Nicky Lars - Musique Noire I am proud to present the first video of Mc and producer, Nicky Lars and directed for the first time by Bobbi Bomdia. Its funny how things turn out. Nicky Lars sent to Bobbi and I couple of tracks and in less time than you know we were all around Paris recording a video. I was glad to come along to help out and see the creative mind of those 2 people. That made me...

Da Antidote presents... Bittersweet California...

Let me present you to my first mixtape/compilation for the blog called Bittersweet California. There is a good majority of Hip Hop and Soul tracks but what they all have in common is California. Whether the artists are from there, are talking about it or recorded their video there, California is the epicentre of the compilation. Now bare in mind that it would be literally impossible to have all...

Jean-Michel Basquiat - The Radiant Child When I was young, I had always been intrigued by Jean-Michel Basquiat. As a black artist he broke so many boundaries in a not so open art world that he can only force your respect. He was the one who created the Pop Art alongside Warhol and way before Kanye West could claim creating this art-form. He was one of those cultural icon that would not stay long...

What's Da Original? : Can't believe we've been...

A lot of hope was put into this All Star Squad that was The Firm with Nas, Foxy Brown and Az with some Dr Dre beats. But sadly, putting together major players don’t always make a great team and I am not even thinking of the Miami Heat right now. Did egos took over? Was it the wrong timing to get a post Death Row Dre as producer? The album didn’t deliver but in the middle of these...

Justin Timberlake, Jimmy Fallon & The Roots - Through a history of Hip Hop Now to conclude on the Jimmy Fallon & The Roots aparté, here comes this hilarious video where J.Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon go back in the hands of time and recreate in a funny way some of the Hip Hop classics. When I heard of it I was perplex about the possible result. But after viewing it you wish you were there...

Goodie Mobb & The Roots - Soul Food live @Jimmy Fallon Show Before “F**K You” and Gnarls Barkley there was Goodie Mobb. With Outkast, they change the face of the rap game bringing their southern flavour and putting Atlanta on the map. How good was it to see them reunited on the Jimmy Fallon Show to perform with The Roots their classic Soul Food track from their debut album. You...

Ghostface, Raheem Devaughn & The Roots - Baby live @Jimmy Fallon Show I have not been a massive fan of the latest offering from Ghosface, Ghostdini The Wizard Of Poetry and its lead single Baby which is fuelled with Auto-Tune. But once again The Roots managed to transform the song into greatness. Ghostface, as usual, delivers his storytelling like no one. And what a blessing for our ears that...

The Roots - How I Got Over live @Jimmy Fallon Show Here is my second post about “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon Show”. And who better than The Roots to illustrate the greatness of the live performances on this show. They perform their lead single from their incredibly slept on album “How I Got Over”. What I don’t understand is why people haven’t talked much...

Q Tip - Barely In Love live @Jimmy Fallon Show I have to admit that when I found out in 2009 that The Roots would be part of talk show on a regular basis, I was a bit skeptical. Would they be used appropriately in the program? Would they ever do gigs again? Is it going to constrain them to make other albums? Well all those doubts disappeared when I had the chance to see the show. First of all...
