Grimey – The Final Chapter. That’s right folks, when Mai & I set out to do these compilations, we had it set in mind that each collabo/comp we did would only hit 3 volumes & then we’d be on to the next one..on-on to the next one (besides y’all slept on vol.2). So this is our 3rd & final opus in the Grimey series, we will mos def come back next year with some OTHER theme, but until then put the razor blade under your tongue & stomp on the streets in your Timbo’s 1 mo’ ‘gain!

What’s good Blind I Faithful? It’s your girl Maiya and your boy NO coming to you with our first joint compilation…GRIMEY! We’ve talked about doing one for ages and finally made it happen. You’d think between our typical comps, it might be pretty eclectic or soulful. THINK AGAIN! Most men assume the ladies have to act/look rough to appreciate some old La the Darkman or N.W.A. (a stereotype I proudly defy).   So, NO and I got our hands dirty in the crates to deliver a gritty, grimy, hardcore mix unlike anything you’ll see on the other blogs.

We literally birthed the idea yesterday morning and completed it in an hour last night. Beginning with my Raekwon “Penitentiary” (The new Rae is ill BTW) we tag teamed track for track throughout the entire thing. Between Gravediggaz, Organized Konfusion and O.C., we got something in store for rap fans that frequent Blind I.

Special thanks to $uli for delivering the artwork via NO’s idea.
