In 2006 Up Hygh released one of the best albums of the year (when it comes to deep, down, dirty hip hop with an electronical twist). Residing from Stockholm these guys (Rik Skizzo and Pure Pare) knew how to bang out a quality album. They used crispy drums, deep bass and knew their way around synths for sure. If you’re in for a fantastic ride, I suggest you get yourself a copy of “The Venus High” album. You’re in for a real treat with features by Little Brother, Planet Asia, Eska, ADL & Melo! Too bad they broke up, but still a massive slept on album if you ask me.

A couple of days ago DJ Day was saying how he loved the days of Cold Chillin’ and it kinda took me back for a second. Pretty funny how I just bumped into this post on the Stones Throw website. I know you want at least one of these tees, so get to buying HERE!
Stones Throw, in conjunction with Biz Markie, photographer George DuBose, Soul-Cal and Traffic Entertainment Group, presents the exclusive sale of a series of Cold Chillin’ tee shirts.

Now, for the first time, the label’s iconic logo (originally designed by Haze) and DuBose’s cover imagery of one of its larger-than-life stars, are available as officially licensed tee shirts. In weeks to come, these shirts will also be available at select retailers across the world. Exclusive color ways and other Cold Chillin’ designs will continue to roll out over the course of 2009.
