R.I.P. Bob Marley

Coming Soon

While Twitterville is filled with chatter about who the King (or Queen) of hip-hop internet blogging is, I'ma chill back and enjoy my small corner of the blogosphere and those that show love. I thought y'all might be interested in these two events here, especially my producer heads.

I found out about this first one from the hilarious internet personality Dallas Penn. KeiStar Productions is presenting a musical tribute to the late great J Dilla next Friday in Brooklyn, featuring guess appearances from Jean Grae and an assortment of musicians and DJs to celebrate the late producer's collection of work. It's recession-friendly too, at $10 with an RSVP to rsvp@ladieslovenyc.com or $15 at the door, with part of the proceeds going to Lupus Awareness because Dilla died of the disease. Peep the flyer above.

The homie 6th Sense also dropped the line that he'll be releasing his all-instrumental LP It's A 6th Sense Beat Yo!! on February 3rd on Notherground Music. If you've heard his production before, you'd be excited for this disc. And if you haven't, I suggest you check check check it to get accustomed to his sound.
