Here's an Episode to hold you all over until the next full show! Steppin' Outta the Matrix to throw some different sounding tracks at y'all! See the track listing below!
After hearing the "Black & Brown" single on Black Milk's Album of the Year last year, like many of you, I couldn't stop playing the song on repeat. Danny Brown seemed to settle right in on a Black Milk production, and it was infectious. So when I heard this collab album Black and Brown was being put together, I was overwhelmed with anticipation. And now after listening to the album, it was for good reason. Like Guru (or Royce Da 5'9") to DJ Premiere, or Eric B to Rakim, or Snoop Dogg to Dr. Dre, it feels like one of Black Milk's purposes for being a producer was to create music for one of Detroit's most prolific MC's (that would be Danny Brown). It just fits.... perfectly. Although it seems like a very experimental, and sometimes off-in-left-field kind of album, next to Elzhi's Elmatic, this has to be one of the best albums to come out of the D's independent scene this year.

Here's a mini-episode. After 5 months of planning, meetings, discussions, money, time and energy....Major and I came down coincidentally at the EXACT same time with some whicked I don't know what. Sick for a week straight, we had no chance and were forced to cancel ALL of our SXSW plans and lose a lot of money we put into going to this event. So we apologize you guys, we had our hearts set on this thing only to see it come crashing down due to 102 degree fevers amongst other things.
We'll see you all next episode, March 24th 7:30pm EST. Hop on the show announcements list.

Inspired by our trip to South By South West this year (catch us down there March 17-20) we loaded up this episode with music features by artists who will be performing at the festival down in Austin, Texas. We also got a few minutes to speak with hip-hop coordinator of SXSW and owner of AustinSurreal.com, Matt Sonzala. We also had Strong Arm Steady's Arms and Hammers on the the lid for blend it or bump it and we mixed up some real delicious #TigerBlood for the stash box. Hit the notes for the recipe!

Okay maybe Episode 129 WASN'T our last show of 2010. But this one is. Enjoy some of our favorite tracks from past episodes of this year and make sure you pay close attention to the first song in this episode. HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY NEW YEAR YALL!!
One of my personal most anticipated albums of 2010 and by the sounds of these cuts, and the features with Elzhi, Danny Brown, Royce and Monica Blaire it's not going to disappoint. There's going to be an album release party featuring the Will Sessions band in the D this month at St. Andrews, and I'm excited as hell about it. If all works out well, your boys will definitely be in the house.
