We’re glad to have them on the lineup and now that this new material is blowing us away sonically, we are even more amped for their beat set.  It’s been a few months since they put out Brooklyn’s Finest last year. When we posted it on the siteit got great feedback by Blind I faithful and the music community as a whole. It’s rare that a slew of instrumentals is so satisfying! Their samples are soulful and they are always repping Brooklyn  to the fullest. Get familiar with their music and hit the skip for the tracklists and downloads! And we better see you Wednesday if you’re in NYC!

I had the pleasure of attending this showcase during CMJ week and as you can see from the footage it was a packed house with a solid lineup. The folks at Putmeonit will be posting the actual performances soon (and we will be posting our Onyx footage) but this is a pretty dope teaser.

I had the pleasure of catching this performance during CMJ week in NYC. Bilal was one of the most anticipated artists to hit the stage that night and as usual he tore it down. “Levels” is from his forthcoming album via Plug Research. I love the way it begins.

Shouts to VTech for the footage. If someone gives me this leak I’m not even going to cheat and download. Gotta support real artistry.

Enjoy!
