What I'm Watching ... @mike_tompkins Feat. @ShadKMusic "Only Girl" (a cappella cover)

I caught this joint featuring Shad over on Shad's FB page this morning. Shad is a dope Canadian emcee who has been a favorite of mine for some time. However what really makes this video dope is Mike Tompkins. This is a really fresh a cappella cover of Rihanna's "Only Girl" track. Enjoy.

Our very good friend Mike Tompkins (Shad recorded The Old Prince at Mike's studio in 2007) has been killlllllling it with these videos lately. He asked Shad to join him on his latest.

Download ... @Evidence "I Don't Need Love"

This project is dope. The Cali emcee Evidence (of Dilated Peoples) dropped the EP I Don't Need Love inspired by The Beatles today. As he stated in a FB post, his intentions was to release a track "but somewhere between the files being sent to get mixed and mastered and sent back the entire project leaked." So, instead of fighting it, Evidence embraced it and decided to push the whole thing out early. And the nine track EP is a solid listen from front to back. So, download and enjoy. Chea!
