And remember.. Turn It Up!
Detroit mc Finale is a lyrical monster. What happens when a monster comes across a weakling? Take a wild guess. A Pipe Dream And A Promise coming soon.
Boombox was insane last night. DJ’s House Shoes and J Rocc destroyed the turntables. Illa Jay smashed ish, closing his set with the incredible “Timeless”. All night, Dilla beats. House Shoes even played the “Misdemeanor” joint! I went bonkers. In fact, I went bonkers for over two hours straight. Even moshed with a cat. Mad, mad fun. Lotsa “names” were in the house, I’m not the paparazzi so I’m not gonna put anyone on blast. In fact, just go to twitter to get more details. Let’s just say, the Dilla birthday edition of Boombox was the ultimate. Enjoy the pics.

Spotted this one @ MichiganHipHop.com and freaked out. This is not only one of my favorite Slum Village songs, but one of my favorite songs of all time. So of course, here’s the audio: Slum Village “Pregnant” [mp3].
Do you realize that Slum Village, Anti-Pop Consortium, Camp Lo AND Souls of Mischief are all poised to drop albums this year? 2009 is gonna be big fun.
Bonus: Slum Village “Fantastic (Instrumental)” [mp3]
