Get it here (Free)

Shit is 100% dope. You’re welcome.

I get to make this ride with a partner, the better half.  She has been spending the day making CDs for the ride home, there are six of them and I suspect that this song makes an appearance in all six.

I’m soliciting recommendations in building the mix for the long ride home.  Here are the top six, what am I missing?

Kanye West, Family Business

Simply put, there is not better song to describe the family get together.

Phil Ade, Hollywood

Phil Ade is good, despite the fact that on some tracks, every other word is his name.

Priceless the Kid featuring Doe Boy, Feel Good

Priceless is coming out with some of the best new shit we’ve heard to date (he also brings the heat on stage).

WALE, W.A.L.E.D.A.N.C.E

This guy is like my Mom, as in everything that he cooks up is excellent

Tribe Called Quest, Electric Relaxation

Jay-Z and Linkin Park, Encore

Who you know fresher than HOV riddle me that?

What are you listening to on the radio to help get you home safe for the holidays?

You know what White People love? You probably do because there is a whole list of shit they like. But add to that list — Girl Talk.

WTF is Girl Talk?

Fact: White People love hip-hop.

Fact: White people love classic rock (especially from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s).

Girl Talk saw a, what our college economics professor called, “niche market demand” and effectively combined the two of them, and in an awesome way.

His new(er) album “Feed The Animals” features UGK, Outkast, Hova and others paired over some of White People’s greatest musical achievements.

You can pick up “Feed the Animals” here. The best part is that since he pretty much infringes on tons of copyrights, he lets you name your own price to download it (we payed $5).

Girl Talk isn’t your typical 16 year old with his first Mac, this guy is a master of this craft. His music is staple for our running, party and Mr and Mrs times mixes.

Check it out, it is sort of like the Barack Obama of music (but with better approval ratings).

Oh, and what is Glee? This is Glee. White People freak out when this shit is played.

Anybody do anything epic while you were away from the office/classroom?  We hope you got a chance to check out this, we heard it was a great time.

We learned a few things over time spent with family.

1. My girlfriend now encourages me to act like Jay-Z. I mean, I’m strong, but I don’t know if I’m this strong. Way to respect the lady, Jay.

2. Sometimes we feel as if we live in a cubicle or something, since when did Bill Cosby produce a rap album? And why the hell is he not rapping on it, you know that man can spit it. Unfortunately, from what we hear it isn’t that great and Russell Simmons had some choice words for it.

I spent the entire 6 hour drive to my folks listening to Priceless the Kid’s No Barcode on repeat and Phil Ade’s Starting on JV (also played through Wale’s Attention Deficit). These are 2 dudes you need to check out.

Will someone send us some pics from the Gallery Group Kick Off with Big Boi?

Stay strong. Christmas break is around the corner.

Have you met Priceless the Kid? Perhaps caught him tearing up a set in the ATL? Well let us introduce you to him, this is Priceless the Kid. He is ridiculous; one of the sickest new MCs we’ve ever heard. We like this guy so much we actually purchased his CD off iTunes, as in paid real money for it, as in did not get it off Lime Wire. That hasn’t happened in a long time.

There are a lot of really good MCs that we discover everyday, we prefer a lot of them over the shit that hear on the radio. This guy is a “great” MC and we can’t wait for him to get some time on the radio. Aside from making great music, his live shows are amazing. His release party sold out the King Plow Center in Atlanta (and if you look at pictures of the event, it is full of hotties).

We asked Priceless for a minute of his time to answer a few questions for us. Below is what he had to say.

1. Tell us a bit about yourself. Where are you from and how did you come by the name “Priceless the Kid”?

Lets see… I’m 22 years old. I was born into a military family so I spent most of life moving around and traveling the world. I was born in the small town of Valdosta GA, and shortly after moved out west to Vallejo California and that’s when my ‘world tour’ began as I like to call it. Priceless was a name created back in high school. I went to a few different culturally mixed schools, so there was all types of music and artists that I got exposed too. With all the different races and what not, it was still easy to see the music that transcended to everyone. Like I moved to Guam on the other side of the world and the music that was hot there was the same as what was hot back in South Carolina.Background or status didn’t matter, location didn’t really matter, it was good music for the masses, Priceless in a sense. Thats where the name stems from though, The Kid appeared somehow later.

2. What got you from listening to music to making it?

Well I ran for student body president in 7th grade haha (yea i’ll admit) .. But instead of doing a speech I thought it would be dope if I rapped my speech for the school. I downloaded that old Big Tymers track “Get Your Roll on” and switched it to “Get Your Vote On” or something equally cheesy as fuck. It was the first rap I remember writing but it was dope! The school went crazy once I performed it on speech day, it was something different ya know. But ya I ended up winning the election, so I deciced to keep pursuing this music thing.

3. What influences do you draw on for your music?

Good vibes. If the vibe is there then everything else will fall into place. Good trees as well, life experiences, things I see on a day to day, this could go on for a minute…

4. What is the thing that you’re most proud of in your career?

I’m proud to have people listening to my words honestly. Like actually listening, ya know. It’s one thing to spit for homies and people you know, but when you have complete strangers out there that give you the time and enjoy the product to the point they tell someone who tells someone else about you- that whole process is amazing.

5. You’re driving from Atlanta to Athens, Georgia with your boys and you’ve got to make a playlist for the road. Who are some of the current artists making the cut?

I got Derek Vincent from Pretty Light’s tape in rotation, Wolf in a Spacesuit is in rotation. New Royce da 5′9 is in there, Radiohead is still current to some folks right? Got a few of their albums on deck. My production team Sympony Crack is def on there, I mostly listen to instrumentals and oldies these days.

6. Describe your album “No Barcode” and complete the following sentence.

No Barcode is the world’s first office introduction to the sounds and experiences of all that is PTK

“No Barcode” is the choice album to listen to while you’re smoking Dank. Winning. Enjoying life.Maybe even smoking Dank while winning and enjoying life simultaneously “.

7. What would be a perfect day for Priceless?

Hmmm.. I would wake up to some exotics (girl and nugs), head to the dojo and record a banger or multiple bangers, stop by the medical nug shop legally owned by me, greet my employees (which happen to be old homies) with a bonus and munchies,find some cash I thought I lost but instead stashed it somewhere random, text Megan Fox that I’m sorry but I can’t meet her for sushi tonight, she responds with the usual “sad face and a call me tommorow boo” — get a late night bbm and dip out to meet with Eva Longoria instead (Tony’s got a road game tonight)

8. What do you have going on in the future that we should be keeping an eye out for?

My ‘Diamond Life’ mixtape hosted by Diamond Supply Co x Don Cannon & DJ FU. That drops around Christmas, the first track ‘Feel Good’ off the tape got leaked and it’s gettin a crazy response right now. The whole project is off the wall tracks like that, its shaping up to sound more like an album with all the original music but that’s def not a bad thing! I got another project ‘The Road Less Traveled’ in the works, that’ll be out early next year and it’s all experimental/electronic production from some pretty big names. I’m also hitting the road with my live band, hopefully i’ll be in a city near you.

Priceless we appreciate it and good luck with the Gallery Group Kick Off on November 27th. We understand you’ll be hosting Big Boi, amongst others.

Ya Clipse is on the bill, shouts to Malice and Pusha! The homie Yelawolf is on the bill, def gonna be a ill show. Gallery Group is kickin shit off the right way- dope acts, dope venue, dope night. I gotta say thanks to everybody over at Poloflow for the interview, preciate it homies!

Check Priceless’s Web site here and get his new single “Feel Good” we hear it is becoming a favorite amongst exotic dancers in Atlanta.
