EXCLUSIVE DOWNLOAD: Cuizinier feat. Spank Rock and Pase Rock - Lettre F

Cuizinier is on his way to being France’s premiere rap artist, by virtue of being one of the main members of Parisian electro hip hop legends-in-the-making TTC and releasing his wildly popular Pour Les Filles mix tapes (the third and final volume of which is unleashed this month). The Institubes blog just dropped a mega bomb with “Lettre F”, an exclusive Cuizinier track featuring Spank Rock and Pase Rock. It’s total pop with a dangerous edge, like the perfect marriage between Pour Les Filles and Spank Rock’s 2 Live Crew-inspired Bangers and Cash project. Obviously, this musical coup is totally worthy of being a classic summer jam, and we’re sure you’ll be spinning it poolside for the next few months. It’s so fun you can imagine Spank, Pase and Cuiz hanging out in the studio and going crazy. The track was produced by TTC member Orgasmic, who’s signature glossy ‘80s style is all over the song. Enjoy…
Sounds like: TTC, Spank Rock, Kanye West

Happy Birthday Cuizi Cuiz
Real quick: today is Cuizinier's birthday, so please saran-wrap your best wishes and your finest bitches, stick a purple satin bow on top and send it all to the Cuizi Mansion. He will appreciate.
And Cuizinier has a new street-tape coming up, the third and last one, Godfather-style.

And you know what, it's still produced by ORGASMIC who's still the most stylish DJ ever (ask him to show you the new 2-Tone-vs-SK8-vs-Kid'n-Play sneakers he copped at Alife LA).
Teasers and leaks abound: our friends at The Fader posted this one some time ago:
Quand tu m'aimes (being a love song AND a wake up call to Dipset)
And this was yesterday, in Geneva:
PARANOIA IS A MUST.

DOWNLOAD: Mochipet - Sharp Drest
.jpg)
Mochipet (a.k.a. Taiwan-born David Wang) makes ‘80s-inspired techno rap that sounds like Grandmaster Flash hanging out in Berlin with Miss Kittin circa 2003. If that’s hard to picture, just listen to today’s download “Sharp Drest”--its beats are hard and dirty, but the rapping is very cadenced and laid-back, like those late-70s/early ‘80s Bronx dudes. And if it’s of any indication of Mochipet’s techno cred, he’s released records on both Ellen Allien’s legendary Bpitchcontrol label and Oakland-based electro imprint Tigerbeat6. As far as “Sharp Drest” goes, here’s all you really need to know: it includes the line “I’m drinking vino sparklin’/And singing dirty raps up in my clean apartment” being sung by none other than Eric Steuer from RCRD LBL band Meanest Man Contest. How can that not make your day?
Sounds like: Meanest Man Contest, Miss Kittin, Grandmaster Flash
VIDEO: Khia talks about Ms. Rap Supreme
Oh, Khia. Over the last few weeks we've become totally engrossed in VH1's newest music-based reality series, Ms. Rap Supreme, where young, amateur females rappers compete for some... money and stuff? Who cares? It's TV gold.
The big surprise on the show was the presence of Khia (whose immensely NSFW "My Neck, My Back" was a breakthrough hit in 2002). While most of us thought she would be holding it down as a judge or host or something, turns out Thug Misses was there to compete with the other ladies, all while going on and on about how she was better than them and already had a hit. Mixed messages, anyone? The predictable catfights went down as soon as the cameras started rolling (one contestant had the guts to call Khia a “one hit wonder” to her face, which turned out to be not such a good idea—hasn’t she seen Khia’s extensive mugshot portfolio?). We could go on and on about the genius of this show (some of the rappers area actually quite good) but why bother when Khia can do it for us? She just uploaded this video to her MySpace a few days ago, so check it out for the real scoop on why she competed in the first place (can we please make "Promotion, people" the new "Don't tase me, bro?"). As for the need to explain herself, the woman has one thing to say: “Some y’all bitches still hooked on phonics”. We can't.
Warning: Slightly NSFW, obviously (people, it's Khia).
