Lee "Scratch" Perry | Reggae's Mad Scientist

http://www.rollingstone.com/files/content/mounts/sambamount/images/LISTS/Immortals/100_lee_scratch_perry_sq.jpg

Lee "Scratch" Perry is the psychedelic godfather of reggae, the mad scientist of dub and the producer of Super Ape and Bob Marley's early hits to the Clash's "Complete Control." His music and antics are the stuff of legend, and in the new documentary The Upsetter, filmmakers Ethan Higbee and Adam Bhala Lough take a never-before-seen look at the artist Rolling Stone calls "Reggae's Mad Scientist" in RS 1108/09, Jul. 8-22, 2010. In addition to interviews with Perry, The Upsetter features extensive archival footage from the musician's own collection.

Bilal x Malcolm X | By Any Means Necessary

Paying homage to Civil Rights leader Malcolm X's iconic pose where he was looking out from behind a window curtain with a rifle [M1 Carbine] in hand, Bilal redoes it with a soulful twist. Mr. Oliver's weapon of choice is a microphone, however, and he's peering out from behind a heavy red curtain, the kind that you might find on a stage. This imagery and the meaning held therein is quite powerful and just as revolutionary.

This isn't the first time that an artist has recreated Brother Malcolm's militant stance on an album cover. The artwork for Boogie Down Productions' 1988 classic By All Means Necessary shows KRS-One in the same pose holding a semi-automatic.

In an interview with Beats, Boxing and Mayhem Bilal explains, “The concept is getting my art out by any means necessary. Even through all the pitfalls, the dark side of industry and the bullshit you go through.”

Bilal continues, “I’m going to get it out in the manner it should be; not watered down or anything against how I want it. That photo is a reminder of that. It’s uncut, raw music that I’m putting out. And I’m willing to do whatever to get it out.”

100 Akres | The Billy Ocean Beat Tape

http://bandcamp.com/files/35/66/356608040-1.jpg 

A Billy Ocean Beat Tape theoretically is a coin toss; wherein, a coin flip has two outcomes: H or T (where H is a head and T is a tail).

100 Akres wins me over with this BOBT thus lands a H.

A project of this scope while a coin toss, in the wrong hands, would potentially fail miserably (T).

Free download this digital H of an album.
