BLIND I PRESENTS…BLIND I FOR THE WINTER
It’s been a while since we did a Blind I staff compilation. These are always a joy to put together, because we all take our time hand-picking the music. Only the person who zips it up (in this case it was me) gets to listen to the compilation in its entirety before it gets posted so it remains a mystery for most of the staff until it’s complete. We definitely bring our different flavors and styles to Blind I for the Winter. There are some upbeat songs, but overall it has a mellow, wintry vibe and you can keep it in heavy rotation through the cold months. We’d love to hear how you feel about it. Thanks for rocking with us all of these years. We appreciate you and we’re grateful for you. Happy holidays. Tracks and links after the jump.

Hands in late pass. Still dope though, so you’re welcome. Enjoy.
BILAL-THINK IT OVER (EXILE REMIX)
Bilal’s Airtight’s Revenge was such a well constructed album that any remixes or covers would be hard to entertain. But Exile is also a master at his craft, so when his remix of “Think It Over” landed in the inbox, it was worth a listen. It’s an uptempo slant on the original but it doesn’t distract too much from the beauty of the lyrics. Check it out.

FAT BEATS IN-STORE PERFORMANCE SCHEDULES [LA]
So you already know the deal & how we feel about the whole departure of the Fat Beats stores. Sucks. But not really cuz they still are going to be doing big thangs in various formats, so I guess it’s cool & growth & all that other jazz. Anyways, the NYC farewell jump off was filled to the brim of dope artists who had made Fat Beat NYC their home so it is only fitting that they mirror the same for the LA farewell & as you can see to the right (click pic to enlarge), that they are NOT playin! I mean DAMN!!! I know the NBA will be playing the All Star game @ Staples this season but this schitt right here my ninja? This is LA’s All Star Hip Hop fest for the ages! You got OG spitters from LA’s underground elite from Erule to Volume 10, to LA’s G’d up from the chucks up spitters MC Eiht to Kurupt, a face melt of beats from LA producers Dibiase to Exile as well as a performace from the Gawdz of LA style Freestyle Fellowship! That aint even scratching the surface tho! Peep the line up for each day & plan accordingly. You’re welcome. Below is my favorite song from Erule & still in my top 10 all time Hip Hop songs ever.
