EXCLUSIVE: FREESTYLE FELLOWSHIP – ON THIS EARTH

The long awaited, finally inaugurated, highly anticipated… other level…

That’s right y’all! The wait is finally over! The West Coast/Los Dangerous underground Gawdz Aceyalone, Myka9, P.E.A.C.E., Self Jupiter & DJ Kiilu Grand better known as Freestyle hello mellow Fellowship, have returned like Jedi’s striking back @ this empire called Hip Hop! Blind I has been blessed (before anyone else) with the title track off their brand new album On This Earth & I personally couldn’t be any more happier! N.W.A. & RUN DMC made me want to rap. Freestyle Fellowship made me want to be the best @ it. I’m just super geeked right now to not only hear new FF material but to also be in a place where I can use my platform to be the first to show the world the new new!! Peep…

ZANE ONE – KINGDOM

My homegirl Zane One‘s L.A. WOMAN is now out in stores & MUST be copped… here’s another song off it to entice (as if you need any more enticement). It’s called “Kingdom” & is aiming @ all those males & females who compromise their integrity of their music  for the pursuit of wealth. Between the ALL NEW Freestyle Fellowship album or the ALL NEW Shames Worthy album  & Zane (ALL L.A. Vets!) L.A. is taking their styles back!

VIDEO: ERIC ROBERSON – STILL

Erro (Eric Roberson) is one supremely talented brother! He has written & collaborated with everyone from Dwele to Musiq Soulchild to Jill Scott. He puts out timeless albums that reflect his honesty & humility within his lyrics & beautiful melodies over production that grabs you instantly. I was gettin my Twit on yesterday when I seen a twit from Erro saying he was streaming live @ the time. So I went to peep, heard a ill freestyle (he spit on 2 topics I gave him… Oscar Grant & J Dilla) & aired his video from off his last album Music Fan First (which we streamed for you when it first came out). The song is STILL & the visuals which were directed by Impakt Studio’s Chris & Blaq for it are very moving. He touches on a topic that is serious as cancer… cuz it is. Breast cancer. Every 13 minutes a life is lost to breast cancer & early detection saves lives! So in the words of Biggie… “girrlllls… rub on your titties!” & stay ready so you never have to GET ready! Jedi respecognition to Erro for not only being 110% honest & true with the music but for speaking on this subject though his video. Greatness personified @ its finest.

Shout out to Sweetlocs for the quick response & turn around on this so we could bring this to the faithfuls!

THE MAKING OF OUTKAST’S AQUEMINI

Outkast’s Aquemini album was a true classic. You could put it on and let the entire thing play without a hitch. This CL Atlanta story has each participant in the project weigh in and reflect on the creative process. The behind-the-scenes perspective is ill. It’s like taking the liner notes and digging deeper. Enjoy the article–it’s a lengthy but great read:

Man, first they were some pimps. Then they were some aliens or some genies – some shit. Then they be talkin’ ’bout that black righteous space. Man, fuck them. I ain’t fuckin’ with them no mo’.
– – “Return of the G’ skit, Aquemini

By the time Aquemini was due to drop in the fall of 1998, no one knew what to expect from the-soon-to-be-iconic OutKast.

BLIND I SAYS GO! JUNE 2010

What can I say, I was anxious to drop this one. A truckload of heat was made readily available this last week, and therefore I HAD to incorporate it all into this month’s Blind I Says GO! The motivation behind this one was fresh & new, meaning the wardrobe has been flipped, the summer is here, and it’s time to work hard and play hard. We’re talking new joints from Kid Cudi, Drake, Black Milk, Vic Spencer and I, Gil Scott-Heron, Kanye West, Phil Adé, Francis and the Lights, The Roots, Talib Kweli, Sean Price, Black Sheep, Mark Ronson, Janelle Monaé, Alicia Keys, Hollyweerd, Dirty Money, and Dam Funk. Whoa. Time to indulge….

FOOTAGE: JAY ELECTRONICA ROADSIDE IN NEPAL

OkayplayerTV & Jay Electronica save a goat’s life, send subliminal shouts out to Indiana Jones with Jay’s hat, and manage to lay down the expectedly-dope Jay Elec verse, all in one clip. Maybe this is what the welcome mat was for. Shouts to OKP.
