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!

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!

BILL MUTHAFUCKIN MURRAY!

One of the best scenes in movie history IMO. Wu Tang’s RZA & GZA encounter Bill Murrary hiding out as a waiter in a dinner. If you have yet to see the film Coffee & Cigarettes (2003), I highly recommend you Netflix it now!

eNjOy!
