‘Future’s Past’ is a collection of material circa 09- present that I did not have exact destinations for. It is apart of the C.O.R.E.(collection of rejected excellence) series started by Blu and carried on by Sene and I a few years back. My first C.O.R.E. release was Tomorrow’s Yesterday, this is the follow up….Some songs were cut from my debut project, ‘Before I Awoke’, and other songs were leaked on to blogs during the last year or so….I have dropped a lot of random material and I wanted to put it all on one project so heads who may have missed the leaks the first time get a chance to hear the songs..This is not my official mixtape, I’ll be dropping that in the next month or so. The ‘Sleep Walking’ mixtape will feature 16 new songs, all original production, followed by my debut, Before I Awoke, being released on Tres records early summer. Thanks to all who take time out of their day to support the music, your support is truly appreciated.
With his upcoming mixtape “Sleepwalking” and Tres Records debut “Before I Awoke” to be released in 2011, Co$$ premieres his latest offering “The Future’s Past: A Collection of Rejected Excellence” on March 16th. This new project from the Leimert Park artist features production from Beatnick Dee, Godlee Barnes, The Soul Academy and Chief. Joining Co$$ on “The Future’s Past” are Aloe Blacc, Blu, Sene & Akademiks.
As promised, here goes the remix to Sene’s Metropolispeaker single. And like I said on the original post, this track comes with a special cause. I’m gonna let Sene tell it.
Meet Michael Mekhi Holloway, 6. Currently, this happy kid we call Mekhi is living at Mattel’s Children Hospital at UCLA. He’s been living there for about three months while waiting on transplant lists for multiple organs. While on a visit to LA recently I got to catchup with little guy and his mom. While it is a rough time for everyone nowadays, things are extra rough on this single mother family. Alma, his mother, has not been able to work as a result of her presence daily in the hospital. The story goes on..but rather than taking you through the rest of the gut wrenching story; here is how you can help.
As most of the music this group hits you with is free, this remix will be for sale at Sene’s bandcamp. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Mekhi and his family to aid in this rough time.
For the first video off of Revelations, the Mupalia Pictures-directed visuals tie into the song’s concept of time running out. Utilizing this concept, Co$$ and Sene play the roles of smoked-out Funeral Home workers frantically trying to deliver a body on time.
I remember when, while we were in Miami, when they were trying to shoot this video high out of their motherfucking minds. Good times.
Rock On is a song that was meant to be on my Before I Awoke debut LP being released next year on Tres records. I had so many records I wanted to keep, if it was up to me I’d put out a double LP on some All Eyes On Me shit. I got some joints in the stash that I’ll be dropping on 2dope between now and the release of the LP next year. This is one of my favorite records from the batch that I cut from the official tracklist. Also, download the Revelations mixtape produced entirely by Numonics and look out for the StackChipStatus EP, a prequel to my Before I Awoke LP. Thanx for the support… C$$
As most of y’all know, the dopeboyz invaded Miami this past weekend. Having our hand in two (quite successful) events at the Transit Lounge. Up first was the release party for Co$$ and Numonics’ Revelations project, in which Sene and Blu joined in on the festivities. Two days later, Tanya Morgan teamed up with ArtOfficial to do nothing but rock the house. I had never witnessed AO’s live set so I put the camera down during their showcase. The rest of the weekend is documented after the jump though.
