ROCK THE BELLS ANNOUNCES LINEUP FOR 20X

NO — Tue, 25 May 2010 16:01:48 +0000

Looks like we got a new trend on our hands this summer. Artists have been performing the album’s that set it off for them in their entirety as of late to draw the heads to a show that the heads would normally give up on. Let’s face it. They downloading your new schitt & they give a fuck if you performing down the way way unless it’s with so n so & so n so & so n so. OR you perform the schitt that made them fall in love with you to begin with. This is where we are @. Deal with it. I aint mad either. Cuz yeah… this makes me want to go. Rumor’s say that Lauryn will be added to the bill to perform the whole Miseducation (URB went as far as droppin it on their site/zine yesterday… I call malarkey, but we’ll see, it’s still early) I also heard RUN DMC may do a few dates… I dunno. I can’t call it yet. What you think of the line up thus far tho & all the trill schitt I just spoke? Your thoughts…

Organized Konfusion – Bring It On

Download audio file (04-Organized-Konfusion-Bring-It-On.mp3)

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.
