CunninLynguists are a Hip-Hop 3 piece based out of Lexington, Kentucky/Atlanta, Georgia. Currently signed to QN5 Music, the group consists of MC's/producers Deacon the Villain, Kno, and Natti. Since their 2000 formation, The Lynguists have released 4 studio albums and 4+ mixtapes, as well as numerous remix albums [Jay-Z's Black Album] and solo projects. They have also collaborated and/or appeared alongside acts like Cee-Lo, Phonte (Little Brother), RJ-D2, Kanye, The Strokes, Pharrell, and Nappy Roots.
Album #5 (Oneirology) has a scheduled physical release date of March 22 - Available digitally now. Staple appearances on the included 15 tracks are from Big K.R.I.T., Freddie Gibbs, and songstress Anna Wise. The latter is a member of Sonnymoon and is featured on 2 cuts. 1 of the 2, "Looking Back" (Track #12) is featured above... Albeit in a sparse, impromptu acoustic [drum-tinged] version. When I first heard this cut, I instantly though of Kanye's similarly-stylized 2004 Syleena Johnson-featuring hit, "All Falls Down."

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009).

And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra

Whistler by Cellar Door Moon Crow British Rock 2-piece band Cellar Door Moon Crow mysteriously found and Followed The Witzard (@SharpCheddar856) on Twitter a few months ago. Their Facebook About section simply lists a brief, yet fitting, mission statement: "Band ~ Beards ~ Brothers Goodwin brothers Phil & Tommy . Sheffield, UK " and their accompanying Biography section contains a similar refrain: "Band ^ Beards ^ Brothers," as well as their Bandcamp page. There really isn't much else to be known about twin brothers Phil & Tom Goodwin , aside from the fact that they make infectious, down and dirty Rock "N" Roll —all entirely written, recorded, produced, and mixed in-house by Cellar Door Moon Crow (CDMC) themselves. CDMC 's Bandcamp page often tags their musical output as " British Rock , Rock, Blues Rock , two-piece band, Sheffield " and I would best liken their sound to a stylistic mix between The Black Keys , Thir
