Late last year Blind I put action behind a dream which was to do an album with a handful of artists that we love. This was even before we went out to SXSW & did our Quality showcase. Our motto has always been “Quality Over Quantity,” & we take that very seriously around these parts. You can tell from each staff member’s individual comps to the posts we make. You can go to many sites & see the same thing. You come here & see something different. You have respecognized this since we stepped onto the scene 4 years ago and have become our beloved “faithful.” We appreciate you all. In honor of you all & for those who don’t know about the Blind I movement, we offer you Quality>Quantity The Album. This album features all brand new exclusive heat from 1-O.A.K., Black Spade, Brittany Street, Co$, Danny Brown, DaVinci, Dert, Devonwho, F.A.M.E, Haz Solo, House Shoes, iLL-Literacy, JimiJames, Joob, Joya Mooi, Noahdeeakili & Sulaiman (C’mon Son… like WE weren’t finna fitz to get on our own schitt), Onra, Penguin Prison, Peter Hadar, Shafiq Husayn, Shawn Jackson, Sonnymoon, Tabi Bonney, The Bangerz & The Primeridian.

HONOR ROLL + J*DAVEY LIVE TONIGHT [SF]

Tonight was legendary. Honor Roll brought out their extended family known to y’all as J*Davey & they did some schitt that you had to be there to see in order to understand the description of how fresh it was. The Homie Tap was pulling out all the stops @ no cost and THAT was fresh. These two powerhouses combined are doing something great, & anyone who is blessed to bare witness to it can’t help but to let everyone else they know about this freshness that is more than new, more than cutting edge, more than next level, more than anything else you can describe… you just feel it. Have you heard the remix to Slooow that Tracks did? NO?! Pssssshh.. nig…peep…
