Just a few tracks I’ve been rocking to for the last couple, wrapped up in 2 big ass burritos of download. Hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed making it. Yitidee!

BLACK MILK-WELCOME (GOTTA GO)

I got a little thing for Black Milk. I’ll admit it. When he came through our SXSW showcase I made a beeline in his direction (and the guys on the staff noticed lol). Eye candy matters aside, here’s the first single from his upcoming release, Album of the Year.  Not only is he super talented and carrying the torch for Detroit, but Tronic was such a heater.  I’m eager to peep the progress. Give it a gander and let us know what you think.

BLIND I SAYS GO! JUNE 2010

What can I say, I was anxious to drop this one. A truckload of heat was made readily available this last week, and therefore I HAD to incorporate it all into this month’s Blind I Says GO! The motivation behind this one was fresh & new, meaning the wardrobe has been flipped, the summer is here, and it’s time to work hard and play hard. We’re talking new joints from Kid Cudi, Drake, Black Milk, Vic Spencer and I, Gil Scott-Heron, Kanye West, Phil Adé, Francis and the Lights, The Roots, Talib Kweli, Sean Price, Black Sheep, Mark Ronson, Janelle Monaé, Alicia Keys, Hollyweerd, Dirty Money, and Dam Funk. Whoa. Time to indulge….

NO KNOWS DOPE | MARCH 20X

This month I decided to flip the script & keep it off this NKD. Get it? No scripts… just beats. Thus, No Knows Beats! From my favorite producers past, present & future. This cover is quite special to me as well because it is a painting of me done by my brother like no other Dee Jae Pa’este of Konscious Klothing & he was kind enough to let me use it for this months NKD art. (I mean… IT IS ME tho hahahaha). I have been bumping this all day while I was working on the back cover & it is damn good designing music… or work music… or whatever you use it for. Burn a CD, drop it on your mp3 players & cypher with your homies while you cruise the block or BBQ it up… or just stfu & listen.

A list of who’s on this batch & the DL after the J…
