TiRon & DJ Low Key – Ketchup drops on 2/24…

February 20, 2009 / / No comments

&

DROPPING TUESDAY, 2/24 -> In the words of Shake from 2dopeboyz.com “I’m not a huge fan of posting snippets, but I’ve had the full version of this for too long not to let something from it go. The track is just like 95% of anything else TiRon has released… dope as hell. I honestly don’t understand why there isn’t a larger buzz surrounding the kid. Dah well… it will come soon enough. Ketchup drops next Tuesday (February 24th) right here at the dopehouse; mixed by DJ Low Key. Video is on the way as well.”

.:TiRon featuring Ayomari “3 Drink Minimum (snippet)”:.

You might already know LA’s TiRon from his excellent rapper tape, Handshakes & Pounds, from a year or so back, his work with Pac Div (“Paper”, “She” & more), his track with Blu (“All The Kings Men”) or his mention as part of the “Class of 2009” on BET.com.  If not, get your google on, check TiRon’s myspace page & mark the 24th on your calendar so you can catch up.

Tanya Morgan, me & Aeon took over XM Radio before Sirius did…Check us out on Subsoniq…

January 30, 2009 / / No comments

Last summer, the day before the XM/Sirius merger, TM, me & Aeon all recorded an episode of Subsoniq Radio while we were in DC on the Hiero tour.  With the merger shaking things up, the episode didn’t get to air as scheduled this summer and just aired last week, here’s the MP3 links in case you missed it.

We talked about the tour, the TM/88 Keys collabs, TM’s acclaimed Bridge EP & a lot more, and Subsoniq officially premiered Aeon’s ridiculous Wale “Good Girls” remix.  Also, make sure you stay tuned to Subsoniq Radio w/Doc & KB, it’s one of the best hip hop shows on the air (and shouts to the homie Nate Geezie too).

Say hi to the haters….U-N-I & Ro Blvd “Hollywood Hiatus” & some videos…

December 20, 2008 / / No comments

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…

.:U-N-I & Ro Blvd “Hollywood Hiatus” from their upcoming album, A Love Supreme:.

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…

Exile is the man…Videos, interviews, music & a mix for Red Bull Music Academy Radio to prove it…

December 18, 2008 / / No comments

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…

Aeon Got Beats Volume 1 & more…

December 17, 2008 / / No comments

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…

BONUS: The OMGz (Che Grand, Donwill & Aeon) “Make You A Star” from Che Grand & DJ Low Key – Limited Edition:The Fixtape

U-N-I & Ro Blvd – A Love Supreme Hour podcast on Urb.com…

November 10, 2008 / / No comments

First off, I gotta admit I’m biased. Ro Blvd has been a good friend for years and a few days ago I finally linked up with Y-O & Thurzday a.k.a. U-N-I (pause?), grabbing breakfast at 3 am while they were out here in Denver. Anyway, these three cats are good dudes, a part of the crazy new scene that’s popped off over the last few years in LA and after being featured as “Unsigned Hype” in the Source, being called “the new Outkast” in Billboard Magazine, winning “Best LA Breakout Artist” at the MTV VMAs & tons more critical acclaim I guess I’m not the only one who’s a fan.  Their upcoming album, A Love Supreme, is gonna be one of the best to drop in 2009, I promise (check out my preview of the record here).  Anyways, here’s the “A Love Supreme Hour”  podcast they recorded last week for Urb Magazine to give you a taste of the record, a sample of what they’re listening to and hold you over til A Love Supreme drops. Enjoy…
