DJ MENSA – SEASONS CHANGE

New seasons are coming this way here in Cali going from mostly sunny to cold & sunny …that was a joke, Voila!  I guess I can’t complain, the east coast is much colder.  Anyway I ran across this fresh lil mix from our dude out of Toronto DJ Mensa called seasons change. I usaully  shy away from long mixes but this one rides very nice . Check it out and let me know what you think.

“I let songs breathe, as they’re all deserved to be heard and the vibe is deserved to be felt. Some synths. Some Lo-Fi. A bunch of recognizable names. A couple unknowns. 33 tracks. 81 minutes. In the words of Stretch Armstrong, this mix is “chonky.”  DJ Mensa

FAT BEATS IN-STORE PERFORMANCE SCHEDULES [LA]

So you already know the deal & how we feel about the whole departure of the Fat Beats stores. Sucks. But not really cuz they still are going to be doing big thangs in various formats, so I guess it’s cool & growth & all that other jazz. Anyways, the NYC farewell jump off was filled to the brim of dope artists who had made Fat Beat NYC their home so it is only fitting that they mirror the same for the LA farewell & as you can see to the right (click pic to enlarge), that they are NOT playin! I mean DAMN!!! I know the NBA will be playing the All Star game @ Staples this season but this schitt right here my ninja? This is LA’s All Star Hip Hop fest for the ages! You got OG spitters from LA’s underground elite from Erule to Volume 10,  to LA’s G’d up from the chucks up spitters MC Eiht to Kurupt, a face melt of beats from LA producers Dibiase to Exile as well as a performace from the Gawdz of LA style Freestyle Fellowship! That aint even scratching the surface tho! Peep the line up for each day & plan accordingly. You’re welcome. Below is my favorite song from Erule  & still in my top 10 all time Hip Hop songs ever.

Erule – Listen Up
