I finally got it and have been killing it ever since. Jay Mills gave me the go ahead to feature it, so enjoy the track of the week. Don't forget to hit that subscribe button!
We featured poet Caits (Caitlin) Meissner on the blog back in our early days. I remember hearing her poetic flow over subtle beats and thinking she was so fresh and dope. Well, Caits is back with a new project, "The Wolf & Me", which hits May 1, 2010. She released "Blackest Blood" (produced by Just Plain Ant) ahead of the full project. Check out the bandcamp page to hear the track. It's a very mellow and enjoyable track. Check it out. Also check out www.caitsmeissner.com for more information about the upcoming project.
I caught "Fade Out" in the email today after sending out a request for tracks to be considered for our weekly podcast. I'm a little late on the upload of this mixtape, Life's Not So Sample 2 (www.lifesnotsosample2.com) but it's definitely worth the download. Check out volume one in the series too (www.lifesnotsosample.com).
I caught this four track beat tape from *hitmayng. Overall the project is fresh but "julyjulyjulyjuly" is definitely my favorite track. If I could rhyme, I'd do something over the jawn. But, I can't rhyme. Maybe you can rhyme and if so, you should holla at the kid to do something over the track.
I caught this track earlier today. After doing a little research, came across this regarding the track.
"Aiight folks, backstory on Star: This was recorded back in '05-06 at Young Guru's crib sometime after the release of Minstrel Show. This was intended for Leftback as an iTunes bonus track but we just got word today that @9thwondermusic doesn't want us to use it for whatever reason, and that's fine. In any event, I'm not gonna let anything or anybody stop me from getting music to my fans. Fuck that. Enjoy. And as always, thank you for listening" -@phontigallo
I caught this track from the good folks over at Uncommon Records from Agartha Audio's newest project, The Hollow Earth. It's fresh. If you dig it, go and check out the album over at iTunes. Enjoy.

I first heard Lola Maxwell a week or so ago when someone sent me her video to "Assembly". I was impressed. I found myself looking for more of her music. As I went through track after track, I continued to be impressed by the female emcee out of the DMV. Her new project, Basik Edukation, dropped today. I listened to a bit of it in the wee hours of the morning and continued to check it throughout the day while at work. It's dope. Lola Maxwell is a talented female emcee. scratch that ... Lola Maxwell is a TALENTED EMCEE, regardless of gender. Go ahead and download Basik Edukation now and thank me later. And to give you a taste, check out one of my favorite cuts off the project, "The Perfect Stranger". Enjoy.
"Lola Maxwell is of a kind in this new era of music. She emulates the “back in the day” hip-hop and is still distinguishable by with her own sound. Lola Maxwell is an aspiring Hip Hop artist from Washington, DC. “Hip-hop has lost its touch” Ms. Maxwell feels that through her music and with a dedicated fan base she can change that. Her lyrics target the intellectual thoughts of the masses as well as their fantasies. She doesn’t feel the need to compose raunchy lyrics and tasteless records in order to sell records or entertain. So, she releases Basik Edukation: The Mixtape¸ as her sixth studio compilation hosted by MATunes.net and Datpiff.com."
Gotta thank my homegirl @MoReilley for this. Almost forgot she sent me this. Gotta hit me in the email if I'm left to remembered things. Hahaha. But anyways, I got it to ya so check it out. Stanza continues to impress me. Hope he does the same for you.
