Slum Village’s Villa Manifesto EP, available now.

With the EP (shown above) steadily getting burn on the iPod, it’s dope to see these guys are readying the release of the long-play. Looking at a July 29th release; with features from J Dilla, De La Soul, Little Brother, Colin Munroe, Dwele & Phife. Hit the jump for the tracklist.

Oooh… last night, DJ House Shoes premiered this on Soundwaves KPFK. Shouts to CultureKing (via NR) on the heads up. Now… I need a CDQ!

Nick Speed (G-Unit Records/Libido Sounds) stopped by F.O.K.U.S. Radio with sneak peaks of his upcoming projects & some unreleased gems. Vaughan T of the Athletic Mic League & Lab Techs (please get familiar) also came through to chill and talk shop.

While most know Nick for his production work for the likes of 50, Kweli, etc., Sunday’s show gave us a taste of Nick Speed the artist. Check the YouTube clips and show audio for previews of Nick’s solo debut This Side Of The Speaker (set to drop in May).

Nick also announced that he’ll be producing Blue Raspberry (!) of Wu-Tang fame’s next album. Blue will be going by the name of Candy Green, and the album is tentatively titled Candy Green: A Blue Raspberry Story.

Towards the close of the show, Nick let loose a vintage eLZhi demo track.

Now this is pretty dope. eLZhi decided to break down each song from The Leftovers Unmixedtape and provide us with some pretty interesting stories. Hit the jump for his words on The Great; Deep; Red, Black and Green; and Dream.
