That’s me on the left! Hahaha…we (The Stuyvesants) were invited by DJ Jon Oliver to come and do a guest spot on his set, The Main Ingredient on East Village Radio last night (BIG shout out to Jon!). We had a blast answering questions, talking about the album, art, life, and good music. If you missed it, you can check it out here.
By the way, our listening party for “The Stuyvesants” album will be held this Friday, August 13th at CLOUD in Bed-Stuy…hit me up for details! Hope you all can come out…
Peace.

On stands now…issue 41 from my favorite magazine out there, Waxpoetics. This is the third hip-hop issue and it features two separate front and back cover images (I’ll definitely try to get my hands on both, it’s the collector in me). Ice Cube and Ice-T (West) on one, KRS-One and EPMD (East) on the other, each being legends in the game. Go support, and be sure to check out the Waxpoetics Storefront, there you can find anything from records, digital downloads, books, dvd’s, cd’s, tees, etc!

I’ve been waiting for the second official release from Madvillain, well they finally released a single from the upcoming album. This is sounding pretty dope! I expected nothing less. The German sample that they used is craaaaazy!
Madvillain / Papermill

Madlib Medicine Show 5 / The latest installment to the “Madlib Medicine Show” series is #5, which is an archive of his beats created between 1990 and 2000. I heard it and was once again blown away by how nice Madlib is with the beats! I had to share a few of my favs from this record here on the site. You can purchase the album from the Stones Throw online store.

Madlib / Episode XI

CAMP LO (DEMOS)
Since posting the “Luchini” video, I’ve gone back to all of my Camp Lo records and tapes just rediscovering their sound past and present. I came across their demo tape and thought I’d share it with you all. These guys were so far ahead of their time, listen to the way they rhymed back in 1995…these are rhymes that still stand VERY strong even today. Poised, focused, on purpose, innovative, creative, just a few words that describe what the Lo brings to the table. Enjoy…
Camp Lo / Bubblin’ (Demo)
Camp Lo / Coolie High (Demo)
Camp Lo / Feelin’ It (Demo) – Note: This beat was intended to be used originally for Camp Lo, not Jay-Z
