Gregthedude just hit us up via mail to share this brand new Shafiq Husayn “lil Girl” video he directed. It’s his debut and I have to say it’s pretty damn dope! It features artists like Erykah Badu, Talib Kweli, Jay Electronica, Thundercat, and Wood Harris. If you haven’t bought his “Shafiq Husayn “Shafiq En’ A-Free-Ka” album,  I advise you wake the f*ck up and buy it NOW! Thnx for this one Greg..

Dam-Funk‘s 5-LP set “Toeachizown” is now available for pre-order and will be shipping no later than the first Monday of 2010. The box set was previously delayed due to manufacturing issues beyond Stones Throws control. Dam-Funk compiled his debut album in five distinct, themed parts: LAtrik, Fly, Life, Hood and Sky. This box set contains the five records with five separate record covers, and they will not be available elsewhere. As a collector be sure to pick this up, because it looks finger licking good. Thanks to Stones Throw here’s another free goodie in the form of “The Sky Is Ours”…enjoy!
