MAR-SEEING HER NAKED EP
If you know who Mar is, you’d download this blindly. But, the visuals for the project (him playing a naked, female, human violin) add a little bit to the intrigue, no? You can always count on Mar to deliver a few things: a) creative videos that feel like mini-dramas b) beautiful songwriting and c) quality production. The Amsterdam singer teamed up with producers Full Crate and Mar for this Seeing Her Naked EP .It’s definitely mood music and he’s giving at away for free. Tracklisting after the jump. Partake!

KNXWLEDGE-KARMA.LOOPS.PRT.2
Did you download Karma.Loops.Prt.1? If not, we suggest you check it out before listening to the second installment just to get you in the groove. Short and sweet as usual.We unanimously enjoy his music so much, that we will create room for his stuff as it comes (hello, extra hard drive). Also if you like to go to live shows, Knx often posts flyers on his Twitter or Tumblr for events he does nationwide and abroad. Hearing the beats live with a good drink in hand sounds lovely.

VIDEO: BLACK MILK CLAPS & SLAPS TOUR EP: 1
Black Milk recently wrapped up his nationwide tour Claps & Slaps. Here’s some footage of him on the road discussing his musical influences and clips from his performances. Enjoy.
SONNYMOON-HOUSTONATLANTAVEGAS (WAAJEED REMIX)
When Sonnymoon dropped Golden Age, we were all blown away by their rendition of Drake’s “HoustonAtlantaVegas.” Blind I comrade Waajeed was just as impressed by the duo and inspired to do this remix of the track we all love so much. Waajeed’s version is and upbeat and it gives the song a party vibe. Sonnymoon is currently touring and I got a chance to catch up with them at Santos Party House in NYC. They performed some music from their new album and trust me when I say their fans definitely have a lot to look forward to. Hopefully in the future Waajeed and Sonnymoon will get in the studio together.

I first heard about Sonnymoon at SXSW while hanging with No and Meezy from blindiforthekids. They played their rendition of Drake’s, “Houstalantavegas” and I was instantly hooked.
Seeing that the duo doesn’t need a third leg producer, the only way I could work with them was do a remix. We connected, they sent the vocals, and the rest is history… or at least history in the making.
@sonnymoon I’d love to work with you guys more in the future. Mucho respect. Until then, check this bling47 exclusive gem. They have new material dropping this spring and currently on tour.
Check Plug Research for the dates.

HIATUS KAIYOTE-TAWK TOMAHAWK
The Blind I staff has a knack for finding gems, and we really thrive during the discovery process. This morning, my friend sent me this Tawk Tomahawk project from Hiatus Kaiyote. They’re a band based in Australia. It feels very Little Dragon-esque at points and channels Amy Winhouse and Janelle Monae at others. The artwork made me curious. The first song hooked me. And the whole thing was truly a pleasure to listen to. Hell, I even paid for it (which is so easy not to do these days). I’m very intrigued to learn more about the group, but I’m 100% certain Blind I faithfuls will dig it. Partake!

VIDEO: C-NOTE F/ DEM ONE, I-L TWICE & NOAH DEEAKILI- POWER OF THE THIRD #LATEPASS
The only thing worse than a late pass is when it’s a late and it’s the homie right? And what’s worse than being late for the homie is being late for the BLIND I HOMIE! Our very own Noah recently collaborated with Bay Area producer C-Note for his “The Power of The Third” single which also features Dem One & I-L Twice Get into it! And get into his group Sub Ren, which is definitely making waves in the Bay.
KNXWLEDGE-KARMA.LOOPS PT.1
Good Friday. Good music! Blind I favorite Knxwledge just dropped a new project called Karma.Loops.prt.1. And anytime you see the word “loops” you know what to expect from the beats (plus Knx. never disappoints, right)? As the great J. Dilla and many other producers have exhibited, the looping samples can make for some really amazing beats! If you copped each project he was releasing back to back last year, you should have a nice little collection by now. So add this to the mix and enjoy. Or as we say round here, partake.

PUTMEONIT PRESENTS WE LOVE VOL. 34
It’s hard to believe that our friends over at Putmeonit are on their 34th compilation in the We Love series. Ameliah Ideh, the founder, tweeted that this was her favorite one to date. This made me eager to check it out since they’re always filled with gems. The staff does an amazing job of pulling rock, hip hop, electronic and soul songs. Each mix really runs the gamut in a good way. Another refreshing aspect of these compilations is the amount of British artists that are sprinkled in there (the site is based in London). Check this one out and you’ll surely be exposed to some dope new tunes.

CHANCE THE RAPPER- 10 DAY
If you’ve been paying attention to the bubbling rap scene in Chicago, the name Chance the Rapper should be familiar by now. Phrases connected to Chance like #10Day #SaveMoney and #22Offs have been floating around the Twitterverse, and he recently landed on the 10 Chicago Emcees to Watch list from Complex magazine. We also recently posted his trippy video for the first single from his new mixtape 10 Day. He’s only 18, but beaming with potential. This mixtape is a solid introduction to Chance, and it maneuvers through his witty, lyrical personalities. It features production from Chuck Inglish, Blended Babies, Caleb James, Thomas Foolery and more. Another highlight for us personally is that our very own Sulaiman makes a cameo on “Family” which is streamed below. You can let 10 Day ride from beginning to end without hitting a dull moment and there’s a refreshing, youthful energy to it. Check it out and let us know what you think! There’s also a video of him performing “Brain Cells” from his release party last night after the skip.
