Here is a day captured in time. One morning I had to take my brother to set and for the first time I ended up at the beach since i’ve been living in LA. Needless to say it was gorgeous and I had some new “low end theory” style beats from this very talented producer A. Goldstein. I realized i had left my headphones and the story begins….
Been bumping this new Fonzworth Bentley jawn since yesterday. Just had to post this one, cuz I’m lovin’ it like Mickey D. Head over to to get some tasy new music of the “C.O.L.O.U.R.S” album.

Brand new video of FlyLo‘s “Cosmogramma” album featuring Stephen ‘Thundercat’ Bruner. The video was directed by team ‘Special Problems’ and is cosmicly soothing if you ask me. ”Mmmhmm” happens to be my fav and so I’m happy they picked this song for the video. Big ups to HipHopDX for yet another one. Album still available through Rush Hour on CD or vinyl or go for digital at iTunes
Peep the brand new video for Shafiq Husayn‘s “Cheeba” featuring Bilal, off of the critically acclaimed album “Shafiq En’ A-Free-Ka” released via Plug Research and available on Directed by Kahlil Joseph and produced by What Matters Most.
I just happened to be messing around on Twitter and came across this... Ayomari‘s debut project “The Peanut Butter & Jelly Solution”. The album features Tiron and Tunji, and got Just Blaze, Les Nubians, Sa-Ra Creative Partners, Exile, & James Poyser on production. Don’t know if those beats are cleared officialy, but either way I like the project. You can download the album for free at Thecafeterialine.

First of all I’d like to give due props to Osman for gettin’ is hip to Stalley. He sent us a video a few months back and we liked it a lot, but I personally never digged deeper than that. Now my man Deluge recently did and in light of his On-Point interview, I thought it would be only right to get ya’ll hip to Madstalley as well.
This Ohio native hailing from New York dropped his mixtape “MadStalley: The Autobiography” last year, done over re-workings of Madlib beats showcasing his potential. Now 2010 is definitely Stalley’s year to blow. Stalley’s heavily featured on Ski Beatz upcoming “24 Hour Karate School” mixtape (on Dame Dash’ Creative Control label) and is also set to release a project in collaboration with Sa-Ra Creative Partners.
