BLACK MILK-WELCOME (GOTTA GO)

I got a little thing for Black Milk. I’ll admit it. When he came through our SXSW showcase I made a beeline in his direction (and the guys on the staff noticed lol). Eye candy matters aside, here’s the first single from his upcoming release, Album of the Year.  Not only is he super talented and carrying the torch for Detroit, but Tronic was such a heater.  I’m eager to peep the progress. Give it a gander and let us know what you think.

HOUSE SHOES – NEWPORTS

I love that when I Google House Shoes‘ name it comes up first over actual house shoes. But then again, I shouldn’t be surprised cause that’s how long and how hard (pause) House Shoes has been putting his stamp on the game, not only in Detroit but worldwide. Here’s a new joint entitled “Newports,” featured on the fourth installment of All City Records LA 10” series alongside another Detroit to Los Angeles transplant, Jordan Rockswell. All City Records LA 10” Series featuring House Shoes and Jordan Rockswell is out now via 10″ Vinyl, and on iTunes on May 18th. Till then….partake of the freshness.

VIDEO: FRANK NITT – GO GIRL

I have been beating this song out off this lowkey Terrace Martin collection I was given a couple months ago. I got nothing but love for Detroit & the sons & daughters they gave us to beat out to on the daily. Frank Nitt brings another dope visual to an already dope song. Props to Boombox for the premo!

NAMETAG & BLACK BETHOVEN – THE SOUL SYSTEM (FreEP)

This lil ep is soo fresh.. is you heard this cat on my ML6 you know he got major flava.. I guess it runs in the family , being the cousin of black milk.

The Soul System EP is the newest project from Detroit’s Nametag, produced entirely by Black Bethoven. The concept of the Soul System is, “One producer, One emcee, One concept…One EP.” It came about originally with Black Bethoven preparing to release an instrumental CD to follow up 2009’s Da Ear Hustle but with an idea inspired by Dub MD, the emcee and producer decided to team up and create a music piece that provides food for thought you wouldn’t find in your local grocery aisle. With tracks like “Time” which is the EP’s leading single, Nametag and Black Bethoven prove that soul music has a permanent spot in the hip hop genre. via 2dopeboyz

From the time I was introduced to him on Jay Dee’s Welcome 2  Detroit I’ve been convinced that eLZhi is one of the coldest emcees out and this compilation does nothing but support that belief. Excellent opportunity for anyone who isn’t already privy to his illy to get  familiar.
