X-Ecutioners “Live from the PJs”

June 12th, 2009

Any friend of mine knows I’m a big Wu-Tang fan. As well as a Roots fan. As well as a rap fan. What do you get when you combine some elements? THIS SONG!

“Live From The PJs” focuses on the birth of hip-hop in 1974. Huge fan of the beat - as well as Ghostface, Trife Dieseeeeel, and Black Thought. Enjoy my people. Not too high quality, just turn the bass up, right?

Toki Wright’s new album “A Different Mirror” is out TODAY!

June 9th, 2009

adm

In addition to being one of the nicest dudes I’ve ever met - Toki Wright is one hell of a rapper, and he runs them internets. Yet another incredible talent spawned from the lakes of Minnesota. I Self Devine and Brother Ali and Scarub (Living Legends) are all on this album, with even more heads on the hidden track at the end.

Here’s my favorite song off the album and a low budget internet video!

Buy the album at Amazon, Fifth Element, and iTunes.

Here’s a few shout-outs from some rappers at Soundset a few weeks ago:

Go buy it. Now. $8.99 at Fifth Element. That’s a DEAL, my people. Don’t make me sick my dogs on you. Rap!
