I haven’t been up on the summertime mixtapes but here’s one that the homie Dj Smoov Groovs(Homegrown Blends/Snap Judgment) put out. I’m not just saying this cause he’s my homie, but he’s true musician by heart. Take a break from your hip hop mixtapes and LISTEN to something out of the norm. Shout outs to Snap Judgment andSmoov Groovs for putting together this  summertime masterpiece. Spread the word, burn it on CD and import it into your ipod. DON’T SLEEP!

So I kinda got to tap into Sac Town’s talent pool. To tell the truth, I thought Sac Town didn’t have shit, I mean c’mon… You see nothing but cows and tumbleweed on the way over here. I discovered DLRN(5th Ave and producer Jon Reyes) through the homie Jason, he was mastering their album and I just happened to walk in on him *Pause*. DLRN really brings that quality hip hop to the table and I encourage you to download their new EP “The Bridge”. If you don’t, then you’re SLEEPIN! Spread the word yall.

Fun fact: Got a chance to help master “Reset” with the homies Jason and Anthony

The only karate school I would attend at my age.

I’m very glad to present to you the 2010 Unisex Fit of the year. I call it the “I’m steezy and ready to go to church” look. Not hating at all, just calling it like it is.

Included in this photo:

-Tan Feddy(Fedora)

-Legendary white tee

-Classic black Ray Bans

& of course … .

-The Rosary

This was when I was actually interested in watching music videos. What happen to the wittiness that hip hop used to have?

Some hilarious shit from @Questlove, The Frank Show. 

A musical way to throw up gang signs. 

Clutchy Hopkins- Verbal Headlock

Clutchy Hopkins is purportedly a multi-instrumentalist musician based out of California. His existence has not yet been fully verified, though he is widely believed to be a pseudonym for one of several popular DJs. The true identity of the person (or people) behind the music is not publicly 

Perfect time to drop a song like this. Peep the flavor. I present to you Reflection Eternal’s “Ballad of the Black Gold”.
