VIDEO: LUPE FIASCO F/ KENNA – RESURRECTION

Just like post-Katrina, people think the struggle’s over once the media moves on to the next hot topic. People still need help. I hope you take the time to click that Help For Haiti button on our sidebar. Lupe & Kenna & Mike Shinoda are still pushing for the cause of Haiti’s restoration with visuals for their joint from the Download to Donate project. You should do the same!

DOWNLOAD TO DONATE CAMPAIGN (LUPE FIASCO, KENNA, MIKE SHINODA…)

Kinda tardy, but you can never be too tardy for a good cause. MusicForRelief.org amassed a great team of donors and celebrities to contribute to create the Download To Donate campaign, with names like Linkin Park, Dave Matthews Band, Peter Gabriel, Alanis Morissette, Slash, The All-American Rejects, Hoobastank, Kenna, Enrique Iglesias and Lupe Fiasco contributing tracks to support the effort. Clearly the standout track for most Blind I enthusiasts is the Mike Shinoda-produced Resurrection, featuring Lupe Fiasco and Kenna.

LUPE FIASCO – FIRE

Lupe Fiasco returns with a new joint over a Hendrix sample, “Fire“. People are saying he’s going in over not being included in the MTV Top 10 Hottest MCs list, but my theory is he’s been grinding nonstop in the lab, climbing mountains with Kenna, and gearing up to make another gem like Food & Liquor and The Cool were. And what’s good with Japanese Cartoon? We shall get answers soon, but until then, partake!

KENNA – IMITATION IS SUICIDE (PRODUCED BY RJD2)

Kenna is back, and he’s dropping a new album in September called Land 2 Air Chronicles with Chad Hugo and RJD2 based on Ralph Waldo Emerson’s essay on Self-Reliance. Might be too deep for most, but check out this joint just based on the fact that it’s from Kenna’s new project! Duh! No lyrics but if this is the musical quality we can expect coming from this project then Kenna’s got another classic on his hands. Partake, and thanks to theneptunes.org for the joint!
