Donwill of Tanya Morgan has a dope new project he’s working on. It’s called Don Cusack in High Fidelity, check out the tracklist below. As far as what the album’s about, I’ll let him tell it:
The album ‘Don Cusack in High Fidelity‘ is a remake of the movie ‘High Fidelity‘ (starring John Cusack). It is one of my favorite movies of all times. I feel that the movie has alot of parallel’s to my personal life, so many that I’ve decided to cast myself in the role of Rob Gordon (Cusack’s character) for the duration of this project.
And here: Don Cusack is almost done and in honor of letting people in on the process to sneak a glimpse at the work in progress I put together a short snippet tape. You know just so you can see where I’m at and help motivate me to finish this damn thing. Its not all the songs from the album or nothing like that, just 5 of the joints that were the most finished.
As for the project being done, who knows. Sometime soon tho so that I can start finish my work with Von Pea and Brickbeats. More than anything it just needs to be mixed down at this point and there are a few people im still waiting on to finish a few songs but I wont name names… YET!
So here we go! The bold joints are the ones that are on the snippet tape. I didnt wanna give TOO much away but I wanted to let yall hear something. I decided to include the tracklist as it stands right now including features and producers for people who are into that sort of thing. Oh and the album is split into 2 parts. If that doesnt make sense then you dont know me or this project at all. Regardless I will be explaining it at a later date. Just enjoy this for now…

SATURDAY, 7/4 -> Kid Hum dropped some of the best Colorado hip hop records to date over the last year (the CMJ charts & over 50,000+ downloads seems to agree) and in my humble opinion, there wasn’t enough fanfare for the releases. So I decided to call the homie Hum the other day and see what he’d like to do to promote his music, next thing you know we’d put together a “Kid Hum Records Release Party” at So Damn Down at Shag (830 15th St) for both Fossil Fuel and Offshore Drilling featuring performances from some of CO’s finest, including Whygee, Sunkenstate, B-Money, brikAbrak and of course, Kid Hum himself, plus some other surprises. The party is free, the lineup is thick & when have I steered you wrong before? See you there. No cover / 21+ / Music at 10.
P.S. If you haven’t already, download Fossil Fuel, Offshore Drilling & Suicide Watch for free right now & get up on Kid Hum’s music, you’ll be glad you did.

Exile and his ridiculously talented buddy
DJ Day as they come rock on 2 MPCs & 2 turntables at the Solution w/me & Sounds Supreme on the Funky Buddha’s rooftop (
776 Lincoln St). These guys are doing some of the craziest ish in
hip hop music, re-creating classic records live, playing the MPC like an instrument and we’re lucky to have them join us at the Solution for free. Gotta thank the Red Bull Music Academy for bringing out these guys out and the opportunity (don’t know about RBMA? check out
RedBullMusicAcademy.com for more one of the coolest fusions of art & commerce I know of). Anyways, check out the video below for a taste of the craziness that Ex & Day will be bringing to Denver, I don’t think any of us are ready. No cover / 21+ / Music at 9.

SATURDAY, 6/27 -> It’s that time of year again. That wonderful day where Tanya Morgan & Che Grand come out to Denver to rock, we all get hammered and I ended up yelling “I love my life” repeatedly at all of my friends, LOL. If you’ve ever been, you know it’s one hell of a time and if you’ve never been, then please do yourself a favor and come out, I promise you’ll be glad you did. Not only will we be celebrating my birthday, but we’re also celebrating some of my good friends’ as well, on some all-stars of June shit. Shouts to boy Charley Cox (who runs Shag), Donwill (aka Donny Cusack of Tanya Morgan), my brother in ‘babwe Che Grand, my super fresh homegirl Becca, the ever-talented Rachel Crick & Mama Drop aka Monique, who are gonna be celebrating their birthdays as well. In case you’re not counting that makes seven birthdays being celebrated, imagine the fun of one good birthday party, times it by seven and make sure don’t miss out on the 27th. Also, I’m guessing there might be a few guest DJ sets throughout the night so I can have some drinkin breaks, stay tuned for announcements of who might also spin. 830 15th St (15th & Champa) downtown, no cover & we’re prolly gonna be grillin on the patio from like 8 on, so come join us early.

UPDATE: Voting ends on Monday, June 15th at noon MST. Please vote before then if you’re gonna vote. Thanks again.
Yep, it’s Westword Music Showcase time and guess who’s nominated again (shouts to the nominating committee, I appreciate the recognition & Westword, Denver’s premier music/arts/entertainment magazine). Last year, y’all blew me away and voted me Denver’s “Best Hip Hop DJ”, thanks again, you’re the shit. And while I’ve never been foolish enough to think I’m the best DJ out of a field that includes heavyweights like Vajra, Chonz, Cysko Rokwel, Bedz & more, I’ll be geeked if you wanna vote for me again as I try to become the first back to back “Best Hip Hop DJ” winner yet.
The voting process is easier than ever and you can find the “DJ - Hip Hop” category towards the bottom. Thanks again y’all, I appreciate the support. And if you decide not to vote for me, I can’t be too mad, almost everyone nominated is a dope DJ and a friend of mine, props to all the good DJs around town.
