Blame it on Shake | January 31, 2008 | Comments Off
Again, not one to post songs with a “DJ” but Smallz has never been bad with his. Just a random Southern Smoke drop in the beginning and end. Twista rocks over this as well. Oh and Shake always has “extra” so here’s a bonus Twista solo joint [via Lowkey].
Now THIS is how you start your morning off. An email from the homeboy eskay with new joints from Blu & Ta’Raach (together as C.R.A.C. Knuckles). Some might recall Ta’Raach as he has a guest spot on Below the Heavens (Juicen’ Dranks). In which I stated was the only down fall to the album [check my review]. I never said it to be the weakest joint because by itself it’s dope. It just didn’t fit on the album. These guys are rocking an entire LP, The Piece Talks, dropping in April. Be sure to cop it!
I hate to post songs that have a DJ (especially Clue) yelling over the track, but … it’s a Timbo & Hov collaboration. You can’t go wrong with that. This is off the upcoming DJ Clue mixtape, Desert Storm Radio 8: I Am Legend. Shouts to Lowkey for this, a good man you are hahaha. I’m gonna include a “stream” link as well. If any of you are like me, you have no use for a DJ’d track on your PC. You gotta hear this regardless. Oh and the MAIN reason I posted this … looks like this is a joint off Blueprint 3. Yes … you read it right. See ya’ll next post!
So after finishing a few projects, my dude sends me this video [via RTNC]. It features a masked character reading Jack Davey’s (1/2 of the incredible J*Davey) Manifesto to the Music industry (typed version after the jump). An open letter to the head honchos and little lemmings (and all between) for supporting the shitty artists that are standing over the true talent. Calling out the “big wigs” and saying their creative minds are as empty as the music that they are shoving down our throats. Stating their opinions on the internet and how it’s killing the industry, when it is IN FACT giving us a chance to hear something artistic and different…
New video from the Fat Elephant, that’s in the room. AIGHT, it’s time to bail … I’ve gotta knock out some projects. These last 4-5 posts should hold you off. I’ve got more on deck…
Damn, so today is a bit busy aye? Brief breakdown of this post … Jean Grae & 9th Wonder recorded a collaboration album, Jeanius, some time back. The roughly mixed advance leaked and the project was basically shut down. Until now, years later, an official release is going down! So today I present you with two new masted, full version tracks off the retail version of Jeanius. (Yes I know Love Thirst has been on the internets for a few weeks).
New video from the incredibly dope emcee, Blu. This joint is off his Lifted EP and never made it to Below the Heavens. Directed by Dan Shepard & Fernando Chavez, shot in Long Beach.
