Fresh for 2010...

Happy New Year, fam! We've been really busy getting this CE business in order, and I'm excited about the prospects for this new year. The next couple months are major for us as we prepare to shoot another video in anticipation for the release of Freezing World, which is Feb 16th.

Speaking of videos, much love to Justin at KevinNottingham.com for selecting "Crazy Things" as the #6 video of 2009! Definitely stay posted to their blog for dope independent hip-hop reviews, videos and news.

Anyway, the Freezing World Release Party is scheduled for Feb 26th at Smith's, and it is going to be off the chain. Beginning in March we are planning to hit the Southeast every weekend with the new line-up to create some buzz for the new record. We also plan to host some more in-town shows with a scaled-down line-up, bring out the MCs, MPCs and a DJ for a more intimate event...you'll get more info on that as it develops.



Found a cool blog for discovering hip-hop that is off-the-radar, musicalschizophrenia.blogspot.com. They showcase a ton of independent hip-hop, jazz, soul, etc. Even ran across one of our own albums, and I've been looking for this one, too. (I think they have Medicine, too, but you didn't hear it from me.) Enjoy while it's there, but make sure to support the artists, and remember to be careful of viruses when downloading free music on the sites that pop up. Never click on any banners, and surf at your own risk.

China Syndrome...

My man Eli Sweet just posted a link for his new mixtape. A collection of music he recorded here at the crib during his latest visits back from China. Some excellent verses/songs on this joint, really some of his best work to date. Mostly the production consists of tracks he "borrowed" from various producers, but he makes sure he gives credit where credit is due...respectfully. Eli is one of the nicest, and on China Syndrome, he's got his superman swagger on and shines on every track he blesses...don't sleep.



You can click the picture, or here to get to the download link. (I had to download Winzip since he made it a .zipx file, but it's worth it.)

Below are words from Eli himself:

Album Notes

1. THIS ALBUM IS FREE. IF YOU LIKE IT PASS IT ALONG TO YOUR FRIENDS.

2. I didn't pay for any of the beats on this album. Some of them were made by friends of mine, or offered by their creators for free download, but the majority were taken from other hip hop artists' mixtapes or albums without their permission. The production credits for the beats are listed below.

3. I stole that Usain Bolt punchline from my buddy Leif. We were freestyling and he dropped that shit; I thought it was funny, so I took it and ran with it. I told him about it and hes cool with. He gets props.
