HOLLYWEERD X DON CANNON – EDIBLE PHAT 2.0

New name in the A is Late Pass Shawty. Just getting off a solo road trip from Chicago to Atlanta and missed this gem in my inbox. But better late than never right??? Atlanta group Hollyweerd connect with Don Cannon for their new mixtape Edible Phat 2.0. Not gonna lie…took me a while to really get into their stuff, but I can honestly say I’m starting to dig their work more and more. Give it a listen, let us know what you think!

And those who will be in the A this upcoming Saturday, July 10th, be sure to check out Hollyweerd and Big K.R.I.T. (who I am also digging) in concert at the Spring4th Center. Concert flyer after the jump.

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….

BLIND I SAYS GO! MARCH 2010

It’s March already! Truthfully I couldn’t be happier…the outlook on this year is bright, there’s a ton of work being done so the results are sure to be beautiful, and the phrase Blind I Says GO! has never meant so much as it does right now. You wake up one day, decide to start dreaming and just start DOING. I used to sit back with my philosophical thoughts and say like Kanye did in the chorus to Common’s “The Corner” – I wish I could GIVE you this feeling…but alas this platform that we’ve created of outstanding musical compilations has given me a medium by which I can hopefully inspire our listeners to get up and GO! because thinking is overrated! Ha! With all that being said, I’ve compiled what I’ll honestly say is my favorite – if not Top 5 – Blind I Says GO! compilations, and trust, I now have 42 in total to choose from! Everything flows, everything’s masterful, everything should give you the steam you need to power your engine. So F*CK a groundhog, we’re starting Springtime right now. Ready….set….GO!
