Detroit Emcee Red Pill Gets Animated to The Beat of Alex Goose's "90's Money" at The Hand of Lions Collaborator RUFF MERCY (Mello Music Group)

Alex Goose is, to the best of my knowledge, the first (and likely last) Hip-Hop-loving Middle American producer who's been lucky enough to have worked with vastly different musicians like underground gran-wizard, prolific rapper-producer, and revered Jazz enthusiast Madlib AND hit-after-hit-penning Indie Rock mavens, Weezer; aside from maybe only Uptown Funkateer and London-based producer and taste-maker Mark Ronson, who's recorded genre-blending material with everyone from Ol' Dirty Bastard to Doo-Wop revivalist Amy Winehouse. While he recently had the opportunity to remix Freddie Gibbs & Madlib's critically-acclaimed Piñata with samples culled from Now-Again Records founder Egon's storied re-issue vaults and back catalog, Goose has previously worked alongside the likes of Hip-Hop greenhorn emcees Kevin Gates, Jake Troth, Donnis, and Detroit-bred wordsmith Red Pill. "You may recognize the next Alex Goose-produced track from Silicon Valley. Red Pill lays hard-working slacker ambition bare in one dumb, drunk punch over the energetic beat. The song is as ludicrously lavish as [Martin] Scorsese's Wolf of Wall Street," reads a Mello Music Group press release attached to Red Pill's Day Drunk EP-centric Bandcamp page.

Mello Music Group of course, referring to Red Pill & Alex Goose's Day Drunk EP-housed collaboration, "90's Money," which as of today, now had a companion vibrant DayGlo-reminiscent video directed by former The Lions "The Magnificent Dance" animators, RUFF MERCY. Red Pill seems to be referencing what he calls "that 90's money... player-nomics on 'em. I want that dot com bubble... take away my troubles with that 90's money" or alternately "that Bill Gates hustle" that will take away his troubles, which I'm assuming to be Apple and Microsoft's early 1990's Internet Boom co-monopoly and it now makes sense as to why Mike Judge's latest latest modern day tech bubble HBO comedy, Silicon Valley ultimately sought out usage "90's Money." Red Pill's 6-track Day Drunk EP is currently available for purchase in either digital or deluxe "8 Color Double Rainbow" LP formats and features production work from Paul White, Oddisee, Exile, Hir-O, and Red Pill himself, in addition to Goose's aforementioned Beastie Boys-esque "90's Money." Alex Goose is currently finishing up an instrumental beat album for Egon's Now-Again imprint; during our recently-published interview, he said that "it's more beats I've made using samples from the Now-Again catalog that have been [licensed] for commercials, film, and TV."

"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...

Jet Planes, Islands, Tigers On a Gold Leash: Lorde - "Royals" (The Weeknd Remixo)

I think it's pretty safe to say that The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye) comfortably teeters the fine line between glitched-out smooth New Age R&B and hard-hitting Hip-Hop ; while the same could arguably be said for 16-year-old New Zealand new-comer, Lorde . Her break-out single "Royals" 1/2 jokingly shouts out semi-common bravado-worthy shit like: diamonds, "gold teeth, Grey Goose ... Cadillacs, Cristal, Maybach ... jet planes, islands, [and] tigers on a gold leash." But now, the Lorde/Weeknd connection has been further solidified, as Tesfaye recently managed to conjure up and release his own "Royals" remix. My beautiful girlfriend said earlier, and I paraphrase, that it "makes her wanna dance lol and she could [likely] hear this remix in a future movie!" Following the wide-spread release of her first 2 EP's (Love Club & Tennis Court) , Universal Republic plans to unleash Lorde 's proper debut album, Pure Heroine between ...

Pop Artist & Surfer Chronicle Intriguing Ex-Pornstar In "SASHA GREY."

Seemingly made to co-exist as thought-provoking companion pieces... "LINDSAY LOHAN" directors Richard Phillips & Taylor Steele are back with their most recent Art Presentation, "SASHA GREY." The 90-second short film was shot in early May @ John Lautner Chemosphere House in Los Angeles, CA. Both striking flicks will be shown on a giant floating video screen [ "Commercial Break" ] @ Garage Center for Contemporary Culture in Venice, Italy (June 1-5). "Adult acting chops" aside, Sasha (23) seems very intelligent, captivating, free-spirited, business savvy, well-mannered, charming... and dare I say, "average." And I really think that's exactly what Phillips/Steele were trying to convey throughout the course of the piece; Grey's beauty, public draw, sheer likeability, and honesty will surely take her very far in future endeavors... Solidifying her [updated] image as a true "Pop Culture Figure." * Featured soundtra...
