I first heard of Buff1 years ago from my friend Dahlia when he dropped Pure. Moving Along (ft. Tiffany Page) & For U were my joints.  From then until now he’s dropped many joints, featured on ton’s of tracks, and joined forces with many heavy hitters like Rhettmatic (Crown Royale).  It’s A 1derful Life is a rundown of some projects and features that Buff1 has done, and it’s hosted by DJ Rhettmatic. It’s A 1derful Life is filled with high energy tunes that will make you dance.  In an earlier B+C post, the great folks at A Side Worldwide let us know this was coming, and it’s been in heavy rotation since.  Download Buff1 – It’s A 1derful Life here.  BIG thanks Steph for the heads up.  You’re a rock star.

Buff1, Shawn Jackson & Diz Gibran – The Best Are Full Of Love

Got an email from the good folks at A-Side Worldwide with a link to this video of Buff1, Diz Gibran, and Cook Classics reworking The Best Are Full Of Love.

The Best Are Full Of Love will be featured on Buff1′s upcoming album It’s a 1derful Life and Shaw Jackson’s mixtape, so keep an eye out. Download The Best Are Full Of Love here. Also check out Cook’s The Original Recipes! BIG thanks to Steph for the heads up and to Greg The Dude for making dope videos.

J Dilla – Reality Check (ft. Black Thought)

Ok, I was sleepin. I had downloaded this to check it out, but when I got to it I was like, “this has got some bangers.” I crept this in between my heavy rotations and it fit like a glove. I just kept nodding my head like the music didn’t skip a beat. “Stereo,” “Impossible,” and ” Calypso Flow” are just to name a few of my favs. Diz Gibran & Moonshie are like the new dynamic duo. I’ma stop talking and let you check it fo yo-self. Download “Soon You’ll Understand” from their site.  Swing by MySpace and see what else Diz Gibran and MoonShine are workin on. BIG thanks to Potholes In My Blog for this one. On and can’t forget those cats at Crooks & Castles.
