When you want to talk wordplay and delivery prowess, there is no artist better to check out then the Mighty Mos Def. Almost a similar vibe to the track Taxi that people are eager for on Ski Beatz 24 Hour Karate School, Check out this video and snippet of his track called White Drapes that will appear on Michael Sterling Eaton's album Mictape Volume 1. It'll feature the usual suspects like Mos Def, The Cool Kids, Curren$y, Stalley, and plenty more. Music, as usual, is making moves. Once again, are you on board?

Smoke DZA presents: Marley and Me Remix
The homie Smoke DZA out of Harlem put out an ill tape awhile ago called Substance Abuse with enough good music to keep it on repeat. One of the tracks on there was called Marley and Me (No relation to the movie) Feat Devin The Dude and Curren$y Spitta. Well, after teaming up with Creative Control, were fortunate enough to see the video for the song...IN THE REMIX. The remix uses the same beat and brought to the visual eye featuring Asher Roth and June Summers on the hook.
Also see the cameos from Nipsey Hu$$le, Dame Dash, Cory Gunz, Hash, Jonny Shipes, Va$htie, Sacha Jenkins, Shiest Bubz, Push Montana, The Kidd Daytona & Cuzzin Todd.

Curren$y x Tony Castles: Audio Dope
Check out this rendition of the track Audio Dope put over a rock beat with Tony Castles at The St. James Church. Apparently the Don Cannon x Curren$y Spitta: Smokey Robinson tape is dropping on the day of the Superbowl so expect a post and link to that immediately. This will be his first tape of 2010 so expect big things from it. Also he will have plenty of features on Ski Beatz of the DD172 group 24 Hour Karate School dropping really soon.

I Don't Wanna Ill...I Just Wanna Chill
Coming up on 23 years of age in 2010, I'm starting to really feel my age when it comes to a lot of things. For example, I just can't go to bed at 3 and wake up at 7 feeling like a brand new man as I did when I was a freshman in college. Father Time is sitting there laughing at me because he knows the wear and tear I've put on my sleep cycle.
But I digress, my main thing is that my night plans have definitely matured over the years. Like large Professor says "I dont wanna ill, I just wanna chill" and thats the whole idea for a good evening for me. You can miss me with all of those parties where you have the labels of:
The Loose Girl making out with everyone
The Token Black Guy
Beer Muscles Guy
The Fine Chick at the party that everyones scared to talk to
The "We dont fit in" folks
Then The Music:
iPod DJ's
Terrible live bands
The Radio (commercials and everything)
Lil Wayne and Drake cuts all night
and the something for everybody mixes (Play Biggie, then Counting Crows. huh?)
I've gotten to the point where I will be extremely picky and wont do atmospheres because there is just to much goin on. Get me to the night spot where everyone is maxin and relaxin, sippin with no trippin, and chillin with no illin. Music Vibes? smart and sultry, just right for the evening.
Those nights are the ones you remember and make you want to do it again the next night.

Pete Rock and InI: Center of Attention

When it comes to the Hip Hop, crate digging for me comes second nature. I guess you could say im digging everyday due to the fact that the mainstream game is full of nonsense. You already know how I feel if I haven't stated it enough. So a few months ago I was searching around some Pete Rock productions and came up on this collab with him and the group InI.
This album Center of Attention is a MUST HAVE. Besides Pete Rock throwing down on the beats, InI: Rob-O, Grap Luva (Pete's younger brother), I Love H.I.M., Marco Polo (not the hip-hop producer), and DJ Boodakhan, rap on a smooth and knowledgeable level. Tracks such as Fakin Jax and Square One offer an insight on how they felt the Hip Hop game was going back in 1996. To me, I saw it as a sort of omen on the Hip Hop Game. Check out the album because its definitely a front to back....and back to front listen. Take a look at the video for Fakin Jax below and follow the link for the download. (Buy it online if you have the bread as well!)

Back in The Mire They Call The Blog World
Ok yall, Sorry for the temporary break in the Blog World. I took an extended vacation in order to try to get my content together for 2010. Plus alot of stuff jumped off that I knew every blog was going to try and claim "they had first" and since I don't get down with lying to yall about news and info, as well as selling a dream that I had it first, I had to lay off. To be honest, the blog world is cluttered with a lot of wannabes, gossipers, liars, and plagiarizers and it's definitely on the annoying. In my mind, I'm trying to bring yall something relevant for 2010 like info on music, fashion, and "Real Life Situations." As I see it in my mind...Not someone elses. 2010 is gonna be fun yall and to the rest of the fakers I only have one saying. Take It E Z
