Last Monday, April 11th at 10:43AM, my daughter Ajané arrived into the world. It was the most beautifulest thing in the world without a doubt. Being “on call” for the whole month of March & April kinda put a roadblock in my head as to what ‘theme’ I wanted to execute for Aprils NKD & as I pondered the thoughts I lowkey was already playing the soundtrack & not even knowing it. Playing songs that I felt related to what I was going through or have gone through or what I want to achieve as a man & as a father to my children. About a week before the 15th (sorry for the delay… been busy changing diapers n schitt. pun.) I finally decided to dedicate this months NKD to the babies. The children. The kids! But no… not on some Yo Gabba Gabba or Kids Sing Along schitt… naw… on some grown folks – grown biz – type of musical growth if you will. Whether you are a mother or a father, raising your sons or daughters, this edition goes harder to marauder & slaughter any biologicals that don’t bother. I breaks water! hahaha Naw pho trill tho… I’m on Cloud 9000 & 99! Blind I For The Kids… literally.

I really outdid myself with this one. This…..right here….is my…..most fluid, themed, consistent BISG compilation yet! August’s edition of Blind I Says GO! is giving love to the joints you love but forget to revisit….the Yin to the typical Yang of selections that jump out at us on out favorite records….yes that’s right, the INTERLUDE! When I came up with this concept I had a few special ones in mind that I’d always loved, but I had no idea I’d be able to pick 40 tracks that combined into an hour-long mindgasm of sonic delicacy. You like my wordplay I know you do. All the greats are here along for the ride too — 112, Little Brother, Hi-Tek, Usher, Talib Kweli, Sa-Ra, Brand New Funk, Justin Timberlake, Sonnymoon, I, CED, Common, Bilal, The Neptunes, N.E.R.D., Group Home, Outkast, SWV, Dwele, Drake, Missy Elliott, Kelis, Timbaland & Magoo, John Legend, Mayer Hawthorne, Yesterday’s New Quintet, Erykah Badu, Diddy, B.I.G., Madlib, Jay-Z, Janelle Monaé, Jake One, Dilla, Gang Starr, Dimlite, Dert, Constrobuz, Beat Maker Beat, Sol+10….I mean C’MON SON! You already know what you need to do.

MAIYA PRESENTS…ORGANIZED CONFUSION

Maiya — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 19:11:13 +0000

Hi Everyone. What can I say–it’s been quite a month. For starters, Blind I celebrated our first SXSW showcase (Check out the pictures here) and it was incredible to be in the presence of musical greatness. It has been a whirlwind for me personally these past few weeks, dealing with moments of jubilation and euphoria to death, grief and setbacks. Music has been my window seat. This compilation was due Monday but I needed to gather my thoughts and get the sound right. It starts out mellow and soothing and ends a bit more chaotic–just how it’s sounded in my head. I hope you relate somehow. Tracks/link next door.

My boy DJ Replay of The Bangerz just dropped a new single with his production crew Free School, featuring none other than Kelis and Apl De Ap of B.E.P. It’s a pretty lively joint and sure to get the club floor going.

Free School is producing most of the new stuff on Kelis’ forthcoming album and I’m positive it’s going to be big in 2010.
