For those of you who have been following my writing, you know that Fashawn is one of my favorite emcees. His album Boy Meets World is a regular spin for me, and I think the kid is going to be doing big things; Apparently XXL thinks the same thing. Fashawn is the number four freshmen, and this is his promo video with a nice little thirty second freestyle. If you haven’t done yourself the favor of buying Boy Meets World, it’s probably about time that you do; don’t sleep on this kid.

Talk about the definition of epic. I’m pretty sure this album was suppose to come out right before Christmas, but nonetheless, here we are with some official artwork and a tracklisting. The thing that gets me is that there are no producer credits listed by the tracks; this is going to drive me nuts. I really want to know who is producing on this album. There is no official release date yet either, but I’m sure we will hear soon enough. Follow me after the jump for the tracklisting. Continue reading
My 2010 Dilla Day Mix
Posted in Audio, Downloads, Media with tags Atmosphere, De La Soul, Dilla Day 2010, Finale, Ghostface, J Dilla, Jaylib, MF Doom, mix, MOOD, Oh No, Raekwon, Royce Da 5'9", Skillz, Slum Village, The Roots on Thursday, February 18, 2010 by Tim Althaus
I don’t know if you guys were readers last year around this time, but I did this exact same thing. I am a huge fan of J Dilla; he is a huge inspiration to me. I actually made this mix on what would have been Dilla’s 36th birthday. I took a lot of time thinking about what tracks would go smoothly together, but I also thought about what tracks of his were among my favorites. The outcome? 23 tracks of straight unadulterated Jay Dee goodness.
I figured I would post this mix here because I really want everyone to be able to have it; it’s nothing big, but if one more person starts to listen to Dilla because of it, then I’ve done my job. James Yancey really was the king of the beats, and his presence is strongly missed in the music world. All of the tracks on this mix are either produced by or featuring J Dilla (with the exception of one).

Little Brother, Leftback (Artwork & Tracklisting)
Posted in Album Update, Music News with tags Big Pooh, Leftback, Little Brother, Phonte on Thursday, February 18, 2010 by Tim Althaus
I know, I know, I’m a little bit late on this one, but you know what they say: “It’s better late than never”. I really hope most people are as excited as I am about this one. Phonte and Big Pooh will be dropping their fourth and final album Leftback on April 20th through Hall of Justus Records. I have to say, I’m sad to view the absence of 9th Wonder from the producer credits, but other than that, this album looks like it’s going be some quality material. I’m a huge Little Brother fan, so I can assure you that I will be picking up my copy on April 20th. Follow me after the jump for the tracklisting. Continue reading
