My man Niles is always on the grind, and one of his many projects that I’m honored to write a post on is Notes For Haiti.  There are horrific events and disasters that hit home everyday, and when it passes for some, we must remember there are others still struggling through recovery and need our help.  Notes For Haiti is a full length compilation with an all star cast.  They not only want you to help the people of Haiti, but want you to nod your head to the beat.  Please donate anything that you can and download Notes For Haiti on BandCamp.  For more information on Oxfam America click here.  BIG thanks Niles for all that you do brotha.

CoSS & Sene – Let’s Begin

Boy Meets World is what you call an instant classic, without a doubt.  Fashawn put out One Shot One Kill and I couldn’t stop rocking that.  It was in heavy rotation on my iPod.  Boy Meets World was going to drop a few months later, but I didn’t have to wait that long. Fashawn and The Alchemist put out The Antidote which is also dope. Boy Meets World was produced by the one and only Exile. From Dirty Science to Below the Heavens you can’t stop him. Even if you haven’t heard of Fashawn (…yet), you can’t pass up another Exile banger. Boy Meets World is a must have, so GO BUY IT! BIG thanks Fashawn & Exile for making dope music.

Fashawn – Lupita

When the Turntable Lab has another in-store, GO! It was dope. Exile got the crowd movin, then Fashawn breaks out the mic. They give everyone a greeting and bust into the tracks from the upcoming album Boy Meets World. To keep the party going Exile kicks out some crazy beats on the MPC in between tracks. They set that place ablaze. There were are handful of guest apperences by Aloe Blacc, Evidence, and Planet Asia. But the kicker was the folks in the crowd like The Alchemist, El Prez, Blu, and Iriscience. I started leaving and noticed this other cat walking to Turntable Lab and it’s Houseshoes. The place was filled with Hip Hop that night, so next time show up. Getta copy of Boy Meets World when it breaks.
