MAIYA PRESENTS…RENDEZVOUS VOL.13

Mndsgn-Hernumerxledge

I can’t believe I have done 13 of these compilations already! 13 is actually my lucky number, so it makes sense that this one is one of my favorites among the recent volumes I’ve put together.  Let’s get lucky together. All you have to do is give it a gander and let me know what you think! P.S., whenever I check the download count for these and see hundreds and hundreds, it really makes me smile. I’m glad you appreciate my musical aesthetic.  Tracks and links next door. Enjoy. Give me a shout and let me know what you think!

*PBBT!’S SMORGASBORD FEBRUARY 2011

Sigh…right…so I was sitting…making the comp…and I kept thinking…man…what would I want the.er…ideal…woman to sound like if I had to describe her musically….and this happened. I feel incredibly fluffy making this and I’ll more than likely overcompensate this feeling by making an outlandishly ignorant comp for March. Playlist and shit under the covers. Stop laughing at me.

JON LORENZO – RENEGADE SOUND

Hometown Heroes own Jon Lorenzo breaks from behind the cobwebs to give us a super energetic fully charged mix that is guaranteed to keep you moving & grooving from the beginning to the end.

Upbeat rap & oldschool music you don’t normally hear mixed together. Unreleased (extended) version of my hip hop/electro mix from January 2009.

Applications used: ProTools and Serato

I’ll say! He even threw yours truly on there rockin over the Mr.Oizo Flat Beat (I seriously have no recollection of this what so ever) Anyways… it’s a dope mix that you should ALL have while you work out, since you ALL are in the gyms going IN since you ALL made your New Years Resolutions right? hahahaha I keed. I keed. Peep tho…

I watched the Bulls get at the Lakers with Chuck Inglish, and he said they’d drop this video if the Bulls won. He’s a man of his word.

BLIND I SAYS GO! DECEMBER 2010

Life is all about progression. Time doesn’t stop, we don’t get any younger, and it’s always the early bird that catches the worm. With the closing of another year, I know I speak for the entire Blind I staff when I say that I hope you’ve all grown as we have; seen what’s being done and aspired to be better…for as you know, Blind I ALWAYS says GO!…

DEAD at this picture. Lupe Fiasco brings together some of the best new spitters to form the All-City Chess Club and do a proper remix to his joint “I’m Beaming“. All-City Chess Club is comprised of Lupe, Asher Roth, Charles Hamilton, The Cool Kids, Blu, Diggy, B.o.B. and Dosage. Pretty cool concept, partake!
