Talib Kweli & Z-Trip - Attack The Block Mixtape
I don't know if anyone else had encoding/metadata problems with the files for this, but I did. I had to download an encoder to fix this. Apparently it's a Windows 7 issue, but both of these links are good to go. Streaming available below as well.

Guest Blog - Fledgling Fashionista Examines 'Late Night With The Roots'
Late Night with The Roots
Review by Athena Dixon-DeMary
I entered my listen of Late Night with The Roots with a bias. A long time ago I deemed Do You Want More?! to be their best work. Consequently, I compare everything else stamped with their name to it. However, in recent years my ears have had to adjust to increasingly dark albums and collaborations. On this album I expected some new jazz infused hip-hop, a Black Thought verse here and there and perhaps a drum solo or two. I thought that I would hear small soundbites meant to be sandwiched between commercial breaks and witty banter, but what I got was nothing I expected. Despite my yearning for a Roots album, and my bias notwithstanding, I did appreciate the highs and find fault with the lows on Late Night with The Roots, but unfortunately most of the LP is fair to middlin'.
“How I Got Over” opens the album on a lukewarm note. I feel like I've heard this all before. It's a sped up, old soul sound that after a frenetic opening settles into a decent enough groove. What's missing is the grit, the urgency of the album version. Somehow the energy captured in the studio is more alive than an up close and personal rendition.
