Blind I Exclusive
HAYLING – BLUE DREAM
With his album Take Cover ready to drop around the New Year, musician extraordinaire, Hayling takes a break from his steady grind to bless the faithful with a Blind I Exclusive entitled “Blue Dream”. The track flirts with the idea of being laid back, then fun & loungey with the lowkey romantic midnight keys Hayling applies over his 80′s steez drums creating a soothing melodic groove that narrates a spark of interest in something even bigger. I for one am ready to hop in the load & enjoy me some Blue Dream in more ways than one, I highly suggest that you do the same.

BLIND I ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: FRANCIS AND THE LIGHTS
The music world is gradually starting to fixate on Francis and the Lights. Though Francis Farewell Starlite’s precise vocals and electric sound is undeniable, there is still an element of mystery looming around him like a force field. Clad in a black ensemble and his signature coif, Francis sat quietly backstage at Manhattan’s Santos Party House. His piercing eyes panned across the room as he reflected on the seemingly accelerated journey of his group. Befitting to the notion that entertainers come alive when they perform, Francis radiated as he glided across the stage with agility. In that moment, audience members were transformed into magnets. Blind I was fortunate enough to catch up with him before the raucous crowd indulged in their energetic set.

J DILLA & ILLA J – SHAKE IT DOWN PT.2
Last Friday the bay had the pleasure of seeing Illa J perform tracks off the Yancey Boys album as well as his brothers songs for a tribute. One of the songs Illa J performed was this song down below. I had thought I heard everything Dilla related till I heard this. I mean, the beat I heard, then I heard Pac Div on it, then on the actual release it was Baatin, but THIS version is J Dilla AND his lil bro Illa J spittin on it. It’s a remix/sequel to the song Shake It Down off Dilla’s BBE release, Welcome To Detroit. After the show, when G-Wrex, Stacey, Illa & myself were smoking blunt #476 I asked him if he could send it to me. He did, & this morning I had to send a text asking if I could post it on here for y’all to hear as well. I aint giving you shit, but u can listen to it all u want right here & eNjOy!
…& don’t forget to… TURN IT UP!
