CUKUI PRESENTS REY RESURRECCION – OLD RUST, NEW BANG 2

We was up in the Cukui Clothing Store this past Friday as we seen The King Of The Town himself, Rey Resurreccion put it down for the city of San Jose & the culture of Hip Hop. Cukui & Rey have teamed up once again to bring the sequel to the smash Old Rust, New Bang & on Friday gave fans a chance to take home a comemerative Rey Res/Cukui box which included the album, a shirt , some buttons & stickers….and they sold that schitt out son! The album is filled with bangers & even has some beats from some (da da tssh) Rey handles the majority of the production on this one & his raspy vocals carry smooth over 808′s & dropouts. The doode makes schitt for you to ride to, cuz everytime I hear it I wanna get in the load, roll down the windows, put one in the air & stunt. This is how you follow up some schitt right here!

NO KNOWS DOPE | NO KNOWS BEATS 2 | JANUARY 20XI

This year marks the 5th anniversary of my No Knows Dope series (HOLY MEGABYTES BATMAN THE FIF’ YEAR!)… blessed! Thank you all for your continuous support of the NKD franchise as well as all the other $tunta$tic original compilations that the rest of the Blind I staff offers. Last years NKD concept was fun being able to do each month dedicated to one of my all time favorite artists or themes. This years method to the NKD madness is simple. Genres & sub-genres (according to me that is) all mixed & glitched by my good friend/brother & DJ W1shOne. This months edition is a sequel to last years No Knows Beats & this one is str8 up exclusive thruout! FIAH! All purpose music right here! 110% skip proof! I want to send some special Jedi respecognition to all my friends (I, Ced & Black Spade of Hawthorne Headhunters, SquareWeezy of The Bangerz, Haz Solo, Max Kane, Teeko, Malaguti & Colin Brown of 4OneFunk/F.A.M.E., Seven Davis Jr., DJ Dskrybe of Trademark, REL of D2S, Hayling, Waajeed and W1shOne & Sol Plus 10 of Sub Ren who came thru for me by blessing me with never before heard or released beats. I hope you enjoy this mix as much as W1sh & I had putting it together. This is only the beginning… 11 more to go! Stay TUNEd.

SQUARE WEEZY | MACHINE GUN FUNK [PT.1 OF 3]

So last week our boy Square Weezy of The Bangerz had his official headliner @ the infamous Machine Gun Funk in downtown San Jose, CA. I was blessed to be asked to rock the mic for my man as he did his thing (note: I don’t start doing that till after he dropped 10-15 minutes of live original production, stay tuned for parts 2 & 3). In this one, he drops the most recent Bangerz song entitled “Robot Remains” (which debuted on MTV’s ABDC with a performance by the Jabbawockeez). Super Jedi Shout out to the whole entire MGF camp, Mark PLSTK, Dub U, Ax!om MC & our very own Dandiggity. If you ever make it out to the bay check out Machine Gun Funk going down on the last Thursday of every month… ALWAYS FREE!

NO KNOWS DOPE | MARCH 20X

This month I decided to flip the script & keep it off this NKD. Get it? No scripts… just beats. Thus, No Knows Beats! From my favorite producers past, present & future. This cover is quite special to me as well because it is a painting of me done by my brother like no other Dee Jae Pa’este of Konscious Klothing & he was kind enough to let me use it for this months NKD art. (I mean… IT IS ME tho hahahaha). I have been bumping this all day while I was working on the back cover & it is damn good designing music… or work music… or whatever you use it for. Burn a CD, drop it on your mp3 players & cypher with your homies while you cruise the block or BBQ it up… or just stfu & listen.

A list of who’s on this batch & the DL after the J…
