Leave it to Jim Jones of all people to deliver one of the year’s most random and unexpectedly dope rap tunes. Combining the unfuckwithable Sucker MC drums, a huge Rose Royce Sample AND a guest verse from Rev Run, the production recalls the best of MF Doom’s Mm…Food-era madness, but with a club ready tempo [...]

I love the Rose Royce sample on this and wonder what strings Jimmy pulled to get Rev Run to spit on the mic. Enjoy!

Although Charlie's finding his own hygiene routine a little tedious at present, he'll take no truck from his trucks. Oh no. They're getting the treatment, whether they like it or not. Thanks to your bathtime tips we feel slightly more empowered than we did before. There was some really great advice, so much so that I intend to condense it to 140 characters for the #twitterbabytips book. (Please let...

I recently heard snatches of a hauntingly beautiful song. It reminded me of Rose Royce’s ‘Wishing on a star’ from the seventies, a song that has powerful nostalgia for me. I found out it was Duffy’s ‘Stepping Stone’. I pulled up the video and the lyrics and saw and heard Duffy for the first time. What a voice, what a song, what lyrics! Many talents all come together...
