YIM YAMES (Jim James from My Morning Jacket) Tribute To

John Lennon once said he didn’t believe that musicians created emotions in their listeners.

DJ JS-1 – “Murder” feat. Chino XL, Sean Price, & Killah Priest

DJ JS-1’s latest release, a 21-track, 40-plus guest-featured onslaught of hip-hop, turns to a violent page for the track “Murder.” Chino XL, Sean Price, and Killah Priest each lay down a verse over a beat that blends old school West Coast bumpin’ with a new school dark consciousness. Even the rappers, in the midst of their own braggadocio rhymes, give it up for the ferocity with which JS creates this…

This was also the case Deerhunter’s ‘Microcastle’ LP, which was written during the same period. I started recording…
