Earlier this month, IHeartRadio put on a private show in NYC featuring K’Naan.  The short set was a great mix of K’Naan’s talent and featured many songs off of Troubadour.  Unique to this show was an interesting cover which blended U2’s Stuck In The Moment and Jay-Z’s Hard Knock Life.  Download the full show after the jump.

Nas & Damian Marley dropped by the Madia Vale studios at BBC radio for a live session for BBC 1xtra.  They performed five tracks for the session, backed by Damian’s band.  Their live show is definitely one of the better touring acts right now, so go see them if you have the chance.  Also, in case you missed it, here’s our exclusive live audio from their NYC show earlier this year.

Talib Kweli took the stage at SOB’s in NYC a few weeks ago to rock for a sold out crowd.  While he’s been on the road with Hi-Tek in support of Revolutions Per Minute, this was a solo show that was a steady mix of his whole catalog.  More importantly, he was backed by an amazing live band led by Daru Jones on the drums.  Here are a bunch of songs from the show that we managed to record for your listening pleasure.

The Roots went all out to perform their new single, Dear God 2.0, with the help of Jim James and an orchestra last night on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.  Pretty epic performance right here.  How I Got Over is in stores this Tuesday, and on iTunes Sunday night at midnight.

For the first time ever, DJ Jazzy Jeff and Questlove teamed up for a very special performance at this years The Roots Picnic.   I’m a fan of what Travis Barker has done with DJ AM (RIP) and A-Trak, so I was definitely curious to see what Jeff and Quest had cooked up.  While Travis Barker’s projects are focused more on the party vibe, I feel Questlove and Jazzy Jeff were making a point to not only entertain, but to educate… and the outcome was phenomenal.  They played everything- Jay-Z, A Tribe Called Quest, Pete Rock, The Pharcyde, Biggie, Kanye, Common, etc. and often played the original sample leading into the hip hop classic.   Skillz served as hypeman for the occaison and did a great job getting the crowd involved without becoming overbearing.  This is one rare gem you wont want to miss.  Full download and stream of our exclusive recording after the jump.
