Premiere: D-Lo f. Sleepy D, “Coppers” MP3

“Coppers,” if you stay up on Bay area rap (we try), has ostensibly been available on the internuts for a little while via D-Lo’s now officially available album The Tonite Show, but it doesn’t appear anyone really knew that. So it is with great joy and a hatful of fake dreads shaking that we unleash one of its insanely insane (hyphy?) tracks to all peoples outside of the San Fran/Oakland/San Jose cultural sphere. Produced entirely by DJ Fresh & The Whole Shabang, The Tonite Show’s whole steez seems pinned on making already crazy lines sound crazier and then pounding the whole thing to death with colossal bass, cavernous claps and the hollowest space pings since Alien. “Coppers” drops a slightly screwed clip of Wayne’s Tell them coppers HAHAHAHA you can’t catch ‘em you can’t stop ‘em down a synthesized rabbit hole and Sleepy D joins D-Lo for some manic flouting of legality. By any means, it is indicative of this album’s rightful place in your late summer rotation.

Freeload: The FADER Issue 62 Podcast
- story THE FADER
We and you and everyone we know has been trumpeting the Summer Of Love 2009, and it was our mantra as we put together FADER Issue 62. We scoured the universe for the summeriest, most barbecuey music this year and came up with an issue that, if you scratch-and-sniff it, smells vaguely coconutty like Hawaiian Tropic (not really). As such, this issue’s podcast, presented by Bacardi B-LIVE, is about as clear a definition of what we think you should be listening to in the coming months as we could possibly make. It’s got songs from every artist in the issue from cover stars Phoenix, Major Lazer, Maluca, DJ Sega and Popo; featured power-bros Young Dro, Dum Dum Girls, Wavves, Crocodiles, Family Time Records fam, Gen Fers Omega, D-Lo and Sleepy D, Esser, CFCF, and like a trizillion more people! Download it below and listen while reading the issue, scorching hot like the sun on newsstands right now. And come back to TheFADER.com in two weeks for the free issue PDF that you can save on your computer until the robots take over.

Video: D-Lo, “No Hoe”
- story THE FADER
If there’s one thing this video confirms about HBR’s D-Lo, it’s that he does not love hoes. If you also hate women but love hard-hitting Bay Area slaps, first of all what is wrong with you? Second, D-Lo’s The Tonight Show is in stores now and should whet your pallet like that juice that one dude who looks like Jeru the Damaja is drinking from that old timey looking jug.
