Sunday, 9/11 -> Median – The Sender (The Foreign Exchange Music/JAMLA) Release Party at Connected w/performances from Median, J Carey & DJ Low Key

SUNDAY, 9/11 -> Median is one of my favorite MCs to debut in the last decade, a classic combination of a unique style, great content and a dope voice; and he’ll be touching down at Connected, alongside me and J Carey, to celebrate the release of his new album, The Sender.

.:Get familiar with Median’s music on our mixtape, Median’s Relief In The Making (mixed by DJ Low Key & hosted by 9th Wonder):

As part of NC-based collective, the Justus League, Median was introduced to most listeners with show-stealing verses on new school classics like Little Brother’s The Listening (“Shorty On The Lookout”) and The Foreign Exchange’s Connected (“All That You Are” & “Be Alright”) before me and him linked up with 9th Wonder for the Median’s Relief In The Making mixtape and he dropped his long-awaited debut, Relief, in 2007.  He laid low for the last few years, minus impressive guest spots on projects from Little Brother, Kooley High & Jean Grae, before joining forces with The Foreign Exchange Music and 9th Wonder’s JAMLA label to release his new album and one of my favorite projects of the year, The Sender (available on Amazon, iTunes & other outlets now).

And as if a free performance from Median wasn’t enough, we’re also bringing back one of the best vocalists in the city, J Carey, for an opening set.  If you like soul music, you’ll definitely enjoy J Carey’s music, check out a taste of it here.  I’ll be on the turntables and we’ll be featuring happy hour on food and drinks all night.  No cover, facebook.com/ConnectedByMusic for more on the party and last but not least, cop that Median – The Sender album right now!!!

Back in July, we had the pleasure of having beat phenomenon Xperiment rock the first ever live beat showcase at Connected w/DJ Low Key and he tore it down.  X’s sound is a bit more electronic than most of what we rock at Connected, but you’d be hard pressed to hear someone make more soulful electronic music so I had to invite him to rock.  Check out the footage from his guest spot above and make sure you download his project, Precipitation, if you haven’t already.

#COHipHop Classic: Chill “Yenshee” from No Coast Line

The homie DJ Chonz recently posted up this Colorado hip hop classic from way back in 1994.  It appeared on producer/Radio Bums co-founder Hakeem’s No Coast Line album, along with some other #COHipHop gems.  Chonz called Chill the “Hands down #1 emcee out of CO” and after witnessing him freestyle in person and hearing joints like this and “Dying To Live”, I’m inclined to agree.  Anyways, the track aged well; take a listen and check out one of the best MCs to ever come out of CO.
