Los Angeles spitkicker and rappercrush to Blind I’s very own Ms. Maiya Blu drops this video for the title track off his 2011 release jesus? (which he released under the name B). Easily one of my favorite albums from 2011, hasn’t left the CD changer since I copped up. Produced by the one and only Madlib, video directed by aaronisnotcool. Spottted at Okayplayer.

The most played song on my iTunes (I think I’m at 98 plays now…) gets visual treatment. If you haven’t already, cop up on these two artists’ joint EP here and wait impatiently for the full length project to drop hopefully sooner than later.

New M.E.D. joint produced by Madlib. Classic drops November 1st.  Shouts to all my blaxicans!

On Thursday, June 2nd, 2011, Peek Gallery in association with Noise Pop proudly presents an exclusive photo gallery IF IT FITS IN THE BACKPACK…10 Years On the Road with MOCHILLA. Between B+ and Coleman, Mochilla’s co-founders, the two have photographed some of music’s biggest icons, including Eminem, Lauryn Hill, Black Eyed Peas, DJ Shadow, MF Doom, Dilated Peoples, Blackalicious, David Axelrod, Mulatu Astatke, J.Dilla, EPMD, Snoop Dogg, Black Star (Mos Def & Talib Kweli), Damian Marley, Nas, A Tribe Called Quest, Madlib, Jay Electronica, and many others. Outside of their photography work, Mochilla developed into a full service production company, producing 3 groundbreaking music films which include KEEPINTIME, BRASILINTIME, and TIMELESS, all exploring the connection between Jazz/Soul/Funk/Brasilian music and the latter generation of DJs and producers who were so influenced by the previous generation’s music and aesthetic. Recent video projects include Eric Coleman’s video work w/ Jay Electronica in South Africa; B+’s travels w/ Nas & Damian Marley in Jamaica; an interview with the legendary Jose Maria “Curro” Fuentes (producer of some of Colombia’s most important musicians and orchestras on his own Discos Curro imprint); and their combined work on Banksy’s film, “Exit Through The Gift Shop.”

The June 2nd, 2011 grand opening of IF IT FITS IN THE BACKPACK…10 Years On the Road with MOCHILLA will feature work made under the Mochilla aegis over the last 10 years, showcasing their cultural imprint on music from all over the world and their brilliant execution as photographers and videographers.

So this was an idea I had back in 2007. $ even made me a cover & everything & I never put it out. I decided to pull from that & make this to give y’all for this months edition of NKD, thus we going back in time, to a place where I was coming up as a MC I bumped the schitt outta everything on this edition. Broken tape decks & everythang! This past Saturday I was up @ my DJ W1shOne’s Audio Playground all day working on a mix of this for y’all but was not able to complete it the way I wanted to within such a short time, thus, expect a mix with songs that are not on this to be intertwined with some of these songs & more a lil down the road this year. Ill drop it randomly so stay TUNEd for that. Until then, go inside my mind/ears & enjoy some NOstalgia.

TL & DL after the after…

But Madlib’s trash is another man’s (and the whole world’s, thanks to LA Weekly) treasure: this person brought the shoebox to his friend George (aka, supertalented DJ EGROEG, who plays regularly at Where’s Yr Child), who in turn prepared a kickass mix, which we’re now offering to you all.

Check it out and enjoy!

Sigh…right…so I was sitting…making the comp…and I kept thinking…man…what would I want the.er…ideal…woman to sound like if I had to describe her musically….and this happened. I feel incredibly fluffy making this and I’ll more than likely overcompensate this feeling by making an outlandishly ignorant comp for March. Playlist and shit under the covers. Stop laughing at me.
