FOOTAGE: SPRITE GREEN X DE LA SOUL IN CHICAGO

Being a Sprite Green Tastemaker certainly has it’s benefits. One of them being guest spots for dope ass legendary performances. Since March they’ve managed to bring out DJ Premier, Pete Rock, and yesterday the legendary De La Soul. The homie D. Greenberg shot over some footage for the Blind I faithful to partake in…so do it! Definitely a good time had by all, shouts to Timbuck2, George Daniels, Common Ground, M$M, Hollywood Holt, Jerry Azumah, Andrew Barber, Jay Illa, and everyone else who made it out. This summer in Chicago will be crazy! More to come.

Seriously though guys and gals, this playlist is probably my favorite next to the “The Crib” joint I posted a while back. And that’s not because I put a track I produced on this one [/shameless plug]. I predict you will enjoy it thoroughly.

A MAGICAL MUSICAL NIGHT [A SUITE FOR MA DUKES]

Hours ago an audience was fortunate to hear the sounds of the man we all know and love, J Dilla through an orchestra composed under the direction of Miguel Atwood Ferguson.As much as I wanted to,  I wasn’t able to fly down to L.A. for this one. However Our good friend Dert was not only in attendance, but sitting front row to witness what I knew would be a night to talk about for years to come. Lucky for us, He was able to record the last memorable moments of the performance. The rest is through his eyes & words.

This is video I took at the Timeless: Suite For Ma Dukes concert. A 40-piece orchestra interpreting Jay-Dee’s wonderful work from the hits to the obscure. Arrangements by Miguel Atwood Ferguson. There were numerous cameos throughout the night but this video features Posdnous of the great De La Soul and Talib Kweli performing Stakes Is High and Illa J doing adlibs over Fall in Love. Karriem Riggins was on the drums for the 2nd half of the show. I was trying to be respectful by not taking video but at this point everyone in the place took out cameras and flashes were going off. Since I was in the front row, I might as well share a little bit with y’all. When the full concert comes out on DVD (since there was a film crew) it’s definitely a must-have for Dilla fans and music lovers alike.-Dert
