• Hip Hop Friday with video: Secret Agent 23 Skidoo

  Easy by Secret Agent 23 Skidoo   Our fave in the bunch, this dad with the super cool name decided there had to be a compromise between the adult hip hop world and the sugary sweet kid music choices. Secret Agent 23 Skidoo’s new record Easy hits the mark with lyrics that don’t shout "this is kid stuff!" even while referencing robots. No choreographed tunes for your rowdy rhymer, this MC is about freestylin’. He’s also about keeping things positive and we think he got it just right with Gotta Be Me! Check out this vid.   Posted May 02 2008, 03:03 PM by editors with | with 1 comment(s) Filed under: kids music, Babble Review, mp3, easy, hip hop for kids, gotta be me, secret agent 23 skidoo

• Hip Hop Friday with mp3s: The Dino 5

  Let’s hear it for a well-rounded music education for our kiddos! Baby Mozart was followed by Stones v. Beatles, then you moved on to indie and alt-country and now it’s time for the hip hop. Luckily some kid musicians are also tuned into the new break dancing movement for the under-10 set and are bringing the noise to get your kids rhymin’ and freezin’. We’ll be releasing mp3s to your house all day. - April Peveteaux Baby Loves Hip Hop presents The Dino 5   The Dino 5 are a power quintuplet steered by super producer and performer Prince Paul with members of Jurassic 5, the Roots, Digable Planets and eMC. These luminaries are committed to making music fun for the littlest fans of the hip hop by telling a prehistoric tale of five dinosaur friends.

• Hip Hop Friday with mp3s: Ah-Choo

  Ah-Choo   A former teacher, Ah-Choo first used hip hop to teach kids phonics. While his approach can be more educational than, “What a fresh jam!" (as your grandma would say) this ode to PB&J is, well, just adorable.   01 Peanut Butter And Jelly.mp3   Also check out this video for "I'm a Little Kid But I Have a Cell Phone" sung to the tune of Old McDonald. Yes, it is a little scary.   Posted May 01 2008, 04:27 PM by editors with | with no comments Filed under: kids music, hip hop for kids, ah-choo, learning music, peanut butter and jelly
