Marco Polo – “Newport Authority 2” (Album)
May 2, 2013
Marco Polo blessing the masses with a nice freebie, as promised. Pick “Newport Authority 2” up at the nearest download spot…quickly. By the way, the nearest download spot: at the bottom of this post. Haaa!
‘The “Newport Authority 2” album was inspired by politics & industry bullsh*t that prevented this material from being included on “PA2: The Director’s Cut.” Shylow and I went in and created a separate album to hold people over until “PA2” drops in July… Plus the sh*t is free – so enjoy!’

Snoop Dogg On ‘HuffPost Live’ (Video)
April 23, 2013
Snoop appeared as a guest on HuffPost Live to promote his album “Reincarnated” (out now). That was the main intent. But you Snoop does what Snoop does… like firing up the weed and freestyling … LIVE!
He didn’t mean to though. He said so in the clip above. You can watch the entire sit-down on the HuffPost Live here.
He also spoke on his transition from gangsta/pimpin’ to a new persona pushing peace and non-violence; even weighing on the Rick Ross “didn’t know” lyric controversy. Good stuff.

Uptown XO (of Diamond District) – “Evolution” (Video)
April 19, 2013
This new “Evolution” joint by DC emcee Uptown XO is dope but I’m really looking forward to see him reconnect with his Diamond District fam for a brand new project. This new one will hold us over until then. The visual presentation above for “Evolution” (produced by AB The Pro, from his album “Colour de Grey”) was directed by Backie T.
‘Introspective, stylish and gritty, XO is a reflection of his DC environment. “Colour de Grey” straddles commericial appeal and underground grit, utilizing street smart lyrical content with an ear to the political, along with infectious soul stirring, head-nodding production.’

Illastrate – “Henny Loggins Show” (EP)
March 7, 2013
Atlanta based producer Illastrate is one of ‘illest’ producers who’s been consistently releasing quality product on the low for a while now. His masterful & often soulful production credits continues to grow albeit rather quietly to the larger mainstream audiences. As much as he’s known throughout the Atlanta true school & soul scene for his tracks he’s almost equally known amongst those in the know for the wild alter-egos he employs such as “Hoodie Allen” & of course his latest alias inspired by songwriter Kenny Loggins & his love for Hennessy to become “Henny Loggins”. Wasn’t surprised when he chose the latest moniker for ‘SEASON 1’ as the title of the new project series featuring artists Ekundayo, Boog Brown, Stanza, Mike Flo, Yamin Semali, Arablak, & more. If you just want to vibe out to his dope tracks minus all the vocals, Illastrate also provided an instrumental version of the project as well. Listen or download the joints below….
