This man should need no introduction…

If you have been under a rock for the past few months, hailing from New Orleans, Jay Electronica has quickly become the champion emcee of the “Real” Hip-Hop movement.   With the help of hit-maker Just Blaze, Jay is readying his album for an upcoming release.

My peoples DJ Dub and Furious Styles compiled a great collection of Jay’s music that will introduce newbies to his work thus far.

Come join me this Thursday night to celebrate of the soft opening of DC’s highly-anticipated newest lounge, Recess…

Here’s the description from their site:

Recess is the brainchild of long time friends, Fisayo Esconsay and Brandon Howard. As college roommates, the pair created a name for themselves producing and promoting parties in D.C. With the help of design duo, Brian Miller (lead designer on D.C. hot spot The Gibson) and Lauren Winter, Recess promises to break the mould and provide an alternative to the bars and nightclubs currently in the area. Given their strong connections to the entertainment community, Recess will be a sanctuary for high profile out-of-towners, D.C. tastemakers and celebrities.

Recess DC
Soft Opening
w/ Supa Qool DJ Uncle Q
727 15th Street NW DC
No Cover
Doors at 10pm

My friend Jati called me last year and asked me if I had heard the new song by OC (Times Up, Return of The Crooklyn Dodgers) and AG (Showbiz and AG).  I thought the question strange as I had never before discussed either artist at length with him.  He told me to take a listen… and pay close attention to the chorus.

Me: What’s the hook?

Jati: It’s a scratch collage…

Me: Who did it?

Jati: Primo

Me: Word, ok?…

Jati: Sounds like your voice in the beginning

Me: WWWWWWWWWWW……TTTTTTTTTTTTTTT……..FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF…….????

I couldn’t believe it.  DJ Premier actually used a line of mine from Kev Brown’s Say Sumthin’…

They frontin, but I can see through ‘em

Their smile just masks the fact they wanna see me ruined

But I,

Pay it no mind, I gotta keep it moving

DOWNLOAD: OC & AG - 2 For The Money

I always wanted to say something (no pun intended) that would make someone sample me.  Kinda like Slick Rick and Chuck D and Prodigy and Kane…  And I always wanted it to be scratched up DJ Premier.

Can you say INSPIRED.

I LOVE HIP-HOP!

DOWNLOAD: The Couch Sessions Presents: A Tribute to Yukimi Nagano - Mixed by Supa Qool DJ Uncle Q

Winston from The Couch Sessions hit me up a few weeks back and told me he wanted to assemble a project in tribute to one of his favorite singers, front woman for the group Little Dragon, Yukimi Nagano…

Hmmm…

Hell yeah!

Here is what we came up with.  Officially released on The Couch Sessions, here is the press release:

The Couch Sessions, the Internet’s leading Alternative Urban music portal, announces it’s first mixtape, A Tribute to Yukimi Nagano, focusing on the the trailblazing career of the Swedish vocalist and lead singer of the group Little Dragon. In addition to her work with the world-renowned group, Yukmi has a long track record of incredible music, mixing her loves of Jazz, Hip-Hop, Trip-Hop, and R&B. Her sultry voice has graced projects from all over the world, from Swedish Jazz duo Koop and Japan’s Shuya Okino, to Brooklyn’s Ge-ology. Coming on the heels of Little Dragon’s much anticipated return to Liv Nightclub in DC on November 22nd and their latest album Machine Dreams, A Tribute to Yukmi Nagano will introduce listeners to rare and unreleased tracks that will surprise and delight her true fans.

Behind the boards of the mix is no other than Washington, DC’s own DJ Supa Qool DJ Uncle Q, creator of underground hip-hop party Uncle Q’s Living Room and the man behind Internet sensations The Maxwell Mix and The Raphael Saadiq Mixtape. A majority of the tracks were hand picked by Winston “Stone” Ford, creator of The Couch Sessions, and Yvette Travillian, most notably of production company SheWorks Entertainment.

Very serious.

The fellas and I mashed down NYC at one of the many CMJ performances scheduled for the week.  This one was courtesy of Brooklyn Bodega.

Shouts to DJ Parler who was gracious enough to let me use his set-up and record the performance; Big ups to Tanya Morgan and Pac Div.  Also to Wes Jackson and Brooklyn Bodega, who ran a very organized and tight ship.

And my mizzle Peter Rosenberg for the couch!
