Check It ... Reinvention "Forgot" feat. Florence and The Machine

I caught this track in the email a few days ago. It sat, like many emails. Sometimes I'm lazy. I finally opened it. I dig it. I'm now sharing. If you dig it, pay it forward and share this ish too!

"We’re DJ Entendu and Classic, and together we make up Reinvention. Reinvention is a two-piece experimental hip-hop outlet from Drexel University, founded just a few months ago in the same studios that spawned Chiddy Bang. We blend influences from indie rock and electronica with more traditional hip-hop music and try to make huge bangers that can appeal to anybody from a dancing fiend to a top-down, wind-in-your-hair, cross-country roadtripper."

The Journey to Hip-Hop ... Connecticut: The Protege (of Phenetiks)

The Protege was born and raised in Waterbury, Connecticut. I grew up in Waterbury. Spent most of my childhood and a portion of my adult life there. Oddly enough though, the first time I caught any music from The Protege was by way of his "No Pressure" video a few weeks back. The visuals caught me and his flow sealed the deal. I wanted to hear more of his stuff. The dude is dope. Check these cuts from the Connecticut emcee!

The Journey To Hip-Hop ... Connecticut: d_Cyphernauts - "The Suspense"

These guys I've seen perform and met a bunch of times and they're good dudes. Educated, Hip-Hop loving MCs that hosts Enter The Cipher every 3rd Friday at Cousin Larry's in Danbury, CT, a staple for that event as much as this track we got for you here. Not your ordinary set of MCs from the name of their group (d_Cyphernauts), to their individual names (Othello & Nemesis Alpha), to their performances on stage. Definitely should check them out. Here's the track they hooked me up with titled "The Suspense", produced by Connecticut native Sketch Tha Cataclysm.
