BLAKROC & DD172….

As the recent publicity surrounding Mos Def, Jay Electronica and Curren$y’s collaborative-side-group Center Edge Territory reached a feverish pitch in the viral music world, questions arose around the studio where said collaboration and countless other secret musical rendezvous are rumored to have occurred. Alas, Mr. Damon Dash, a very familiar face in the trend-setting music mogul world has been behind it all, providing artists with the DD172 space in Tribeca. DD172 seems to be a new hot-spot for brainstorming sessions, musical vanguard, and almost certainly a long, raucous line of eager artists wanting in to create their own masterpieces. For this is how musicians work. We are historians at heart, purists of our art form, and suckers for atmospheres where our creativity can flow at ease. Dash and DD172 have recently partnered up with rock group The Black Keys and artists like Mos Def, Zoe Kravitz, Raekwon, ODB, RZA, Ludacris, Pharoahe Monch, Billy Danze of M.O.P., Om’Mas Keith of Sa-Ra, Tash and more, to create the BlakRoc project, of which we recently posted a video clip on the site. Chicago-bred video mavens Coodie & Chike have spearheaded the coverage of the project as well as Creative Control. Pretty much a creative mash of great proportions! We’ll see what fruitful creations come from this space in the future, but one thing is presently sure: the future is bright for ideas of this magnitude, and I hope it spurs more individuals to create workspaces and projects similar to this one. Great music!

WU-TANG CLAN’S DEMO TAPE (1992)

When it comes to the children, Wu Tang is for the children. Puffy is good, but Wu-Tang is the best. The Wu Tang Clan was very influential on my personal musical maturation and that moment at the Grammy Awards when ODB spoke so profoundly is part of the reason why this site is called Blind I For The Kids. Amidst all the current fuckery going on with WTC/Slaughterhouse beefs and what not, I find it important to never forget how strong the Wu was in their collective prime. This gem is their official demo tape from 1992, as gritty as you probably expect, and definitely one to put in your archives for when your kids revert to thinking Wu Tang is a Chinese orange drink. So without further ado, check out this rare joint “Cuttin Headz” and indulge thine self.
