Download ... The Five One "Free Remixes"


I've been slacking on checking the email over the last few days, mostly because I've been overworked at the day job. Yeah, day jobs suck but they pay the bills. I was pleased to find this project in the email. This The Five One project has been sitting for a few days too. I finally got the opportunity to check it out today. I'm definitely not disappointed. The band, out of the DMV, is pretty dope. Check out the Wale "Pretty Girls" cover, as well as their full project. Enjoy.

"The Life Of A Teenage Champion is the basic sleep-eat-create lifestyle. To me, I’m doing what I love in simplest form and I rarely let anything bother that tranquility." - Thelonious Martin"

Happy Happy Joy JOY ... @EricMire and @MelissaCzarnik "Oh Come All Ye Faithful" [LIVE]


I caught this joint in an email from Melissa Czarnik (one of the coolest people I've ever met that I never met in person). Czarnik performed "Oh Come All Ye Faithful" with the Eric Mire Band down at WMSE 91.7 FM (Milwaukee) as part of a 12 song Christmas album sponsored by ThirdCoast Digest and WMSE.
"Poet/emcee Melissa Czarnik often performs live with the Eric Mire Band, a jazz-hip hop group, to blend Czarnik’s heartfelt and punchy lyrics with the bands funky and soulful rhythms. They were partners in our holiday song project, and the result is “O Come All Ye Faithful” as it’s never been heard before. The band comprises guitarist Eric Mire on guitar, Chip Baily (drums), Brad Bloom (sax), Don Bradshaw (Latin percussion) and Maurice Cotton (keys/vocals)."
