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!

To get in that L.A. vibe, here’s a fresh new Shawn Jackson joint of his upcoming “Brand New Old Me” album. Shawn gets a little help from people like Co$$, Thurzday (U-N-I) and JimiJames. On the productional side look out for ppl like Cook Classics, Astronote, Tony Ozier, Knxwledge and Beat Maker Beat. The title song was produced by Cook and we’ll drop that on a later note. I believe a video of “Lil Big Man” will be shot in a few weeks, so keep an eye out for that as well. In the meanwhile enjoy “Izichu” featuring Thurzday, produced by Beat Maker Beat and be on the look out for that vinyl, CD or digital release coming out on Tres Records next month.

buff1-the-best-are-full-of-love

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!

calilove-front

Since the summer is still in full effect, we from Moovmnt decided to drop some “Cali Love” on that ass. We selected a whole lot of niceness and asked Mr. Speak to mix together this ode to California for us. We played this one on the RBMA Radio show last month and stay tuned for the second hour that was mixed by Exile & DJ Day. Artwork was done by Deluge and please leave some nice comments or show some love. Oh tracklist after the jump..

Today has already started out to be a wonderful day…musically that is. One of Groningen’s finest Koen – also one third of Blocnotes – just hit us up with an unreleased Shawn Jackson track that (to our knowledge) was never released. Now apperently we need to keep telling ya’ll how stupidly fresh Mr. Jackson is and that he’s one of L.A.’s best. Massive shout out to our fam at Tres Records and A-Side Worldwide for keeping it live and Koen for the sickness!
