Live from the home of (2)Dope Radio, PNC Studios in Brooklyn, BET gathered together a couple familiar faces for a day of BBQ, blaps provided by !LLmind and rhymes.

A little late notice, I know. But I have two pairs of tickets to check out CunninLynguists, Homeboy Sandman, Tonedeff and Blue Sky Black Death live at the El Rey in Los Angeles tonight at 10pm. If you can honestly make it and would like to attend a super dope show, hit the c-section and announce your favorite song from any of the artists (along w/ your correct email). I’ll pick two winners for a +1 and I’ll hit you asap.

Kno just hit me and gave me the go ahead to give away a few tickets to tonight’s show at Slim’s in San Francisco. I’ll make this one easy on y’all… just hit the c-section and recite your favorite line from any of the artists listed above. Make sure you include your actual email in the correct field and be around so that I can get in contact with you (if you’re you’re chosen that is). Good luck.

And in case you need a visual reminder of how dope these guys are live, check here, here and here. Hell… type “CunninLynguists” in the sidebar to your right and have at it.

Although this is the first time Jesse Abraham and Homeboy Sandman have coexisted on a song, they are long-time musical collaborators. Initially appearing on stage together in 2008, JA and Sandman went on to rock dozens of venues together, including NYC staples such as The Nuyorican and Joe’s Pub, as well as the reputable SXSW Festival. These two unique emcees come together on “Always & Forever” produced by K.O. Beatz, featuring additional vocals by Corina Corina. The song will appear on Jesse Abraham’s revamped One Day project, dropping June 14th via DJBooth.net.

Me and Snafu met Homeboy Sandman when we were all guests on Billy Jam’s show on WFMU last Spring. I had baked cupcakes to bring to the radio station because I heard there were going to be a lot of rappers there and I thought it would be funny to do something so un-hip-hop, cause rappers are always mean to each other unnecessarily. So I was going to come through like, ‘hey guys, I baked cupcakes for everybody.’ Anyway, while we were up there, Billy played ‘Mean Mug’ from Homeboy Sandman’s album and I was like ‘Oh, he’s on that shit too.’ We ended up going to his album release party and he came to ours, and so when Snafu and Scott started making the beats for ‘Phoenix Down’ we immediately thought of getting Boy Sand on the album. Sometime over the summer we got up and recorded this one.
