Grown Folk Music...
New hot ish: Ciara feat. Missy - 1, 2 Step. I don't have it yet but this has gotta mix crazy w/ Diplo's "Diplo Rhythm." (mp3 courtesy TTLab.com)
BTW, congrats to Leah Nolden on winning the Ciara contest from a few weeks back. The entry rate was atrocious on this one - were people not feeling the contest (or Ciara)?
Also, some gems from the recent promo wax I've been given:
- The Saint - Grown Folk Music. Literally! Sexy lounged out, house music for dinner parties feat. Mr. Man (from Da Bush Babees), Grap Luva & Vinia Mojica. If you're a long white t-shirt rap™ aficionado, this is probably not for you.
- DJ Nu-Mark & Pomo - Blend Crafters Vol. 1. Organic instrumental hip hop - a new subgnre? I never would have bought something like this but after checking it out, I have to say love it.
Peace to my man MF Grimm from HedRush Entertainment who last weekend passed me a Hood Economics mixtape sampler of his new artist Tahir who's performing tonight (see below).
And to Nomad from Day By Day Ent..
Great
Esther Baxter fansite (by now you must have figured out this is the "Freek-a-leek" video girl if you're a regular reader but the specific references helps my site traffic stats somethin' crazy 'cos, seriously, I get way more hits from heads looking for Ki-Toy & Esther info than from heads looking for mp3 links to the latest Game battle disses.)
Grand Good - a nice hip hop oriented blog (spotted via Jackson G Tickle)
Also worth peepin' - artist/journalist Rollie Pemberton's Razorblade Runner blog.
Coming to a Missy video soon?
