The Concreature himself. Mr. Boldy Blocks aka Boldy James for those of you who grabbed that Trappers Alley mix tape is back again with a new joint he did with the homies of Blended Babies and a stellar young band from Chicago that I’ve had the pleasure of checking out multiple times in The O’Mys.

BLIND I SAYS GO! APRIL 2011

Upgrades Upgrades Upgrades! They say if you want something done, do it yourself. I’ve wanted to format the Blind I Says GO! experience into a mixed format for awhile, and with a little help from Serato ScratchLive I was able to make my dream a reality! I’m one of those see-it-once-and-I-can-do-it type people, what can I say. So I decided to go the extra mile this month for GO! and put together TWO variations: one mixed hour-long session that you can press play on and let rock all the way through for your parties, gatherings, etc…..and a traditional Blind I comp with all the tracks ready for your enjoyment upon deployment. This month’s edition is stellar, featuring tracks from Max B, Boldy James, Nez And Rio, Common, Dom Kennedy, Shad and Skratch Bastid, Sir Michael Rocks, Pusha T, Pharrell, 50 Cent, Elzhi, Natasha Ramos, Vic Spencer, Action Bronson, Daft Punk, Raphael Saadiq, Yukimi Nagano, Big K.R.I.T., The Weeknd, The Stepkids, Travis Barker, Lupe Fiasco, Frank Ocean, Rich Boy, and Trae The Truth.

CHIP THA RIPPER – FROM ME TO YOU

Chip Tha Ripper is one of my favorite new rappers out. Cats like him, Big K.R.I.T., Dom Kennedy, all know how to use their vocal inflections perfectly over the beats that they choose, and we all win because of it. Chip decided to drop “From Me To You“, a prelude to the Gift Raps album that he and Cool Kids’ producer Chuck Inglish collaborated on, which should be nuts as well. Until then, we’ve got 6 new tracks to hold us down until Gift Raps drops. Check out “Ain’t No Love” produced by Million $ Mano and then partake!
