows that many fans are disappointed with the news of the Rock the Bells’ cancellation.

 We also know how much work goes into planning a hip-hop festival and are saddened for both the fans and workers behind Rock the Bells’ success.  We’re sure Chang Weisberg and Guerilla Union will be back next year and that the Rock The Bells concert series will continue to produce the biggest and best hip-hop shows on the planet.

How To Redeem Your RTB Pass for a Free A3C Passes:

1) Scan, or screen shot, an image with proof of purchase, including your legal name

2) Send image to jade@a3chiphop.com before A3C begins | Offer ends Oct 2nd Midnight

Sincerely,

A3C Hip-Hop Festival

“Eden” – Ben Khan

artworks-000058676683-jagq73-t500x500

“Eden” – Ben Khan

Ben Khan‘s music is kinda like a cross between Jai Paul and James Blake‘s style.

…I’ve posted on Khan before…. back when he first released “Drive,” …his first and only other song. Super dope track that instantly got my attention.

“Eden” is his most recent work. …and just off those 2 tracks, the man has built-up some serious hype in my head.

Both tracks are next level fire. Too dope to be passed over on any level. So I posted them below.

…MORE than eager to see what else is in store. Enjoy…

BONUS: …here’s Ben Khan’s first song, “Drive”. Posted the video as well.

…O yeah, here’s the actual video for “Eden”, which is pretty dope in itself. But I think it’s better to hear the song first.

Video: “Guest List” – D E N A

Video: “Guest List” – D E N A

I kiiiinda liked this song the first time I listened to it. But the 2nd and 3rd time I’m pretty sure I loved it.

One thing I can tell you…, It makes all the difference what kind of sound quality you hear this on. I’m about 100% sure if you listen via your phone or your computer speakers you’re not gonna like this in the slightest. …Just won’t appreciate it otherwise. It’s too “different” of sound. …But anyways, this song, and D E N A in general are dope.

d-e-n-a_300_250_80_s_c1A close comparison style wise would be M.I.A.. But D E N A has her own lane forreal.

She’s purposefully awkward and super comfortable. You can feel the awkwardness in every bit of her style and music… But she’s so comfortable with it, it makes it cool. Can’t help but be a fan. Especially the more videos of her’s you watch. You end up falling for her personality. Goofy. A little weird. But love it!

Anyways, I just posted the video for her most recent track “Guest List”. Check that out, as well as the artist highlight I did on her a while ago. …Highlights all of her best material. Strongly recommended. (click here). Enjoy…

BONUS: Here’s the video/song that D E N A pretty much blew up on (“Cash, Diamond Rings, Swimming Pools”). Although I have a few other song’s I like better, this is a great one. Check it out, and if that sells you, (click here) or the link picture below to check out the artist highlight I did on her.

Video: “Rose Quartz” – Toro Y Moi [Anything In Return]

AIR_coverI cant believe they just released a video for my favorite track on Toro Y Moi‘s [Anything In Return] album. You shoulda just seen my facial expression! lmao #sohype …you have no idea what this song, AND this album in general do for me. #purelove …Favorite album of 2013.

With all that being said, I had to post the new video for “Rose Quartz”…. which is actually more of an art exhibition than a video. But still dope, and honestly, it didn’t matter what the video looked like. I was gonna love it. Enjoy…

Get [Anything In Return] on vinyl! (click here)

BONUS: So highlighting a few songs from this album would be pointless, because the whole album is a masterpiece honestly. Tons of great videos too. If I only had one more request from the Toro Y Moi, it would be that he do a video for “Grown Up Calls”. I frickin love that song too! Check it out below if you haven’t heard it yet.
