For those of you who are fans of the esteemable DJ Shadow, he’s just released a new EP, titled I gotta Rokk. It’s available from his website. It’s only three tracks (plus a few remixes of them), and I can’t say that I love two of the three tracks all that much. That being said, the track I’m Trying is a nice little change for DJ Shadow. It reminds me a bit of RJD2’s The Third Hand album, which was a little more laid back and way less hip hop.

agreed – the video for I Gotta Rokk is kind of cool, but I’m definitely not digging the song. This track, though, is nice. I love the laid back vibe
