Looking for some truly conscious hip-hop? If the answer is yes, SpaceCadetz highly recommends checking out Deep Thinkers, an underground hip-hop duo that are intent on addressing issues like homelessness, poverty, domestic abuse, and other issues that are more pressing than the latest bling. You can buy the album on Amazon.com.
Breaking news everyone. According to this news article, MySpace has deleted 200,000 “objectionable” profiles in an effort to clam fears about the safety of teens on the site. Many of the profiles either had “hate speech” or were “too risque.” Overall, this is a good move for MySpace and its advertisers who were probably getting slighly iffy about the content. The article also says that MySpace is at 66+ million members with 250,000 signing up daily. Go MySpace!!
“If Shaft met Bob Marley and Jimi Hendrix….” That’s the quote self-described “melodic surf funk” band Qwiksand uses to describe their music. If that sounds interesting to you, then you won’t be disappointed by the tunes. Qwiksand was voted one of the best independent artists in the country by the Independent Artist Registry. With deep roots in surf culture, the name Qwiksand was used to honor those who drowned in an infamous wave called “The Wedge” in Newport Beach, CA. The band currently has an album out called “The Fellowship of the Groove” which features their hit single “Concrete Cowboy.”

According to Gnarls Barkley’s Internet Team, they are going to run a poster contest on MySpace. The idea came about for a contest due to the flood of people spontaneously creating their own “Gnarls Barkely is Crazy” posters. If you have a poster, submit it to gnarlesb@gmail.com with the e-mail address you use for your MySpace account no later than 5PM PST on april 16th. 20 winners will be picked and the prizes will include a limited edition 10″ single of “Crazy,” your poster will be turned into official wallpaper available on GnarlsBarkley.com, and 50 of your posters will be printed and one will be signed by Gnarls (Cee-lo and Danger Mouse) as well.

Can you say ‘precocious’? Look it up in the dictionary and you should see the face of Chuck Anderson, an artist whose work is known as No Pattern. He started doing freelance work at the age of 18 right out of high school and hasn’t looked back since. Two years have passed since then, and Chuck has been on fire having worked for companies like Microsoft, Nike, Burton, Warner Brothers, ESPN, and more. He is a co-contributor at blog The Brilliance.com, and recently opened an online store where his work can be purchased. It’s super affordable ($30-$40) so I suggest you buy something now while it’s cheap!!
