NO KNOWS DOPE | NO KNOWS NOSTALGIA | MAY 20XI

So this was an idea I had back in 2007. $ even made me a cover & everything & I never put it out. I decided to pull from that & make this to give y’all for this months edition of NKD, thus we going back in time, to a place where I was coming up as a MC I bumped the schitt outta everything on this edition. Broken tape decks & everythang! This past Saturday I was up @ my DJ W1shOne’s Audio Playground all day working on a mix of this for y’all but was not able to complete it the way I wanted to within such a short time, thus, expect a mix with songs that are not on this to be intertwined with some of these songs & more a lil down the road this year. Ill drop it randomly so stay TUNEd for that. Until then, go inside my mind/ears & enjoy some NOstalgia.

TL & DL after the after…

ZANE ONE – KINGDOM

My homegirl Zane One‘s L.A. WOMAN is now out in stores & MUST be copped… here’s another song off it to entice (as if you need any more enticement). It’s called “Kingdom” & is aiming @ all those males & females who compromise their integrity of their music  for the pursuit of wealth. Between the ALL NEW Freestyle Fellowship album or the ALL NEW Shames Worthy album  & Zane (ALL L.A. Vets!) L.A. is taking their styles back!

Grimey – The Final Chapter. That’s right folks, when Mai & I set out to do these compilations, we had it set in mind that each collabo/comp we did would only hit 3 volumes & then we’d be on to the next one..on-on to the next one (besides y’all slept on vol.2). So this is our 3rd & final opus in the Grimey series, we will mos def come back next year with some OTHER theme, but until then put the razor blade under your tongue & stomp on the streets in your Timbo’s 1 mo’ ‘gain!

Tracklist & DL after the Jump 2 get beat down…
