Can't Frighten



The Heavy Manners/Tribe of Kings "Can't Frighten" mix just scored a 9 out of 10 review on DJ Phantomz website. I'm not entirely sure what that means, but seeing as that dude has every single dancehall track on the planet on his site I guess it means something.

If you still haven't joined the "online sensation" that is the free "Can't Frighten" mixtape go get it.

Reggae Album Cover Art

Is it just me or Gregory Isaacs the coolest looking dude of all time? Dude is so official. If anyone else tried to rock those hats they would look retarded. He's like the Christian Hosoi of roots.

Also...
If anyone has that Burning Sounds/Ranking Dread zip please get at me. I highly doubt that will happen, but you never know.






Photo of The Day



Imagine walking into your living room and having battle it out with Ocho here. That sh*t would be epic.

BunnyKitty In China

Persue told me that he "had" to go judge some graffiti contest in China with Rime and Zeb. Oh such a burden you carry Swayzi.

Here's some of the work they've done so far. More to come I'm sure.

Heavy Manners Presents Hardcore



I figured it was time to give a little shine on some of the hardcore bands that inspire some of the imagery and sediments that go into Heavy Manners.

This is not a definitive mix of all things hardcore and it is actually missing a lot of great bands, but it is a good starting point to build off of.

Punk and the numerous sub-genres that sprung from it can be a bit overwhelming to take in for the beginner.

Hardcore as defined by Wikipedia:

"Hardcore punk is a sub-genre of punk rock that originated in North America and the UK in the late 1970s. The new sound was generally thicker, heavier and faster than earlier punk rock. The songs are usually short, fast, and loud, covering topics such as politics, personal freedom, violence, social alienation, straight edge, war, and the hardcore subculture itself."

Now that you have the gist of what "hardcore" is download the mix and go punch something.

Tribute To Bad Santa
























I'm pretty much a sucker for all things Mike Epps. His stand-up is the greatest per say, but his ability to do skits and supporting characters is second to none.

This tape ain't too bad either.

Get it.
