HEZEKIAH: OUT NOW!

noreply@blogger.com (Five Six Media) — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 21:52:00 +0000

Hezekiah is one of Philadelphia’s great producers/mc/filmmaker. He has always been on the cutting edge and has worked with everyone from Bilal to Santigold. He is one of the most prolific cats in the game. So prolific, that he has tons of ‘throw away’ beats that he posts. One of them was what is now Ways to Go featuring his sister Marjani. I called him and said you should make a tune for the label from this…and now you have it! A fantastic piece of Philly hip hop done the Philly way, with soul y’all!

BUTTERFLY X DOODLEBUG: FRESH OUT

noreply@blogger.com (Five Six Media) — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 19:34:00 +0000

So, everyone always asks me what happened to Digable Planets. Well, they broke up after the genius Blow Out Comb album, then re-united years later for a few tours in USA and Europe.

In between each member was prolific in releases. Doodlebug has released many mixtapes and albums. His new one, The Intifada, is out now and killing the underground. Butterfly released his Cherrywine album and appeared on my Adventures in LoFi album. Now he has just released his Shabazz Palaces project (they will be performing in Philadelphia on September 26 @ The Painted Bride). LadyBug, released a very eclectic and wonderful record, Trip the Light Fantastic a few years ago.

Now, I present the Butterfly and Doodlebug tour. The homies will be touring this fall performing some new t'ings in the works. Below is a demo of my fave Fresh Out!

John Hughes has died today. Of all the people to pass away these past few months, none feel this bad as John. His films are and will always be a part of our lives. These were the coming of age as I was coming of age....

Here are some of my favorite scenes....
