This week’s quotable hip-hop track is Kats and Domer’s Weekend Lover, which features a guest verse from Jake Lefco and a tight beat by Andy Bangers. Weekend Lover is from the “Almost Fameless Mixtape Vol. 2,” which you can download for free here. What I really like about this song is the way the three emcees created three different interpretations of the song, which is apparent from their verses. Click below to listen to the track:

Domer’s “My Favorite EP” is hip-hop’s first ever open source music project. It’s all about blurring the line between listener and artist in the creative process and trying something that’s never been done before.
Domer started with lyrics for five unwritten songs, which he recorded to a metronome with no music at all. 20 very different producers from all over the world each made their own versions of the music to go with the lyrics. And now you can choose your favorite version of each song and assemble your own favorite EP.
Brooklyn MC Domer has once again pushed his unique blend of hip-hop and punk rock to the screen with last night’s premiere of “You’re On To Me” at Asterisk in Bushwick. The party included impressive performances by the Metermaids, Domer and brokeMC, among others.
The video is from Domer’s upcoming album, due out Fall ’07, and is directed by Austin Lynn (Kovarova.com). It features the entire MINDSpray family, a collection of dope NYC emcees. Peep the video below:
NYC underground MC Domer has released a video for “Eden Goes Dark,” the first release off of his recently-released album “Work With Me.” Created by Emma McNamara of Skipping Beats Records, the video is completely animated and revolves around the song’s concept of how human beings engage in smoking and other self-destructive behaviors that are leading to our own deaths.
