Man Tracks Down Mysterious Fisherman Who Inspired Legendary Electronic Music Producer’s Tattoo
Raidió na Gaeltachta broadcaster Cian Ó Cíobháin has been intrigued by the story behind the late legendary producer Andrew Weatherall‘s tattoo, and the Cork fisherman that inspired it. In an interview with Dummy, Weatherall recounted exactly how his tattoo, which read “Fail we may, sail we must,” came to be. On the way to a gig in Cork, Weatherall struck up a conversation with his driver, who happened to be a trawlerman from the small town. After they each spoke of their professions, Weatherall asked the man if there were ever days where he didn’t want to get up and go to work. “Fail we may, sail we must,” was the fisherman’s response. The phrase certainly struck a chord with Weatherall, who ended up getting it tattooed on his ...

R.I.P. Prince Markie Dee, Rapper in The Fat Boys Dead at 52
Mark “Prince Markie Dee” Morales, whose swagger and humor with The Fat Boys helped define early hip-hop, has died at 52. The news was first announced by the SiriusXM radio channel Rock the Bells, where Morales hosted The Prince Markie Dee Show, and later confirmed by his longtime friend Louis “Uncle Louis” Gregory. AllHipHop reports the cause of death was congestive heart failure. Morales was born on on Feb. 19th, 1968 in New York City. He formed The Fat Boys in the early eighties with Darren Robinson, aka The Human Beat Box, and Damon “Kool Rock Ski” Wimbley. Alongside fellow Golden Age pioneers like Doug E. Fresh, The Fat Boys brought beatboxing to mainstream audiences, piling up the hits with self-deprecating humor and riotous party anthems. The trio put out seven albums between 19...
Ariana Grande Unveils Positions Deluxe Edition: Stream
Ariana Grande has released the deluxe edition of her 2020 album Positions. Stream it below via Apple Music and Spotify. Along with the 14 tracks that appeared on the original version of the album last October, this expanded edition contains five additional songs that didn’t quite make the cut for the record’s standard edition. The new tracks include her previously-released “34+35 (Remix)” with Megan Thee Stallion and Doja Cat, an interlude called “someone like u”, and three other tracks titled, “test drive”, “worst behavior”, and “main thing”. Although deluxe editions are a format that hungry pop fans begin clamoring for the week after an album drops, Grande didn’t start teasing this re-release until February 1st. She shared the “34+35” remix back in January, and then gave the de...
Tha God Fahim and Your Old Droog Release New Album Tha YOD Fahim: Stream
Rappers Tha God Fahim and Your Old Droog have released a new collaborative album called Tha Yod Fahim. Stream it below via Apple Music or Spotify. That deja vu you’re feeling is totally justified. Tha God Fahim made two appearances on Your Old Droog’s December 2020 record, Dump YOD: Krutoy Edition, and then last month the prolific emcees teamed up for a fantastic mini-album of their own called Tha Wolf on Wall St. That one was only eight tracks, but its dense production and sharp lyricism gave fans a lot to chew on. Nevertheless, the pair have decided that it’s already time to swing back around with even bigger second helping. Tha YOD Fahim (incredible pun, by the way) adds 14 new songs to the stack we heard from them last month. Together, they make gritty jazz-rap that’s bo...

Spain Arrests 80 In Riots Over Rapper Pablo Hasel’s Jailing
But potentially deepening the tension, court authorities in the northeastern Catalonia region announced that Hasél lost a recent appeal and is looking at an additional prison sentence of 2 1/2 years for obstructing justice and assault in 2017. The sentence can be appealed again before the country’s Supreme Court. Like the two previous nights, the protests began Thursday with large gatherings in several cities that were, at first, mostly peaceful. In Catalonia’s regional capital, Barcelona, hundreds sang songs, rapped and shouted “Pablo Hasél, freedom!” and “Spanish media, manipulators!” at a central square before dozens broke off the main group to set alight a barricade of trash containers and a construction skip that blocked a main city artery, hurling stones, bottles an...
