Williams Street Records Presents: Madlib, Freddie Gibbs & Karriem Riggins

Williams Street Records Presents: Madlib, Freddie Gibbs & Karriem Riggins - "City" (Madlib Invazion)

While they've released 2 quick-strike 12" EP's together, there's always been an underlying promise of a larger Madlib & Freddie Gibbs project: "Cocaine Piñata." Even though it still has a "due later this year" loose release date, we now have a tentative guest list: Raekwon, Earl Sweatshirt, Danny Brown, Domo Genesis, Joey Bada$$, Ab-Soul, BJ The Chicago Kid, Meech (Flatbush Zombies), Casey Veggies, Mac Miller, Polyester The Saint, and G-Wiz. Adult Swim's own Williams Street Records imprint has unleashed a non-album (or possible Cocaine Piñata) track, "City" with Karriem Riggins, which they uploaded to Soundcloud earlier today, slightly ahead of it's Monday Internet-wide release.

For what it's worth, "City" also kinda duals as an unofficial Supreme Team reunion; Madlib & Karriem Riggins' long-defunct golden era Hip-Hop revival crew that's only ever put out a few stellar hard-to-find tracks! Paul McCartney's sometimes session drummer, Riggins almost effortlessly out-raps the self-proclaimed "Baby Face Killa." I'm just gonna go ahead and bet that Madlib has like 5/5 full-length Freddie Gibbs & Supreme Team LP's just sitting in a vault, collecting dust ha. "City" will be available for FREE download through Adult Swim's annual singles series come Monday, July 22nd and in a limited edition run of 500 single-press 7" vinyl records on Madlib Invazion. But for now, check out Johan Schwartz's gangster-ish 2-part short film, "Thuggin'/Shame," which could possibly continue with this onslaught of new releases.

[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). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . 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

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of
