With Brown Bag AllStar crew member the Audible Doctor on production, Sacramento's TUS representative Chuuwee goes off on The Crown Don't Make You King, from his upcoming project Crown Me King. This joint is serious. Hit play and enjoy. Chea!
Collectively known as the "Trifecta" (Gleams of NYC, Steel of North Carolina and e.d.g.e. of Vancouver) return with their second offering, Dreamchasers, over the Meek Mill instrumental of the same name. Dope. Enjoy. Chea!

I always know when I like something I've heard because I catch myself smiling by the time the song is over. I was put on to Rafael Casal by one of my home girls, and suffice it to say, I'm really digging this guy. Coming out of the Bay Area, Casal's flow kicks through the door swinging.
Of course, I'm interested in finding out more about him, but what do you think?
Check out his latest video "I'm Good" and first release "Dreamer" from his most recent project Mean Ones. Enjoy!
A few weeks ago, I had the wonderful opportunity to interview one of my favorite DJ's Mick Boogie after his set at an Above Ground party in SF. We spoke about his days in college radio, DJ-ing for the Cleveland Cavaliers, how he chooses the artists he works with and the process behind his projects. We also spoke about where he found the Pharrell intro on his Pharrell tape, the process behind the Dilla tape, working with Nitty Scott, MC, his favorite project he's done, his favorite artists to work with and his favorite tracks to play when he does live DJ sets. He also spoke about Little Brother, doing an upcoming Beastie Boys tribute project, possibly a Neptunes Side B project and more.
I like Natasha Ramos as a musician and as a person. She's dope. Peep the video for You from her latest solo effort Dream Seller. Enjoy the music. Chea!
With Destroy & Rebuild and a few other projects on the way, the homie e.d.g.e. drops off a 24 bar freeverse over a DJ Premier instrumental in what he calls a Supreme 24. Supreme indeed. Look out for new music soon, in the meantime enjoy this joint. Chea!
I've probably watched this video about 5 or so times and each time I listen to it, I get more and more impressed with the cover. Around the 2:20 mark, the harmonies become emotionally overwhelming in one of the greatest ways possible. There are so many things that were done right with this remake; I probably wouldn't have time to go over them all. Kris did such an impressive job in turning "Climax" into a song that fits his style, and even adding a little bit of the rocker, punk edge. Again, bravo. Take a listen and see for yourself. Enjoy!
If you missed out on the Hometown Heroes show and all the talented artists who performed, check out some of the photos and videos I got here. Night was filled with nonstop dope music.
