Welcome to Blutopia Comic Strip: “Spinnaz”

welcome to blutopia is the brainchild of me and the art of dre with piensa art company. basically it’s loosely based on me being an emcee/photographer/writer (that’s such a stretch right?) and it has a bunch of wacky shit going on. this one is titled ‘spinnaz’ and it’s complaint about people putting huge rims on everything. remember the chris rock special? i figured eventually you’ll see 24s on a kid’s bike or even worse a baby stroller. anyways, dre did a great job. hope you enjoy it, more to come and be on the look out when we feature piensa art company for the look @ me showcase. stay tuned. peace.

Off The Shelf #5: Nicolay & Ugene – Love Is In Control (Finger On The Trigger) FREE DOWNLOAD

nicolay hands down is probably my favorite producer right now. the success with ‘leave it all behind’ makes me have just a little more faith in the buying public. it was a pleasure being able to work with him and to show how cool of a dude he is, he leaves exclusive treats on his site for-zee-free. latest installment is nicolay & ugene-love is in control (finger on the trigger).

also, if you didn’t check it out he also has other treats with a section his site called off the shelf. keep up with it as he’ll be dropping stuff there on the regular. and it maybe a little old, but fug it, check out my interview with nicolay for vapors magazine. more to come.

J.Period & Q-Tip: The [Abstract] Best Volume One

i drove around today and literally listened to nothing but ‘get a hold’ by a tribe called quest. i fucking love that song, and quite frankly i fucking love q-tip and his importance to hip-hop. even though it’s been out a while, i just thought it would be fitting to put j.period’s mixtape the abstract best volume one up for those that haven’t heard it. j.period is probably my favorite dj making mixtapes right now and with good reason, he’s thorough as hell. not only are the re-envisioned songs dope as hell (like de la soul doing their version of tribe’s ‘excursions’) but he has the people involved with tip tell stories behind the songs (two in particular that i love are the stories about the making of ‘we got that jazz’ and how ‘award tour’ came to be). not much more to say but to download this and love it. it’s been in heavy rotation in my iPod since it came out and i can’t wait for volume 2. peace yall….and boom goes the dynamite. download here now.
