U-N-I &
Ro Blvd have been cooking up something INCREDIBLE for a while now. That something is their debut album, A Love Supreme, and it’s easily one of the freshest records I’ve heard in years, no joke. Last I heard it was dropping this Spring, check out this dope clip from
DRG Films (
B Club in this!) below for Ro’s explaination of the album’s title and download their ridiculous new single
“Hollywood Hiatus” for a taste of what’s in store…

Also, 2DopeBoyz posted up a link to this older Ro Blvd interview (with Chris Loos) a little while back and since it seems like it’s gettin a second life on the blog circuit, I figured I’d help by posting it below…
And by the way, the beat playing in the background is an exclusive track called “First The Fat Boys Breakup” from my DJ Low Key - Mixing In Action #2 mixtape, just in case you slept…

So Exile (of Below The Heavens, Emanon & Dirty Science fame) has a CRAZY album called Radio coming out on January 20th. The whole project was made with samples Ex recorded from LA radio and since it’s gettin closer to the release date, he’s been dropping all sorts of fun stuff to get people ready. First, it was a dope mix for Red Bull Music Academy Radio on the heels of his appearance with Blu in Barcelona. Then it was some video clips over at Okayplayer & Urb.com of him MURDERING samples on the MPC that have to be seen to be believed.
Of course there were a bunch of interviews, one of my favorites being the one CO producer extraordinaire Kid Hum did with him for Basementalism Radio (check the interview link below). After that, he let Kenny Fresh over at Freshselects.net leak a few songs and I wouldn’t be surprised if more cool shit popped up over the next month. Anyways, make sure you check out all this great Exile music, definitely check the Blu & Exile “Blu Collar Workers” video that I was involved with earlier this year if you haven’t already & most importantly, do whatever it takes to cop Exile - Radio on 1/20…

He sure does. The homie Aeon did “Walk My Way” for Tanya Morgan, the single that won them the Myspace/XM Radio “Show Us What You Got Contest”. Che Grand’s “Girls Talk”, easily one of my favorite songs/beats of 2008 (I swear every time I play it out somebody, usually a DJ, will run up to the booth on some “oh shit, what’s this?!?!?”), that’s him too. His Erykah Badu “Honey” remix was all over the most popular music blogs earlier this year & I’m sure his recent Wale “Good Girls” remix is about to do the same, once he sends the MP3 to some other people besides me, DJ Jamad & the Lessondary…lol…(In the meantime, you can stream it over at his blog, Aggregate Dope)…
Aeon & me at XM Studios in D.C.
Anyways, a few weeks back he dropped a free instrumental project called Aeon Got Beats Volume 1 that I’ve been meaning to post up for a while. Check it out, do whatever you have to do to catch up on the rest of his catalogue & stay tuned for a couple of these unreleased beats he sent me to end up on Mixing In Action #3 sometime in ‘09…
.:Aeon Got Beats Volume 1:.
BONUS: The OMGz (Che Grand, Donwill & Aeon) “Make You A Star” from Che Grand & DJ Low Key - Limited Edition:The Fixtape
BONUS: Ilwil “From Love” from Tanya Morgan presents Ilwil - Beat Thieves 2 (mixed by DJ Low Key)

Last Saturday I DJed the launch party for the Estate LA/Rogue Status pop-up store at Family Affair and man, there were some BEAUTIFUL hats in the spot, along with 2 (a dope snowboard photography exhibit of the photography of Ian Ruther & Cole Barash), a bunch of crazy bikes, a lot of Denver’s fashion heads, free copies of Snowboard Mag and all the usual fresh gear you see at the shop.
Anyways, here are some pics from the opening, check out more at FamilyXAffair.com (that’s the homey Ant from Family Affair playin’ a few songs after a few drinks in the pic on there, I’m in the mirror, laughing my ass off) & if you’re in Denver make sure you come by the Estate LA Pop-Up store before it’s gone forever on New Year’s Eve.
