“My ode to Low Key…in a blog” (c) Donwill of Tanya Morgan

Donwill from TM: im writing my ode to low key
Donwill from TM: in a blog
Donwill from TM: gimme 3 min
Ahahahahaha…It’s not really an ode on his blog, but check out the song (the first song on DJ Low Key – Mixing In Action #1, which you can download for free in the mixtapes section) he mentions, it kinda is…
Anyways, you should have already been checkin Donwill’s (from Tanya Morgan/Ilwil) interesting/random/behind the scenes/goofy/informative blog regularly (he can show you where to cop the best jeans for women to dance in, get you updates on working with Kanye’s homey/super-producer 88 Keys and put you up on the best in 80s R&B videos), but if not, head over there and bookmark that iddish now…

Anyways, the release party at Vinyl was dope, even a crazy snow storm (check out Donwill’s take on it at his blog) couldn’t stop the real heads from coming out. Big ups Janet Kawamura & Sarah Covell on the pics and props to all the cats who came out despite the snow storm. Hopefully everyone’s been enjoying the super limited release party versions of the tape we gave out (now collector’s items…I saw one yesterday on ebay for $58.50 with 9 hours left, not too bad), it’ll be up here and at rappersiknow.com any day now for everyone else to download.

Blu Collar Worker: The Video Part 3

Before we get into day three of the Blu & Exile “Blu Coller Worker” video shoot, let me post up a couple of late additions from day two. The pic above is Blu waking up at his house and I’m guessing it’ll be the opening shot of the video. Below is another pic from Chikara’s studio, this time of Blu at the mic stand.
So anyways, day three started off at a cool ass record store called Record Surplus (how great is their vintage art on the wall in the pic below), where Blu digs for breaks (dude is on his production grind, I’m telling you).
Next we headed over to the Santa Monica Promenade to meet up with our first female lead (big up J.C.) for a shot of Blu in date mode.
