The Alchemist & 9FIVE Present: Action Bronson, Roc Marciano, Oh No ... Big Twins, Chuck Inglish & Blu

The Alchemist & 9FIVE Present: Action Bronson, Roc Marciano, Oh No ... Big Twins, Chuck Inglish & Blu - "YACHT ROCK" (Side A-B)

Almost effortlessly cruisin' down the same nautical, boatshoed lane as Yacht Rock pioneers like Christopher Cross, Steely Dan, Beach Boys, and Hall & Oates, The Alchemist quietly released one long 12-minute track [EP] appropriately dubbed "YACHT ROCK (Side A-B)" late Wednesday afternoon. It's pretty much the perfect soundtrack for throwing back a few boat-side brews, which might've been partially inspired by The Alchemist's fruitful shades/readers partnership with 9FIVE Eyewear; Hypebeast eloquently describes the glasses as "9FIVE Watson frames [with] a custom black and grey pattern added to the outer portions with red leather wrapped around the temple tips. The sunglasses variant receives polarized black lenses, while the reader model features clear CR-39 lenses."

Now, while that all sounds pretty TIGHT, $150's a little steep for 2 pairs of glasses, a fancy striped box, and a RARE 7-inch record... So, The Alchemist has liberated both "Side A" and "Side B" to The Internet(s) for your listening pleasure! He even managed to wrangle up some of his closest sailing rapper friends to come in and lay down a few buttery smooth verses, fully fleshing out "YACHT ROCK:" Action Bronson, Roc Marciano, and Oh No backed by Big Twins, Chuck Inglish, and Blu. The Alchemist has produced Boom-Bap tracks for everyone from Ghostface Killah to Eminem and has seen a career re-surgence of sorts in recent years. Note-worthy 2011-12-spawned releases just might include Covert Coup, No Idols, Gangrene, and a solo album - Russian Roulette. He's currently working on additional joint albums with Durag Dynasty, Freddie Gibbs, Action Bronson, Boldy James, and Evidence, which should be expected in phases over late 2012-13.

[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
