The Foreign Exchange should have won the Grammy for Daykeeper.  Period, full-stop.  Well, Phonte & Nicolay return this fall with an opportunity for voting members to right this wrong, in the form of their third studio album Authenticity.  Based on the first single Maybe She’ll Dream Of Me, October 12th will be a Tuesday to remember.

Together they’re a banging group, and as individuals they can kill a mic.  For example Tab-One dropped The Tabloids a while back, and I’ve been rocking it ever since.  It was hard to pick a couple of tracks for a preview.  The Tabloids is one album I can wholely say the this is dope.  Download Tab-One – The Tabloids here.  Check out other Kooley High projects and keep an eye out for when they come to your town.  BIG thanks Tab-One for making good music.  I’ll catch you cats when you visit SoCal again.

One Day – Introducing Kooley High from BECAUSEUS on Vimeo.

I heard Kooley High’s mixtape (Kooley is High) and was digging it. Later I seen these cats out in LA on the grind. Handing out CD’s to everyone they could, and talking it up with other Hip Hop heads. I went to 2 events that weekend, and seen them on the move. It made me really curious about the documentary One Day, so later that week I watched it. It’s not that long, but packed with an insight of who Kooley High is. Take the time and check it out. Download Kooley High – Kooley is High here. BIG thanks to Kooley High for making good music.

Now I’m a little biased because I dig Madlib anyways, but Dub MD has found a good variety of Madlib produced tracks to make a kick mixtape.  Check it out for yourself and see what I’m talking about. Download Madicinal Libationz here. Check out what Cyrano is up to on MySpace, and check out Dub MD’s next production. BIG thanks to  Dub MD for giving me the heads up. Keep those cazy mixes coming.

I got an email from Dub MD Promotions and this track was in it. I replied with a thanks and will get to it. Well when I did, I was like wow that’s hot. Madlib makes some bangers, but this cat Cyrano gives a good balance to the beat. With the addition of Silent Knight this track will end up on your heavy rotation playlist. On April 13th check for Dub MD & Cyrano aka Cy Yung presents “Madicinal Libationz: Flow Springz Eternal. BIG thanks to Dub MD for shooting it over.
