As I mentioned in a previous post, the album will play out like a radio show with Dilla’s idol Pete Rock playing the program director.

Soundset 2009 is almost Here!

Posted in Music News with tags on Wednesday, May 13, 2009 by Tim Althaus

That’s right guys, next Sunday is Sound Set at Canterbury Downs in Shokapee. If you are in the area and have any good sense of right and wrong you will be at this show. I can garantee you that most, if not all of the guys from Mind Inversion will be there getting all the coverage that you crave. Over 8 hours of quality Hip-Hop is something that you should not miss.
