Buff1 has decided he won’t be leaving 2009 without releasing something for the people. He’s currently finalizing details to release a project, “It’s a 1derful Life”, on December 2nd. The project will feature many of his most coveted guest appearances as well as new and unreleased music. “The Best Are Full of Love” was originally recorded by Shawn Jackson for the “The New Classics” mixtape, but didn’t make the it onto the tape. A sick Cook Classics production with new verses from Buff and Diz Gibran make this a sick first release from Buff1’s upcoming project. Thanks to A-Side Worldwide and 2dopeboyz. Sidenote: As a ‘thank you’ to all of his supporters, Buff has decided the project will be a free download!

Red Bull Music Academy 2010 participant Illum Sphere drops the first vinyl ep of a two part album. ‘Long Live The Plan’ features six new tracks plus a Samiyam remix. I personally first heard of  Illum Sphere from MyManHenri, who put me on to this Illum Sphere Dublab Mix. After hearing the 7′ with Mono/Poly we knew Illum Sphere was someone to follow in 2010. This new EP is scheduled for a december release, but already got a first spin on Benji B and Mary Anne Hobbs.  You can head over to Fat City for more info, or just follow Illum Sphere on Twitter..
