Happy B Day to the homey Donwill….He’s got a present for y’all though…

June 4, 2008 / / No comments

So today is Donwill’s birthday and being the nice guy that he is, he decided to give everyone else a present to celebrate. Suburban Sprawl is an album that him and a super talented producer by the name of SuhBURB have been workin on over the last couple of years and today they posted it up for the world. If you checked out my Mixing In Action #2 tape or Beat Thieves 2 with Ilwil then you got a chance to hear “rough” versions of a few of the songs from the album early. Anyways, this album is Don & BURB’s fully realized concept and while the sound is a little more out there than the rough versions and Don’s Ilwil/Tanya Morgan output (maybe you can tell by the cover), trust that SuhBURB is CRUSHIN beats on some evil genius iddish and Donwill is a supa MC (c) De La. Last but not least, make sure to cop Tanya Morgan’s new EP, the Bridge, it’s RIDICULOUS.

“It’s worth more than any label or what they pay/I’m here to save hip hop ’cause it’s dying away”

June 1, 2008 / / No comments

Right after it was first announced that Ghostface & MF Doom were linkin up, the internet went nuts for a snippet of an AMAZING song called “Charlie Brown” on the Fishscale sampler. Between a dope Doom beat, top notch insanity on the verses from Tony Starks & an awesome hook (“hey hey/what you say/this is real hip hop on the line today/it’s worth more than any label or what they pay/I’m here to save hip hop ’cause it’s dying away), the whole track banged. Fast forward a few years and the original “Charlie Brown” never ended up getting an official release, then a couple months back it popped up as a collection of remixes courtesy of Scion. I stumbled onto the remixes right around SXSW and had been playing them out some, then the homey Berk (who was involved in the the project) sent me an e-mail asking me to pass along the remixes to y’all the other day. So with no further delay->

Camp Lo & Big Wheel “B-Side To Hollywood (Live at Vinyl, Denver, CO)”

May 7, 2008 / / No comments
On February 8th, history was made when Camp Lo not only played with a live band for the first time, but took it a step further & performed every track from their classic debut, Uptown Saturday Night, for the first time. Dameion Hines aka DJ Check One aka Dwele’s drummer aka the mastermind behind the award winning band Future Jazz Project brought out his new band Big Wheel (complete with trumpet & sax) to play every track from Uptown Saturday Night, plus a couple of gems from their other albums & their ridiculous new single “Lumdi” at Vinyl’s Refresh Fridays w/me & Sounds Supreme for a packed house, it was a night to remember.  Anyways, I already posted pics & talked about the show a few months back, but I finally got some audio from the show that I had to post.  I can’t put it all up, but here’s a little sample ->
Camp Lo/Sounds Supreme/Dameion Hines/me
(big up Vell on the pic)
* Sorry about the annoying drops but after all the work that I put in organizing the show, I’m not about to get jacked for the audio.  And by the way, make sure to cop the new Camp Lo aka the Lo album later this year, you know it’s gonna be dope.

Time to cop Median’s Relief…And no, I don’t get paid off his album sales…

September 24, 2007 / / No comments

“Median’s Relief/will it ever hit the streets?” (c) The man himself…Well the world’s been waiting and Median’s debut album, Relief, is finally out…And the album is a monster, check out some of the early feedback and reviews here and here…Chances are that if you know me, then you’re familiar with Justus League member Median from the Relief In The Making mixtape we dropped with 9th Wonder a couple months back (25,000+ people have already downloaded it from here, check it out if you haven’t already) or my Mixing In Action #1 mixtape from early last year…In that case you know about dude’s RIDICULOUS talent and that his album is easily worth dropping twelve bucks for online or at your local independent/moms & pops record store/Angelo’s/Fat Beats/Best Buy/etc, so take a minute and pick it up…

It seems like the real heads have been supporting quality albums more than ever (Com debuting at #1/Blu & Exile gettin love on iTunes/Kanye crushing 50/Kweli dropping at #2/etc), hopefully you guys add Median to that list, his album is in the same class as all those I just mentioned…Anyways, enough talk, Median is one of those artists whose music sells itself, just listen…
