Saba | Kentucky | DJBooth Freestyle Series, #36 | Download

Oft imitated but never equaled, the DJBooth Freestyle Series ran from February 2009 through June 2011. Its 250 total entries were the work of a veritable who’s-who of underground and emerging emcees, including rising stars like Kendrick Lamar, Wiz Khalifa and Mac Miller. Now, it’s back for a second round.

The 36th entry in the relaunched series comes courtesy of Saba, the Chi-Town native and Pivot Gang member who recently unleashed the (very dope) visual accompaniment to mixtape single “Burnout.” On Kentucky, the unsigned buzzmaker flexes his lyrical muscles over an original, self-produced instrumental. Fred Lozano provides original artwork to accompany the freestyle.

Saba has yet to announce any forthcoming projects but, if Kentucky‘s piqued your interest, you can hear more on the emcee/producer’s #ComfortZone street album, out now online.

CunninLynguists ft. Blu & Psalm One | The Morning

The Morning is one of the recently released tracks off the CunninLynguists newest album Strange Journey Volume 3. The album is to be officially released on April 1st, but up until the official release date, you can download the album for no charge, or whatever you'd like to offer up.

"We were going to make it free on March 31st to our fans as a thank you for helping us make the record, but The Internets decided to leak it -- and "ripping groups" weren't involved in making this record, so fuck 'em...we're putting the deluxe digital edition up for free right now! "Burn it off the fucking internet, and bump it outside..." You can still pre-order "The Rocket Booster Pack", but "The Format Pack" has sold out! Peace!" - Kno

Stream/download and if you enjoy what you hear, be sure to pick it up at CunninLynguists.com. West Coasters can also show your support by attending any of their Strange Universe Tour stops.



Strange Journey Vol 3 will consist of fan input for the first ever crowd-sourced album. The role of A&R will be filled by the fans.

The first ever truly crowd-sourced album. Not happy simply “crowd-funding” a release via Kickstarter like so many other artists, Deacon The Villain, Natti & Kno asked their fans for no money — instead they spent a year interacting with fans via social media & allowing them to vote on guest artists, suggest song concepts, letting them peek in on studio sessions & make decisions on album artwork.

World's tallest and fastest water slide | the Verruckt | is the stuff of nightmares

Verruckt means "insane" in German, and the slide, is scheduled to debut in May next year and is definitely not for the faint of heart.

The new water slide at Schlitterbahn, Germany is expected to shatter the current record for height held by the 164-foot high Kilimanjaro in Barra do Pirai, Brazil.

Adventurous souls must climb an agonizing 264 steps to reach its staggering 17 story-tall top. Four-person rafts will next send them hurdling back down to earth at a minimum speed of 65 mph.

The ride includes a five-story hump that shoots riders upwards as a climactic finish to what will no doubt become known as a bowel-loosening attraction
