All My Tri-State Heads..

I just got word of a couple upcoming shows y'all might be interested in.

The homie Phonte of Little Brother tweeted about two events coming up. The first is for all my tri-state jazz and hip-hop heads. February 27th, Le Poisson Rouge on Bleecker St will be transformed into a multi-genre party, featuring an array of artists led by Phonte himself and guest DJ Geology. Check out the flyer above for more info.

The other is a set of concerts featuring Foreign Exchange (Phontigallo & producer Nicolay), Yahzahrah, Darien Brockington, Zo!, and the Els. The crew will be starting in Baltimore on March 5th then making their way up to New York at the Highland Ballroom on March 8th and Philly on March 9th. Peep the Foreign Exchange website for the schedule and ticket details.

..And remember what I said about Phonte - he's the most under-rated of all under-rated MCs. Ever.

Thanks to the man Tigallo himself for the info, Enjoy if you go!!

Started From The Ground Up...

.. A couple years later, I'm a millionaire, now what?

As Q-Tip twittered about the other day, Jadakiss is one of the most underrated and underappreciated lyricists in the game today, so it's nice to hear fresh material from dude.

This new J to the Mwuahhh cut is everything you'd expect from the Yonkers MC - slick-talking lyrics and pinpoint delivery.

I'ma go 'head and presume this is off his upcoming LP The Last Kiss dropping February 10. Thanks to the homie LowKey for liberating this, Enjoy!

[Edit] Whoa, another new Jada popped up at 2dopeboyz. Niceeee!
