KJ – THE HEADPHONE

KJ said it best for all of you new artists trying to get your shit heard: “I want the maximum amount of people to hear it and when the time comes to purchase they will have the choice but the most important thing is the music.” Word up. The Headphone is KJ’s latest project, which he’ll only have available for free download for 30 days. That gives you just enough time to cop this and see wh I hope 2010 is a big year for KJ. Check out “Check Up” and then partake in some new shit you’ll surely enjoy.

BLIND I SAYS GO! OCTOBER 2009

I saw the artwork of Alex Andreyev and I thought it fit perfectly! As the Fall begins and we look towards the next few months of brisk temperatures and brown leaves on the ground, we can rock in unison with this month’s Blind I Says Go!, encompassing all of the vibes that I believe go hand-in-hand with the Autumn months – hard work, coming of age, fun, love, elevated mindstates, balance, impulse – all entwined through music! Your tour guides through these matters are names like Mos Def, Ghostface Killah, Big Boi, Bullion, Hudson Mohawke, The Clipse, Curren$y, Donell Jones, John Mayer, KJ, Pharrell, Madonna, Melanie Fiona, N.E.R.D., Mayer Hawthorne, Now On, The Flaming Lips, other newcomers, and even yours truly! This one’s sure to be an enjoyable experience….so without further ado…..GO!

FRESH FACES: KJ

21 year-old KJ is sounding like the next up from out of Toronto. Must be something in the water up there! I’ma let his bio tell it though…what got me was the music and the visuals and I suppose those are the only things that should matter in the game! “Alternative Hip Hop never sounded so good, KJ is what you wish you heard when you were younger and what your glad you heard now. He is “Hip Hop” inviting Rock, R’n'B and Dance Music to dinner and everyone wants seconds. Compared to the likes of Common, Andre 3000 and Mos Def, this young man is fitted for the Hip Hop history books.KJ is a credited recording engineer and mix engineer, the best sound is always first priority. Self production inspired by Danger Mouse (Gnarles Barkley), Kanye West and many more has made this sound so diverse but yet still current. Raised in England and relocating to Canada at 11 now 21 “A Breath of Fresh Heir” is what music needs and is what you will get.” Check out “When I Came” and then hit the jump to see his video for “Repeat” and download his A Breath Of Fresh Heir mixtape…
