Chris Faust took the stage at SUNY New Paltz’ Rock Against Racism festival this weekend to perform for the college crowd.  The vibes of his  band, Good Day Good Night, along with the sultry backing vocals of Cocoa Sarai resonated with the laid back crowd and many new fans were won over.  Faust recently released the first issue of Villain to much acclaim earlier this month, with Issue 2 of 3 slated to drop on May 15th.  ATWL made the trek to upstate NY for the show and now we’re proud to provide our exclusive soundboard recording of Maybe Now Begins (off of FAUST) from the set.

Now that the dust has settled from SXSW, we pooled together some great performances from the week of festivities.  Here we have complete soundboard recordings of full sets from Jay-Z, B.o.B & T.I., Santigold and a bonus song from XV.  These are some awesome performances, as Kweli, B.o.B and Santigold all performed some new material from their upcoming releases.  All artists were joined by a live band to add to the dynamic of their sets, so hit the jump and start downloading.

While browsing the web this morning, I stumbled across another audience recording from D’Angelo’s comeback tour posted over at Da Bang.  Here is a FLAC download of his first show in nearly 12 years.  Not quite as good quality as the recording of D’Angelo’s Paris Show, but hey, its still new D’Angelo and worthy of a listen.

Back in 2007, The Roots embarked on one of their most ambitious (and amazing) tours as they hosted the first ever VH1 Hip Hop Honors tour.  Joined by legends MC Lyte and Bid Daddy Kane, The Roots crafted one hell of a setlist, paying homage to classic hip-hop.  In fact, this tour was the first and only time The Roots rocked an entire 2.5 hour set without performing a single Roots song (this night happened to be one of the few exceptions from the tour as they performed Proceed and Clones, with a rare guest spot from Malik B).  There are way too many highlights from the show to list them all, but a definite “oh shit!” moment was Black Thought flawlessly impersonating everyone in the Wu Tang Clan on Protect Ya Neck.  This tour was also the unleashing of Black Thought’s epic cover of Men @ Work, which is breath control at its finest.  The setlist speaks for itself, so check it out below and enjoy our exclusive recording of the entire 2.5 hour concert below- this one is not to be missed!
