Deeze Don - Everyday Struggle (Video)
Some more CGY talent... I dig the honest lyrics, beat is pretty nice too.
Kanye West - 2 Words w/ Mos Def & Freeway (Video)
Rare video recently posted up by Kanye on his blog... I've never seen it before. Apparently West's refusal to remove the credits throughout the clip led to it never getting a proper release. I dig the 70s retro feel.

Cosm's vacation pics pt. 2
It was a day of mixed emotions in Memphis. First we visited the Sun studio, the birthplace of rock n' roll. Then the civil rights museum located in the old Motel Lorraine, the site of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's assassination. And finally we made a stop at Gus's Fried Chicken. Recognized as one of the best fried chicken joints in the world. What a day...
