Vandalyzm’sB!%^h Im’Mis Talented is a must have! When I interviewedBlack Spade a while ago, he was talking about his upcoming projects and the people he was working with. Vandalyzm’s name came up. Vandalyzm put out B!%^h Im’Mis Talented earlier this year and it’s been on heavy rotation since. Vandalyzm has put together his own tracks, tracks he’s produced and has been featured on including one my favorite tracks The Cool Out (featuring Black Spade & El Prez, produced by Black Spade). Trust me, you won’t skip a track. Download Vandalyzm – B!%^h Im’Mis Talented on Band Camp and check out his latest project The Proposal. BIG thanks to Black Spade for letting me know about this cat.

Gotta Be Karim – When You See Me (prod. Vandalyzm)
I’m a long time fan of Black Spade, so it was a really cool to get a chance to chat with him about past projects, stuff he’s working on now, and the future of Black Spade. He put out the mixtape Build and Destroy, and most recently a beat tape called The Day We Landed. I can’t stop playing either one. I met up with Black Spade at I Ced’s place when they were taking a break from working on some Hawthorne Headhunts’ tracks. I got a little insight about who Black Spade is and what his future plans are. I did learn one important lesson about doing interviews- Don’t stop recording until you leave, because we talked about everything. I know I’ll be doing another interview with him when he drops back into town. Check out Black Spade – The Day We Landed. BIG thanks Black Spade for taking the time, and making the music. Keep it going. BIG shout out to I Ced for the sound effects (ha ha) and the place.

When you’re out and about on the streets, you never know when someone is going to drop some dope tracks on you. That’s what happened to me the other day. I was kicking it at The Originators store and I spotted my man DJ Trackstar hanging out. We got to talk about projects and he dropped Rockwell Knuckles – Choose Your Own Adventure on me.  I first heard about Rockwell Knuckles via a tweet about a track that Black Spade produced. Shortly after that, Build and Destroy dropped with Breakthrough featuring Rockwell Knuckles. Long story short, on my way up to the bay I had Choose Your Own Adventure in my car and played it for 3 of the 6 hours it took me to drive. As I was driving I even tweeted a thanks to Trackstar for giving me this heads up.  You just have to give Choose Your Own Adventure a listen. It is dope. From the production to the clever lyrics, you’ll Choose Your Own Adventure.  Download Rockwell Knuckles – Choose Your Own here. BIG thanks Trackstar for the heads up on this one.

Oh yes, it’s that time again. October 2nd is going to be off the hook. The Boombox crew has come up with some heat for this line up. Ced No, Coultrain and Black Spade making up the incredible group the Hawthorne Headhunters.  If you don’t know them yet, this is your chance to hear their great sound.  Also keep an eye out for the Hawthorne Headhunters LP and their individual projects. Next on the bill my man Blu and his band No York. Blu is everywhere right now including a couple of tracks on The Roots new album. Blu is also getting ready to drop an LP, so keep your ears open. Show up at Boombox and catch a sneak peek to both groups and their new joints. Gotta love the first Saturday of every month, so get your dancing shoes, all of your friends, and head out to the Boombox. BIG thanks to the Boombox crew Inka One, Ben Diggin, and One Man Jazzfor putting on dope events.
I’ve been waiting for this since To Serve With Love.  If you don’t know about Black Spade, this is a good time to be introduced to him with his new mixtape Build and Destroy. Once you cop it, I guarantee you will be digging up everything else Black Spade makes. From St. Louis, Black Spade produces banging tracks and has a flow like no other. He’s made an instant classic with To Serve With Love (get it if you don’t have it). He is a member of the super group Hawthorne Headhunters, has contributed to many projects like Starship 27 compilation, and is now here to Build and Destroy. This mixtape is filled with crazy production by Black Spade that has a hypnotic sound that you’ll be nodding your head to.  Black Spade has gathered up equally dope guests from Coultrain to El Prez for this project.  This is one of those times I urge you to stop reading and download Black Spade – Build and Destroy NOW! Check out Black Spade on MySpace and Twitter. BIG thanks to Black Spade for making the music, and BIG shout to Trackstar, Union LA, & Smoking Section.

What else can i say about Black Spade…out right dope. CH isn’t on this level. I got “To Sever with Love” and waiting for the next album. In between time Black Spade has done a gang of guest apperances, remixes, and hosted a few HVW8 live sessions. He’s a man on the move, so try and catch up if you can. Check out more Black Spade on his MySpace page, and a.k.a. Stoney Rock.
