What’s up folks? GVB reported a few days ago that one of the singles off of Jay Yancey’s shelved album Pay Jay had leaked, and that Yeezy had posted the intro track that he had produced for the late great. Rumor has it Stone’s Throw plans to release it in the Fourth Quarter, we can only hope we get it that soon. HERE’s the link to Pay Jay, and HERE for the other track. I’m sure you could find the album out there if you wanted to, but I’ll support the dude. Buuuut, if that’s your thing, I’m sure some sites could tickle your fancy…
MANCHESTER UNITED YOU SLAGS!
We did it y’all. we the best mayne, we deed it (Copyright Eli Porter) Ronaldo’s goal in the first was great, which I think made up for his blown PK. All he needs to do now is stay his arse in Man U and not go to Real.
Interesting drop coming tomorrow, you don’t wanna miss this!
Whohan? Soohan!
I was browsing Facebook, as I often do before work with nothing to do, when I stumbled upon a group dedicated to some chap named “Soohan.” The name was interesting, so I clicked and followed the link to his purevolume page. AMAZAZING. The Money Ain’t a Thang remix, the Free Willy mash, all quality stuff. I encourage you to head over THERE as well, and give him a listen.

Fred Cannon Updates
Hello lovers and fighters. Just some rundown on Kind of a Purple Mood, the mixtape by yours truly. First and foremost here’s what’s for certain. It will be 8 tracks long. Not 9, not 7, 10 and 6 are right out of the question. 6 original beats and 2 tracks over some oldies but goodies by my faves. The cover will be up ASAP, we’re just deciding between three. It will be free for download here and on the myspace page, which, though dormant, is about to get a major facelift and some much needed attention. Also, a month after the fact, me and a DJ friend of mine who shall remain nameless until I feel like telling you (sinister laugh) will be releasing Kind of a Jazzy Mood, which will be the vocals from the previous tape over some Jazz numbers. I’m also looking into throwing a release party of some sort, since, who doesn’t like parties? Until then, Stay classy, interwebs.
