Last Thursday (March 28th) Black Hippy’s Puffy took over Lower Manhattan for a pair of sold-out shows at SOBS, performing his Oxymoron single “Yay Yay” for the first time. Check out some of the dopehouse’s shots of the event down bottom.
In preparation of the release of Yasiin and Mannie Fresh’s upcoming LP, OMFGOD, we are blessed with the first leak, Black Jesus over some minimalist Mannie Fresh production. 2Fresh, 2Dope. Hit the jump for a video of Yasiin performing the song in Phoenix, Arizona.
I originally took a few months off from digging to shift my focus on jumping out of planes for fun, but as any digger knows, once you get that bug, it never leaves you. It becomes a part of who you are. Before I took time off from looking through dingy crates, I started to get a little lazy with it, so when I made my return, I went straight to the overstock bins underneath where I found stackloads of gems. One lucky find is the album Maybe (pictured above) by The Three Degrees which I found SEALED. Granted, it’s not the rarest record but I was glad I found it in mint condition, especially considering the story of how it made it’s way all the way out to Hawaii. Enjoy the two cuts below, sampled by two of Hip-Hop’s greatest producers. Shameless plug: Instagram – @Justice__67.
