KAMELEON BEATS-MIDNIGHT SUN

For those of you who tune into our Artist Spotlights regularly, Kameleon Beats is a familiar name. The Cali-born Philly-based producer just released an instrumental album, Midnight Sun, which was inspired by the four seasons. Definitely mood music to groove to.

GUILTY SIMPSON

Not to toot the Blind I horn, but we CONSISTENTLY provide the freshness for your listening pleasure. The freshness transcends musical genres. The Blind I staff is ever-evolving, so in synch with a new artist we coin a new term: Blind Eyes. That would be you- our fans. The dopest, illest, opinionated set of music heads on the net! And if you’re loyal, you’ve been bumping last month’s highlight, Brandon Hines and his smooth crooning, and you will continue to do so.

But now it’s time to get muh fuckin GRIMEY up in this batch!

Blind I would like to respecognize

GUILTY SIMPSON

Guilty is a MC’s MC. Well @ least for me he is. He first came to my attention when J Dilla put him on a remix he did for Four Tet entitled “As Serious As Your Life”. I’m sure he has some other catalog prior to this song, but since then, I have been checking for GS.

Guilty has worked with numerous cats (shout to Raekwon hahaha) from the Great J Dilla, Black Milk, Phat Kat, Madlib, The Heilocentrics, Percee P, Skyzoo & the list goes on & on.

Check Him out at Stones Throw

NICOLAY

Whattup Kids!!

It’s about that time for us to shine the blind light upon yet another incredible individual, & this time around we are shining it on none other than Nicolay!!

I had the honor & pleasure of meeting Nicolay, along with His lovely wife to be Aimee (thanks again for everything!!) & conducted my first ever interview. We met up @ the hotel prior to his performance @ Boombox (peep the excerpts from the show “As The World Turns” and “The Gunshot”) & just started choppin it up, until realizing that, the whole time we were just chillin, the interview had begun.

one problem.

we didnt think to start filming (thanks for reminding us Aimee! hahaha)

so forgive me cuz i had a plethora of questions to ask him, but didn’t get around to allot of them. All in all… aside from my stupidity on cam & overall wackness… Nic was great!

Thus… without further adu… I present to you Our 1st video interview with Nicolay…

ARTIST: NICOLAY - INTERVIEWER: NO - FILMED & EDITED: KENNY CHEN

As always, We here @ Blind I like to provide a special compilation of our artists that we like to spotlight, dont sleep!

& as a added bonus, Nicolay has given Blind I an **exclusive song** (found ONLY on blind i) from the upcoming album Timeline.

It is entitled “Gunshot” & features Chip Fu (remember the Fu Schnickens?). You can peep the song in our pop out player on the main page

ENJOY!!!Â

Before You all crucify me, I just want to let everyone up in this batch know, that I asked Nic earlier this week the question you all want to know… & the answer is… THIS SUMMER.

& for those up on game… u know wtf I’m speakin on!

UBER SPECIAL THANKS TO NICOLAY & AIMEE ONCE AGAIN FOR ALL YOUR HELP & NEWLY AQUIRED FRIENDSHIP!!
