Now this came rather unexpected..Blu & Exile quietly dropped the follow up to their 2007 release “Below The Heavens“. The new album called “Give Me My Flowers While I Can Smell Them“ was recorded back in 2009. Though the project is unmastered/unmixed it might be worth $15 to some. So get that now via Bandcamp.

So Co$$‘ new album is about to drop next month. First video is “Spaceman” and if my hunch is right “Before I Awoke” might just be that type of hype that you’ve been waiting for. A few cameo’s on there from Blu, Aloe Blacc and Shawn Jackson. Production wise he called in the help of Exile, Fonetik Simbol, J83, Knxwledge, Cook Classics, Erik L and Chief. Really looking forward to this one dropping June 7th on Tres Records!

After Cologne’s JR & PH7 released their debut album “The Standard” last year they’re back in bizness with their next effort, simply entitled “The EP”. The six track strong EP features artists like Blu, Termanology, Oddisee, Ohmega Watts & Trek Life and sounds fresh. I really like what these guys are bringing out time after time and they always work with vocalists I dig (accept for Eternia…not my thing). I urge you guys to check this one out for yourselves and let us know what you think. This EP might just be sort of a warm up for even bigger things to come…in the form of their sophomore album “The Update”. It’s due to drop this fall on Soulspazm Records, but more info on that later. Make sure to support good music like this and buy “The EP” on now!

Yeah I know we kinda late, but all things have a reason. Anyways I didn’t want you guys to miss out on this 1 killer joint on TiRon‘s new “MSTRD” release. Nev and me thought long & hard and concluded we waited waaaaaay too long for this to drop, while in the end we were kinda disappointed. Please do enjoy “The Richers” featuring Blu and Asher Roth…produced by the homie Oddisee. Download the entire thing HERE!

I’m sure we all haven’t forgotten about what happened in Haiti in January. With the “Notes For Haiti” compilation album, Detroit and L.A. join unite and come together on one album to show love and support. Most songs you might already know, but still well worth the support! Check the official press release…
Moved by the catastrophic earthquake and aftershocks that ravaged the island nation of Haiti, a group of artists is asking the public to remember the difference each of us can make. The project, “Notes for Haiti”, is a way for the collective to thank the public for their support of the island nation to date – and hopefully inspire folks to give more of the help that’s that still needed.
Estimates are that beyond the more than 230,000 Haitians who lost their lives as a result of the earthquakes, another 300,000 were injured and over one million were left homeless.
The album is available digitally in a “pay-what-you-want” format as of Tuesday, June 1, 2010 through the website notesforhaiti.bandcamp.com. All proceeds from album sales and donations are funneled directly to Oxfam America’s ongoing Haiti relief efforts.
The compilation features exclusive content and album material from Karriem Riggins, eLZhi (Slum Village), Blu, Fashawn, Exile, Aloe Blacc, Crown Royale (Buff 1 and DJ Rhettmatic), Invincible, Now On (Mayer Hawthorne, IX Lives, Jackson Perry), 14KT, Houseshoes, Co$$, Sene, AB, Marv Won, Jordan Rockswell, and SlopFunkDust.
The concept behind the “pay-what-you-want” format (used previously by bands such as Radiohead) is that the user can dictate the price paid for the album as a whole, or for each song purchased individually (for as little as $1). The donations are processed directly to Oxfam America through the secure BandCamp-PayPal portal, removing unnecessary overhead or infrastructure costs at the point of sale.
Oxfam is working in multiple locations to provide clean water, sanitation, shelter, seeds and running cash for work programs. Though their public appeal to Haiti has closed (for the time), this project will continue to affect their ongoing efforts on the island.
Detroit natives Niles Heron (Los Angeles) and Sarah Lockridge-Steckel (Boston) executive produced the album with gracious contributions from artists, promoters, managers, and good people nationwide.
Please visit the Notes For Haiti Bandcamp page and give generously! I just donated $5 and I truly hope that you, you and yes you have a heart as well and dig deep into your pockets. We’re only streaming these two bangers at a low bitrate, cuz for only $1 you can BUY the entire album.

I remember that we posted about Chief’ “Collaboration Collection” last year. It was a collection of the beats he made between 2005 and 2009. The album features Moka Only, John Robinson, Kissey Asplund, Dynas, Blu, Co$$, Les Nubians and others. Now he is back with another jazzy/sample based album as an unofficial tribute to jazz pianist and composer Chick Corea. A collection of 10 Chick Corea reworks by Chief. You can download the album for FREE here.

Guess there is no need to introduce Blu, Exile & Fashawn. But just wanted to let you know that their on a Europe Tour right now, so if their in your neighbourhood make sure you get some tickets to see the show. They will perform in my hometown Rotterdam this sunday, and as a promo for the tour the homies Sunan and Grandmaster Lee AKA The Superblenders made this mix. Nice way to get warmed up for the show.
