PAC DIV – MANIA!

Them Pac Div boys return with their newest mixtape, Mania!, hosted by Don Cannon. There are some BANGERS on here upon my first listen, and I know a few more will grow on me. The Church League Champions are obviously refining their sound with every project and that bodes very well for their first major release when it hits the streets! And I appreciate that cover art (g’lawd!). Check out Take Me High and then hit the jump for the track listing and the download link. What it is one time Pac Div!

HOLLYWEERD X DON CANNON – EDIBLE PHAT 2.0

New name in the A is Late Pass Shawty. Just getting off a solo road trip from Chicago to Atlanta and missed this gem in my inbox. But better late than never right??? Atlanta group Hollyweerd connect with Don Cannon for their new mixtape Edible Phat 2.0. Not gonna lie…took me a while to really get into their stuff, but I can honestly say I’m starting to dig their work more and more. Give it a listen, let us know what you think!

And those who will be in the A this upcoming Saturday, July 10th, be sure to check out Hollyweerd and Big K.R.I.T. (who I am also digging) in concert at the Spring4th Center. Concert flyer after the jump.

Check out the track that’s already one of my favorites, Mazaltov feat. Nesby Phips & Wiz Khalifa, and then download this. I’m about to roll up the breakfast of champions and start my week off right to this. Partake.

WALE – I’MA CHAMP

I had a conversation a few weeks ago on Twitter awhile ago about who had the best sports references in their verses, and I had Wale up there with the likes of Jadakiss, Jay-Z, and other heavyweights. This new joint from Don Cannon x Console Kingz’ Cannon 2K10 mixtape, “I’ma Champ“,  further proves my nomination. Partake! [spotted@nahright.com]

RECAP: G.O.O.D. MUSIC X RSVP GALLERY X SPRITE GREEN 9/18

Last night Chicago was shut down by a classic event put together by my homies Marc Moran, Virgil Abloh, and Don C of the newly-opened RSVP Gallery & Sprite Green here in Chicago. They, in connection with and G.O.O.D. Music, created a pop-up installation in Millennium Park that was free to the public, free liq, and performances from J. Ivy, Really Doe, Big Sean, GLC, Consequence, Mr.Hudson, Kid Cudi, and Common! Even new G.O.O.D. Beats addition Don Cannon came through to bless the stage. It was a dope event and definitely one of the top ones I’ve been to in Chicago (funny how my top 2 both involved Common, he’s in my Top 3 MCs ever of all time!). The homie Andrew from FSD got some dope footage right in front of the stage of Cudi’s set and Common’s set, so check that out, and check out the pics of RSVP Gallery. GO!

The RSVP decor is taken from The RSVP Private Collection of works from artists including Mark Newson, Stephen Sprouse, Jeff Koons, Takashi Murakami, Kaws and NoPattern. RSVP offers pieces from premium brands including Kaikai Kiki, Ambush, Dee & Ricky, Super, PLAY Comme des Garcons, Rizzoli, Original Fake, G-Shock, Incase and Boxed Water. RSVP also has a selection of rare, original, vintage items from Louis Vuitton, Chanel, A Bathing Ape, Nike and Levi Strauss & Co.

MIKKEY HALSTED – HELLO (PROD. BY DON CANNON)

New Mikkey Halsted joint produced by Don Cannon. For those of you who haven’t heard of Mikkey before, he’s a rising beast/star from Chicago who’s really making a splash because he spits hard (pause) and is actually saying something in the majority of his verses. Indulge!
