MAIYA PRESENTS…SEASONS

Seasons-Front (2)

Sometimes we’ve done seasonal compilations that have been more literal, but to me these songs just take me to that place. The leaves are falling and the temperature is lowering. Old memories are phasing out to create room for new experiences.

PHAROAHE MONCH | SHAFIQ HUSAYN | OM’MAS KEITH | SKID ROW SESSIONS (AUDIO FOOTAGE)

srsAyo! So we had flubbed up a bit and posted the Art Don’t Sleep Skid Row Sessions on the double (which is understandable because it’s SO ill), but we just Voltroned and figured it out. Only difference in this post and the old one is that NO got ahold of the audio footage from the sessions! So indulge in that here, and hit the jump for the all-star lineup featured and the video if you haven’t already seen it!

SHAFIQ HUSAYN EPKS 1+2: VIDEO


The first video hit the blogs some time ago but the latest  is now making its rounds. These interviews provide insight into Shafiq’s musical career/credits and the thought process behind his album, Shafiq En’ A-Free-Ka. The L.A. cats are definitely bringing a unique collaborative energy to the table. Looking forward to the rest of the 7 videos. More after the drop.

NO KNOWS DOPE – OCTOBER 2009

NKDOCT09-COVER…& ya just don’t stop… back like a bad dream like I never left…Ya kNOw what time it cuz you iz da faithful… why I am typing “ghett-right”? I have no idea.  Anyways, this one goes out to all the purists of sound & the respecognition of listening to an album from beginning to end. If a track had to much damn dead space @ the end of a track I took that batch out. If a song was dope as fuck in a mix that I loved I got that schitt up in this piece! You don’t play when it comes to your NKD & therefore I vow to never play either.

I send no apologies for this months edition of NKD. It is – what it is (male quote of the century) “of course my goons is astounding, niqqa I used the Auto-Tune because I’m clownin’!”

Track List & DL after the bounce, rock, roller-sk8…

SHAFIQ | GARTH TRINIDAD

(01)Shafiq-Podcast-FinalLast Wed I had the pleasure of catching the brilliant Shafiq Husayn along side his 2/3 SA-RA member Om’Mas Keith @ The Lounge & all I can say was it was like hearing a soundtrack to my moods. Shafiq seems to always bring a certain mood to each track he either spins or creates. You should really get his album if you havnt already. Music aficionado Garth Trinidad mixes the brilliance of Mr.Husayn lovely in this podcast brought to you by the good folks over @ Plug research.

SHAFIQ HUSAYN | OM’MAS KEITH | SA-RA | LIVE [SJ]

shafiq

You know one of Blind I’s faves are the ever so brilliant and boundary pushing Sa-Ra Creative Partners. Two thirds of the crew Om’Mas Keith & Shafiq Husayn, who is droppin’ his solo schitt on the 6th and NOT to be slept on, will be in the house like an appliance droppin that next level science! Ungrammar does it again by bringing out only the illest to the bay. Your presence is required if you live on that other side of the musical fence where the soundtrack TO THAT side of the fence is Shafiq & Om’Mas.

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

See you there.

SHAFIQ HUSAYN-EN’ A-FREE KAH

l_402ac4ff16a24f20a6ae5ddc5889933f It takes a certain kind of ear to really appreciate the kind of music Sa-Ra creates. It’s a  neo-psychedelic mash-up, often paired with very smooth vocals from singers like Noni Limar. I was delighted to get my hands on Shafiq Husayn’s En’ A-Free Kah teaser. Sa-Ra fans will appreciate the familiarity, but he tweaks it to reflect his own style. I enjoy this more from the middle to the end of the sampler. Peep for yourself. Album drops in Oct.
