NO KNOWS DOPE::APRIL 2009

Whattup Blind I faithful! I truly apologize for not droppin this on the 15th (the day NKD’s are scheduled to drop) but the truth of the matter is that (in the words of my momz) ‘I am burning the candle @ both ends’ by doing ’4 much’ these daze! But ya know what I say… I’ll rest when I’m dead. So with that being said, let’s get to it! I had 5 songs that I had previously selected a month ago for this months edition. The rest was compiled all damn day today.

MAIYA PRESENTS…COSMIC SOUNDS

Blind I Faithful! We acquire more and MORE of you each month, and we love sharing our compilations with you. There is so  much fun in it. My last few mixes have been smooth and soulful- reflective of my typical mood. But this past month has been loaded with crazy-making-moments and lots on my plate. So as a result, I spiced this one up a little bit. Its jumpier and more bombastic, but then there are pleasant lulls along the way with the slow-rolling joints.

BRAINSTORM REMIXES VOL. 1

What’s up Blind I faithful? I wanted to drop a special project on you guys that I’ve been working on for the past couple of days for your enjoyment. I looked up one day at my iTunes and realized that alot of my favorite joints were remixes I’d compiled in my years of digging, so logically I decided to make up a dope mix of some of the iller tracks. Little did I know how many dope remixes there were, so I’ve decided to make this a Volume 1 of however many more to come. This one is pretty eclectic, but all of the tracks go pretty hard. I tried to eliminate any of the typical remixes that I feel everyone probably already has, and focus on the more obscure, banging ass joints that you know we at Blind I like to bring. So without further ado, partake of the greatness and then check the track listing after the jump!
