NO KNOWS DOPE | NO KNOWS BEATS 2 | JANUARY 20XI

This year marks the 5th anniversary of my No Knows Dope series (HOLY MEGABYTES BATMAN THE FIF’ YEAR!)… blessed! Thank you all for your continuous support of the NKD franchise as well as all the other $tunta$tic original compilations that the rest of the Blind I staff offers. Last years NKD concept was fun being able to do each month dedicated to one of my all time favorite artists or themes. This years method to the NKD madness is simple. Genres & sub-genres (according to me that is) all mixed & glitched by my good friend/brother & DJ W1shOne. This months edition is a sequel to last years No Knows Beats & this one is str8 up exclusive thruout! FIAH! All purpose music right here! 110% skip proof! I want to send some special Jedi respecognition to all my friends (I, Ced & Black Spade of Hawthorne Headhunters, SquareWeezy of The Bangerz, Haz Solo, Max Kane, Teeko, Malaguti & Colin Brown of 4OneFunk/F.A.M.E., Seven Davis Jr., DJ Dskrybe of Trademark, REL of D2S, Hayling, Waajeed and W1shOne & Sol Plus 10 of Sub Ren who came thru for me by blessing me with never before heard or released beats. I hope you enjoy this mix as much as W1sh & I had putting it together. This is only the beginning… 11 more to go! Stay TUNEd.

COULTRAIN-GODMUSTBEABOOGIEMAN EP

So many impressive hip hop projects have been released this year, but I’ve been secretly hoping more R&B would arrive in my inbox. Then St. Louis native, Coultrain, aka. Seymour Liberty answered my call with the EP GodMustBeABoogieMan. It’s Coultrain at his finest; soulful voice echoing through the speakers, making each track feel like a summer lullaby.  He collaborated with Black Spade, Teeko, J1 and others. The tracklist, artwork and all of the goodness is contained in the zip. Partake!

BLACK SPADE – THE DAY WE LANDED [ BEAT TAPE ]

Stop the Presses!
My good energy friend Black Spade hit me up last night with exciting news . He wanted to blessed us with this exclusive beat tape entitled “THE DAY WE LANDED”. An intergalactic, futuristic, space-tastic funk, soul & hip hop groove suite of beats brought to you by some cats that are truly out of this world… The kicker is that it’s free for all the Blind I family! That’s right ya’ll!! Blind I puts out the love and receives the love. He plans on selling the new beat tape on band camp, BUT because he knows the blind I family are true connoisseurs of good music and great supporters. He wanted to give a little back to those that stay in the kNOw. Ya dig… Send the homie Spade good energy for always keeping it fresh.

Oh and dont forget to go get that “Build & Destroy” too… with “Runnin Gunnin” featured on the latest MEEZY LISTENIN’ vol 11.

WE’RE JUST DISAPPOINTED – VIC SPENCER & SULAIMAN

It is my pleasure to drop this dope collaborative  effort from my brother and fellow BLIND I FOR THE KIDS affiliate Sulaiman in association with BRAINIAC SOCIETY’s very own Vic Spencer entitled ‘ WE’RE JUST DISAPPOINTED’…..The project is a lyrical embodiment of the frustration stemming from two outliers navigating a realm of scene hoes, wack rappers, janky promoters, anonymous blog comments, and all-around bitch-assness. They’ve seen what the status quo has to offer, and frankly, they’re Just Disappointed.

With stellar production from M. Stacks, Black Spade, Statik Selektah, Constrobuz, NAMELESS, Nez & Rio, Maja 7th, Beat Maker Beat, and features from Naledge of Kidz In The Hall, Simeon of The Primeridian, Alex P. Keaton, D2G, Yung Word Mann, and Gzus Piece, Vic & Sulaiman are able to vividly depict the definition of Disappointment in a manner that everyone can relate to. 13 tracks of dope shit, tailor made to make a change by actually BEING the change. Peep “Feel Better” to get a sample of some of the heat that this album is packin … HEAT!

BRAVO!
