My Brooklyn and NYC peoples: Stone of The Couch Sessions is part of the Connoisseurs of Culture collective and has been on the grind BREAKING (not 'aggregating' or biting) new music on his site for 5 years strong now. This event looks mega and I'm pissed I left NY yesterday and am missing it but for those of you who live in the city full-time, don't f-ck this off. Aloe Blacc is very dope live and Peter Hadar is a promising new talent - Stone has a put a ton of work into making this sh-t official so act accordingly and go check it out!

FREE MIXTAPES!!!
'Cos after all the er.... drama with DJ Drama, it's the new way: mixtapes that really are free and "for promotional use only."
DJ's Benja Styles & JDS pres. the What We Do (The Movie) mixtape feat Freeway. (more: the What We Do movie MySpace page)
Jus Ske My Mind is Playin' Tricks On Me - this was sent to me (and apparently others 'cos it was posted on a bunch of blogs already) and I asked who the f-ck this dude was. Apparently he's an NYC DJ but I've never heard of him and I've lived in the city for a while now. Anyway I was told he's down with my dude Mark Ronson so I decided to give him a pass and jump on the bandwagon too. Check this dude's website out as well: his sampling of other well-known websites is some real hip hop sh-t but he better watch himself 'cos he's looking like an easy target for copyright infringement suits.
Jimmie Reign Go Girl mixtape - the next Bay Area soul singer to blow after Keyshia Cole and Goapele? (d/l the artwork here | MySpace)
