Blitz The Ambassador - On My Mixtape Shit
Submitted by Fivefold on Mon, 06/21/2010 - 20:04Recently, Blitz the Ambassador released Stereolive, an EP of select live recordings off of his debut album, Stereotype. I felt compelled to shine some light on a mixtape that served as an appetizer to his debut album last year. The mixtape gives a glimpse at the Blitz live experience but above all it highlights Blitz's approach to music. The delivery is very energetic and engaging. He's done the knowledge and studied the classics. Despite a clear displeasure with the current state of hip-hop, he keeps a positive outlook. Blitz The Ambassador and his band, the Embassy Movement, are a welcome breath of fresh air. With that said, I appreciate that this came out on my birthday last year. July 28 is not far, maybe we can get a Volume 2? How about it Blitz?
The Roots - Dilla Joints
Submitted by Fivefold on Sun, 05/23/2010 - 13:22The government is James Yancey. The alias are Jay Dee, J Dilla, or Dilla for short. As saddening and tragic it was to lose Dilla to lupus a few years back, it was more distressing to realize that most of the world would never recognize how much of a genius he was. It is probably with that thought in mind that his peers and admirers have been on a relentless campaign to keep his name alive.We're talking about shows, mixtapes, albums, t-shirts and everything in between. The Roots have collaborated on several occasions with the Dilla and have remained some of the most ardent ambassadors of his music. Here they've compiled their renditions of some of J Dilla's finest work. Dilla Joints, a delightful treat.
