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…

NO KNOWS DOPE – OCTOBER 2009

…& ya just don’t stop… back like a bad dream like I never left…Ya kNOw what time it cuz you iz da faithful… why I am typing “ghett-right”? I have no idea.  Anyways, this one goes out to all the purists of sound & the respecognition of listening to an album from beginning to end. If a track had to much damn dead space @ the end of a track I took that batch out. If a song was dope as fuck in a mix that I loved I got that schitt up in this piece! You don’t play when it comes to your NKD & therefore I vow to never play either.

I send no apologies for this months edition of NKD. It is – what it is (male quote of the century) “of course my goons is astounding, niqqa I used the Auto-Tune™ because I’m clownin’!”

BLIND I SAYS GO! OCTOBER 2009

I saw the artwork of Alex Andreyev and I thought it fit perfectly! As the Fall begins and we look towards the next few months of brisk temperatures and brown leaves on the ground, we can rock in unison with this month’s Blind I Says Go!, encompassing all of the vibes that I believe go hand-in-hand with the Autumn months – hard work, coming of age, fun, love, elevated mindstates, balance, impulse – all entwined through music! Your tour guides through these matters are names like Mos Def, Ghostface Killah, Big Boi, Bullion, Hudson Mohawke, The Clipse, Curren$y, Donell Jones, John Mayer, KJ, Pharrell, Madonna, Melanie Fiona, N.E.R.D., Mayer Hawthorne, Now On, The Flaming Lips, other newcomers, and even yours truly! This one’s sure to be an enjoyable experience….so without further ado…..GO!

In his own words…

THE GASLAMP KILLER “WE MAKE IT GOOD” MIX IS A ROUGH AND TOUGH RIDE THROUGH SOME OF THE MOSTFILTHY TUNES ON THE PLANET!

THE GLK GOES FROM DIRTY SCRATCH BEATS TO DIRTY SOUTH RAP, TO SOME NEW NEW BEAT SHIT, TO NIRVANA! THEN STRAIGHT TO BOMBAY INDIA FOR SOME BOLLYWOOD FUN, RIGHT INTO SOME JAYLIB! ANDTHATS ALL WITHIN THE FIRST 10 MINUTES OF THIS MIX. NUFF SAID. PEEP IT.”

KUTMAH

So I been bumpin this for some weeks now… but the first time I was bumpin it I didnt even know I was bumpin it. You see, I come across allot of music on the hour every hour on the daily & I cant listen to it all @ once, so I will add it to the itunes, and then just vibe out doing work. So when I heard this the first time it was somewhere in the mix where I had to stop what I was doing & check to see what I was listening to, because what I was hearing was what I would have made, had I known how to DJ! I mean from eS Vee to Take to Bullion & not just the artists but the actual song I would have mixed as well. Especially when Kutmah mixes Shuggie Otis’ “Out Of My Head” which for the longest time was something I only heard from My brotha Sol+10. Anyways… Cities & Mountaintops are two great eclectic mixtures to vibe the fuck on out & do your work to.

eNjOy!
