Late last year Blind I put action behind a dream which was to do an album with a handful of artists that we love. This was even before we went out to SXSW & did our Quality showcase. Our motto has always been “Quality Over Quantity,” & we take that very seriously around these parts. You can tell from each staff member’s individual comps to the posts we make. You can go to many sites & see the same thing. You come here & see something different. You have respecognized this since we stepped onto the scene 4 years ago and have become our beloved “faithful.” We appreciate you all. In honor of you all & for those who don’t know about the Blind I movement, we offer you Quality>Quantity The Album. This album features all brand new exclusive heat from 1-O.A.K., Black Spade, Brittany Street, Co$, Danny Brown, DaVinci, Dert, Devonwho, F.A.M.E, Haz Solo, House Shoes, iLL-Literacy, JimiJames, Joob, Joya Mooi, Noahdeeakili & Sulaiman (C’mon Son… like WE weren’t finna fitz to get on our own schitt), Onra, Penguin Prison, Peter Hadar, Shafiq Husayn, Shawn Jackson, Sonnymoon, Tabi Bonney, The Bangerz & The Primeridian.

On behalf of the entire Blind I staff… we are proud to present to you… QUALITY>QUANTITY THE ALBUM.
