TYLER THE CREATOR-SUMMER CAMP MIX #LATEPASS

Alright here is another #latepass guys! Tyler, The Creator put this summertime mix together and tweeted about it. I already knew it would be filled with N.E.R.D., since he’s a self-proclaimed stan, and I was right. But there’s also hella other goodness  (see: Toro y Moi, Grizzly Bear, James Pants, Stevie Wonder) on here that definitely sounds and feels like summertime. You can play this in your car or while you work or whatever. Get into it. The mp3 is too large to stream, but here’s a track from the mix. Full listing after the jump.

BLIND I SAYS GO! JUNE 2011

Blind I faithful, I almost didn’t do it. I looked at the new music that the world had to offer, at our submissions, and I just didn’t feel like what was presented was strong enough to make it to GO! You know me, them ordinary things don’t move me. I need some shit straight out the movies, word to Mighty Mos. So, being the critical mind that I am, I scoured my music database for what felt right, refreshing, and in taste with my current mood of happiness, hard work, and the chase of perfection. A parallel universe, you might say. So without further ado or delay, enjoy the June 2011 version of Blind I Says GO! and let me know how you like the shit! Cause I love it! Hit the jump for the download link + track listing.

Sigh…right…so I was sitting…making the comp…and I kept thinking…man…what would I want the.er…ideal…woman to sound like if I had to describe her musically….and this happened. I feel incredibly fluffy making this and I’ll more than likely overcompensate this feeling by making an outlandishly ignorant comp for March. Playlist and shit under the covers. Stop laughing at me.
