Back once again it’s the renegade master, b-boy damager — power to the people! The great Z-Trip has returned from a self-imposed sabbatical with a newfound hunger for expression, a fresh outlook on music, and most importantly… a new mixtape! Recorded for BBC Radio 1, the Z-Trip Hip Hop Takeover Mix features Zach at the […]
There’s not much about this project not to be excited about. I mean a free Talib Kweli mixtape, assembled by the great Z-Trip? That’s pretty much a no brainer, and a hell of a way to kick off the weekend. Let Attack The Block play. “Z-Trip is a true master. This is a mix tape you […]
OK, it’s Friday June 15th so you know what that means — we’re getting our tuxes ready for Jim Mahfood’s L.A. Ink Stains vol. 1 Prom/Book Release Party over at Titmouse Animation Studios. You know we’re big fans of Mahfood’s L.A. inspired illustrations, and can’t wait to get our hands on his L.A. Ink Stains book, so […]

(North America South America) here many times in the past, partly because they’ve managed to corral an almost unholy stable of collaborators to work with (“People Tree” featuring David Byrne, Chali 2Na, Z-Trip and Gift of Gab, “Whachadoin?” with M.I.A., Santogold and Spank Rock, “Spacious Thoughts” with Tom Waits and Kool Keith, […]
In order to promote the latest iteration of the Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit franchise, EA is hosting a series of parties across the US to give video game heads and car aficionados a chance to get their greasy paws on the game before the rest of the plebes out there. Along with Gran Turismo and […]
Props to N.A.S.A. who continue their Boing Boing-sponsored run of excellent animated videos (e.g. that Syd Garon directed “People Tree” video featuring David Byrne, Chali 2Na, Z-Trip and Gift of Gab, “Whachadoin?” with M.I.A., Santogold and Spank Rock, “Spacious Thoughts” with Tom Waits & Kool Keith, etc). This time it’s a vid for “Strange Enough”, […]
