Pink Floyd & Dead Prez-They Schools-CHEATCODE RMX #NewMusic

PinkPrez

“From Nas to Aerosmith to Johnny Cash and Nina Simone, Massachusetts producer CHEATCODE is a chemist when he breathes new life into songs you’d think couldn’t normally be joined together. Blending the Brooklyn duo Dead Prez with English rockers Pink Floyd and their classic hit, “Another Brick In the Wall (Pt.II)” his take on “They Schools” is as entertaining as much as it is introspective. As the hard hitting instrumental creeps up to a banging verse that touches on the issues associated with the present day eduction system, it’s important to note that, though the songs were recorded nearly a generation apart, the themes still are applicable to this day. Give this one a play through and remember that education is what you make it.”

The Invincibles (MURS & Whole Wheat Bread)-I-10-Official Video

Cali emcee Murs and Florida punk rock band Whole Wheat Bread are The Invincibles, presenting their six-song collaboration record, along with the music video for their track “I-10″. Murs first met the the Jacksonville punk legends on the 2003 Warped Tour. Years later they reconnected through mutual friend Travie McCoy of Gym Class Heroes. They recorded some songs for Murs’ 2008 Warner Bros. release Murs For President. Red tape kept the songs shelved, but Murs and WWB felt there was a definite vibe worth further development. In fall 2009 they proclaimed themselves the Invincibles and began recording. This EP contains 6 songs from that period. Other songs may surface. Murs recently dropped visuals for “Epic Salutations”, from his recent album Love & Rockets Vol. 1: The Transformation, produced entirely by Ski Beatz, the producer behind classic records for Jay-Z, Mos Def and more. Murs’ most recent release is Yumiko: Curse Of The Merch Girl, his album and graphic novel collaboration with Josh Blaylock. He recently curated Through The Mic, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s first-ever hip-hop concert series, and this year’s installment of his annual Paid Dues festival featured Wu-Tang Clan, Odd Future, Kendrick Lamar and many more.
