I was hoping the cover would be complete in time for me to post this on Dilla’s birthday. But, I’m glad that we waited a little bit because it allowed me listen to the songs a few more times, and make some last-minute tweaks.  I’ve decided to theme my Rendezvous mixes this year in order to challenge myself and take them to the next level. It’s February, so doing a tribute to one of my favorite producers and a true visionary was the first thing that came to mind.  Most people who visit Blind I are avid collectors of Dilla’s material, so there are probably no songs that we’ve left out over the years (see: No’s Dilla Vol. 1 and 2). So instead, I pulled together some of my favorites; group and solo material, original samples and music from unrelated artists that give me similarly warm vibes. I hope you enjoy. And while we’re all sharing material it’s important to remember that Dilla has a foundation. I made a donation a few weeks back, and I encourage you all to do the same: http://jdillafoundation.org/. No amount is too small. Supporting our youth and keeping music programs alive is our collective responsibility.
RIP James Dewitt Yancey.

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!

Erykah Badu is a true artist. From her music, to the artwork for her albums, to the videos she releases, everything has her own unique stamp on it. Here is the first phase of the “Out My Mind, Just In Time” video where the singer is doing some interpretive dancing. Curious to see what the next part will entail.

A year ago around this time everyone was buzzing about the “Window Seat” video. Though the album has been out for ages, I’m still bumping it like a new release. Here’s some playful footage of Badu in the studio. Enjoy.
