“Its a recurring story in music. the tension between art & commerce. creativity vs the almighty dollar. How does one manage to avoid crossing that fine line in order to ‘keep it real’? The beauty is that music found its story within the story of a hustler. A beautiful hustler. individuals who broke barriers, sparked a revolution, and beat the system that would forever change the way we listen to music.” – The Les

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.

CLOUT | REY RESURRECCION | CUTSO

Super gifted & humble Rey Resurreccion is gearing up for his new album that he has created for the lowkey juggernauts in the game right now, CLOUT. It is appropriately titled “Sleeping Giants” for the fact that here in San Jose, everyone is resickulously super dope @ something, but the light doesn’t get much shine around these parts, so we create our own shine. The first single off the album features a dope lil’ Spanish sample that The Bangerz own Cutso flipped into a even doper anthem, entitled “The Hometown“. & what better day than today to post this in honor of California/The Bay’s return to the World Series tonight. I for one am being very unbiased in this post cuz I am a Dodger fan, but I respecognize Cal all day, & this song should be played ALL DAY regardless if you from here or not, you can relate to fresh! The album release party will be held @ the Clout showroom next month on the 20th (see the image to the left for more deets) but until then Peep & DL the new new from our good friend Rey Res Mayne! Shout out to Clout, Cutso & The Bangerz! LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
