“It was all good just a week ago. . .”

It feels good to be back!  It’s been a week since the site went down and what a fucking week it was!  I won’t even get into details, but let it be known that the site being down ended up being the very LAST thing on my mind by the end of that 7 day period.  Holy shit. . .

Bun B x Talib Kweli ft. Colin Munroe – Don’t Die (Prod. by Beatnick & K-Salaam)

Hallway Jay from illRoots gives us the 411:

Here it is folks, the lead single for K-Salaam & Beatnick Presents Where The Streets Have No Name, powered by imeem.com and illRoots.com is finally here. After months of preparation and hard work Beatnick, K-Salaam and myself are proud to say that this is a very classic project. Paralleling similar projects before, the melodic sounds that K-Salaam & Beatnick are known for were put to the test as we couple very well known upcoming superstars with some of the most established artists ever. The project will have brand new original material over Beatnick and K-Salaam’s production from Lil’ Wayne, Bun B, Young Buck, Talib Kweli, K’Naan, Colin Munroe, Buckshot,U-N-I, Demarco, Tabi Bonney, Mikkey Halsted, Glasses Malone, Truck North and many more. Personally it was a privilege to work on this project and I hope that the months of perseverance and thought put into each track is noticed. This project will be completely free to you, our loyal audience, on July 27th. If you loved our mixtapes, you will enjoy our albums that much more.

Colin Munroe ft. XV – Last Cause (Remix)

This is so fuckin’ choice.  My favorite track from The Unsung Hero Mixtape gets remixed by XV.  For one of the only tracks on that mixtape that didn’t have a verse, this one definitely deserved one and rightfully got one.
