.:Download Jenesis Magazine – The Movement Volume 3 (mixed by DJ Low Key):.

Jenesis Magazine is, in my humble opinion, one of the only hip hop publications that has any semblance of quality control or actual sense of what’s good in 2012.  They’ve been consistently covering what’s new and dope years before the XXLs of the world, so if you’re not already familiar, head on over to JenesisMagazine.com to learn more about what your friends with be excited about in 2013…LOL.

But before you do, take a quick minute to download The Movement Volume 3, the latest in their series of annual mixtapes.  It’s a mix of new artists they featured in the last year or so and follows in the footsteps the first two volumes, mixed by Pittsburgh legends DJ Nugget and the homie DJ Bonics (Wiz Khalifa’s DJ, among other accolades).  So anyways, hit the links below to get a taste of the Movement, you’ll be glad you did.  Last but not least, shouts to Jenesis Magazine for supporting the new music I think is great, for featuring me in their DJ issue last year and for reaching out to me to mix their annual tape.

In TiRon’s words: Before we drop DJ Dahi’s instrumental project “Toys” we grabbed all of the work he’s done with other artists and compiled a mixtape called “Show & Tell” mixed by DJ Low Key.  He’s done some of the most important records in my catalogue and we just want you to understand who Dahi was and how incredible he is.

#COHipHop Classic: Chill “Yenshee” from No Coast Line

The homie DJ Chonz recently posted up this Colorado hip hop classic from way back in 1994.  It appeared on producer/Radio Bums co-founder Hakeem’s No Coast Line album, along with some other #COHipHop gems.  Chonz called Chill the “Hands down #1 emcee out of CO” and after witnessing him freestyle in person and hearing joints like this and “Dying To Live”, I’m inclined to agree.  Anyways, the track aged well; take a listen and check out one of the best MCs to ever come out of CO.

Stream the Foreign Exchange’s Denver debut from last month at Summit Music Hall on RBMARadio.com…The night was classic, I highly recommend you check this out…

Last month, I had the pleasure of working with the Red Bull Music Academy to bring the Foreign Exchange to Denver for their debut show out here in CO, as well as opening for the show.  The show was nothing short of incredible, everything from the vibe in the crowd to the sound to the band’s energy was just right and, through the magic of Red Bull Music Academy Radio, I have audio proof.  Check out the links below to stream the almost two hour long show that the band called one of their best ever.  Extra special thanks to the Red Bull Music Academy for making the show happen, the longtime homie Nicolay, the new homie Phonte, the incomparable Sy Smith (aka the “DJ Low Key” voice on my mixtape IDs), Zo, Aimee, the rest of the band, Summit Music Hall, Family Affair, DJ Squirt, Side 3, Brittney the Square, DJ Dozen and most importantly, everybody that came out, for helping make Monday, 3/14/2011 one of the best shows I’ve ever been to (as well as been a part of).  With that said, check out the links from RBMARadio.com below to stream the show it’s entirely:

For my DJ homies…Donwill – Laura’s Tape (Unmixed Version)…

In Don’s own words:

DOWNLOAD: Donwill – Laura’s Tape [Unmixed Version]

I been meaning to throw these on my Bandcamp for a minute. While Kingmost did the damn thing on Laura’s Tape a lot of my DJ friends have been asking about how can they get their hands on some of the songs to play out at clubs. Here they are. This only includes the R&B remake songs. The original joints are now available here along with bonus artwork and the Laura’s Song music video.

Flashback 10/17/08: Mickey Factz – Madlib: Beat Konducta Freestyles at the Solution MP3s…

From DenverSolution.com: In case you missed it back in October ‘08, we had 2009 XXL Freshman member and the newest member of Lupe Fiasco’s All City Chess Club crew, Mickey Factz, come through the Solution for a surprise visit.  We were having a release party for Madlib’s Beat Konducta Vol 5 & 6:A Tribute To Dilla that night and winding down everything when Mickey showed up around last call and proceeded to spit some off the top freestyles while an intoxicated DJ Low Key rocked Madlib beats.  Check out Mickey’s debut album later this year and download his Solution freestyles below:

*Co-sign on everything the Bay-area homie King Most is asking for below* & *Co-sign on King Most’s “I Do” edit, download it below*

“Dear Mr. 3 Stacks: How has your summer been? I see that your buddy Antwan dropped an album recently. Do you mind dropping some FULL-LENGTH material before the year ends? If not, I’m going to have to keep taking these random one-minute leaks and adding some of your other verses to make them sort of resemble full songs. I know you creative types, but come on..at least blow our wigs back with a guest verse a la “Walk It Out” or the above, “Everybody”. Thanks King Most

.:Andre 3000 “I Do (King Most Edit)”:.

P.S. Congrats to the Braves & Bobby Cox on a return to playoffs!!!  And I don’t know if you’re a Giants fan or not Most, but if so, prepare to go down!!!!!
