FOOTAGE/INTERVIEW: DIAMOND DISTRICT, TREK LIFE & QUARTERMAINE W/ STOLEN MOMENTS

The homies over at SpineTV sent us over some cool footage of the DMV’s own Diamond District while they were over in Berlin ripping shit up. It always amazes me how a group like DD can have a stupid big sellout crowd overseas but find it much more difficult to draw the same amount of people here in the states. We at Blind I hope to be a catalyst for change in that department though! Indulge.

VIDEO: BAMBU – SLOW DOWN FT. PROMETHEUS BROWN

My homie Bambu does it again, and this one snuck up on me. Straight off his new EP Paper Cuts Bam speaks on the continual change of the urban landscape through gentrification and racism. And always making it fam business he has emcee Pro-Brown of the Blue Scholars get down on a verse. And some legit eskrima in action? Shit, slow down homie.

Cop the album and merch here.

NO KNOWS DOPE | FEB 20X

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

This has been some years in the making. I have been wanting to dedicate my Feb NKD’s to Jay Dee since I started doing NKD but it’s always been so difficult to pick n choose my favorite songs from my favorite artist, in this case it being Mr.Yancey himself. I literally sat there and debated heavily over some heaters & had to narrow it down to 40 of my most loved Dilla beats of all time. True Dilla fans should have the majority of this months edition, however like I said, I took my all time faves & put em in one home. Some – the actual songs, some – just the beats. This is for the faithfuls, so with that being said there isn’t a back cover this month. No track list either. It’s ALL DILLA PRODUCED! So from here on out… get used to Feb being like this.

TEEDRA MOSES-ROYAL PATIENCE…A LOVE JOURNEY

Teedra Moses is back on the circuit with a new Valentine’s Day gem. Complex Simplicity will always be my favorite, but this mixtape gets closer to the groove she debuted with.
