BLIND I SAYS GO! MARCH & APRIL 2009

download Blind I Says GO! March 2009 (Sharebee)

Happy Friday! I told shorty, I said “Look shorty. Just download the Blind I Says GO! Double CD off Blind I and you’ll get all the education you need this year”. Truer shit has never been spoken. Yes, I was late on March’s BISG due to a restructuring of our compilation-posting schedule, but don’t worry, I made it up to you guys big time. And YES, I was supposed to post up April’s BISG on Wednesday but I was too busy plotting world domination. Luckily on Thursday I got around to compiling it and Voila! Two BISGs for everybody in one day, one post. March’s BISG hold a bunch of heat from a hip-hop standpoint, with new joints from Diamond District, Jadakiss, Fam-Lay aka Shark City Click, Cudi, Wale, Justin Timberlake, and others. Guaranteed to be something you can bump in the whip if you’re headed out tonight. Which leads me to April….

download Blind I Says GO! April 2009 (Sharebee)

BISG April goes hard. Lately I’ve been listening to a bunch of new artists as well as artists that are just new to me, and April was compiled as a shrine to the new ill shit. New One Chance shit starts it off, and that pretty much sets the tone as most of the joints on this BISG are from artists like Telepopmusik, Thievery Corporation, Metronomy, Justice, Prince, Ge-Ology and the like. Definitely for a more keen listener, but packing much heat like the summer do. I know you’re gonna love it cause I’m still playing all the joints on the tracklisting nonstop. All in all this double-drop should more than hold you down until the May installment of BISG, which is SURE to be ridiculous. Track listings after the jump my friends!
