Late last year Blind I put action behind a dream which was to do an album with a handful of artists that we love. This was even before we went out to SXSW & did our Quality showcase. Our motto has always been “Quality Over Quantity,” & we take that very seriously around these parts. You can tell from each staff member’s individual comps to the posts we make. You can go to many sites & see the same thing. You come here & see something different. You have respecognized this since we stepped onto the scene 4 years ago and have become our beloved “faithful.” We appreciate you all. In honor of you all & for those who don’t know about the Blind I movement, we offer you Quality>Quantity The Album. This album features all brand new exclusive heat from 1-O.A.K., Black Spade, Brittany Street, Co$, Danny Brown, DaVinci, Dert, Devonwho, F.A.M.E, Haz Solo, House Shoes, iLL-Literacy, JimiJames, Joob, Joya Mooi, Noahdeeakili & Sulaiman (C’mon Son… like WE weren’t finna fitz to get on our own schitt), Onra, Penguin Prison, Peter Hadar, Shafiq Husayn, Shawn Jackson, Sonnymoon, Tabi Bonney, The Bangerz & The Primeridian.

On behalf of the entire Blind I staff… we are proud to present to you… QUALITY>QUANTITY THE ALBUM.

U-N-I EP

2Dope made this ill EP on U-N-I ANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNND they were just added to our Quality showcase going down March 19th . 2Dope gets credit for being one of the first if not the very first to drop anything on U-N-I, so it was only fitting that they do a lil sumin sumin for their new album that’s bout to release.

NO KNOWS DOPE – OCTOBER 2009

…& 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’!”
