If you’re free at all this weekend and are looking for something fun to do, a trip to the movies might be just what the doctor ordered. Sure, you’ve probably been to see a few big summer blockbusters over the last couple of months, but if you’re aching for some air conditioning for a couple of hours, I’d like to throw a recommendation that you don’t miss Straight Outta Compton if it’s playing in your area. The film tells the story of seminal late ’80s/early ’90s hip hop collective N.W.A., who rose to prominence at an important time for race relations in the U.S. It’s got plenty of drama as well as music, which is why I’m bringing it up. Reviews have been very good, so whether you like the music or not there’s definitely a compelling story to be told. Now then, let’s get to today’s Pick Your Poison. Recommended mp3s in this set come from Falling Awake, Noer the Boy, The Persian Leaps and Tree Machines. In the Soundcloud section after the jump, stream songs from All Dogs, helen, Janelle Monae & The Wondaland, King Khan, Kisses, Raw Fabrics, Timmy’s Organism and Wax Motif.
