Don’t know how we missed this last year, but here’s Who’s That? Brooown! by Das Racist. It’s an 8-bit version of New York City inspired by lo fi PC games of the 1980’s.

The video was the Official Selection Sundance Film Festival US Narrative Shorts, Rolling Stone #3 Best Video of 2010, Spin Magazine #6 Best Music Videos of 2010, and Pitchfork #8 Top Music Videos of 2010. The group even put a video game together. You can play it here.

Bambu and Krondon (Strong Arm Steady) throw down over this Paper Son beat! “Menacing Looks” adds some empowering messages throughout the video like end police terrorism, money for schools not wars, free all political prisoners, organize the masses, stop U.S. imperialism, decriminalize immigration, and more hot button issues. The song is one of the bonus songs added to the re-release of …exact change… On April 29, 2011, Beatrock Music will re-release the remastered version of …exact change… with 8 bonus songs on a second CD. They will only release a limited quanitity, so make sure you get it when it drops! Other tracks on the album include Quit and Crooks & Rooks

Jason Min released a new original track “The Man And His Wife”. The song shows the emotional longing for someone, when you don’t even know her name. It’s like love at first sight. We first heard the Philadelphia based singer when he worked with The Supply Education Group.
