Dope…Blu & Mickey Factz are on the cover of the new XXL…

Fresh off a surprise appearance at the Solution w/DJ Low Key & Sounds Supreme last Friday (audio of his live freestyles over Madlib – Beat Konducta 6 beats coming soon, in the meantime you can stream one of the tracks at myspace.com/djlowkey), Mickey Factz can be found alongside the homey Blu (who’s also performed at the Solution) & Corey Gunz on the cover of the new XXL. It’s the magazine’s yearly freshman ten issue and both Blu & Mickey are featured (B.O.B., who was at our Rock The Bells afterparty, is on there too).  Congrats guys, you deserve it and Denver, just another reason to be checking out the Solution every Friday night on the Funky Buddha’s Rooftop (776 Lincoln).  You gotta love the Solution, we’re the Colbert bump of rap (apparently…ahahahahaha).

So I’ve been listening to parts of U-N-I & Ro Blvd’s upcoming album, A Love Supreme…Here’s a quick rundown…

U-N-I & Ro Blvd’s A Love Supreme has become quite the anticipated album as word continues to spread about Thurzday, Y-O and Ro (especially since the MTV VMA Breakout Artist award). Recently, I was lucky enough to recently hear almost 20 minutes worth of snippets from the album courtesy of my good friend Ro Blvd (B Club, what!!!). Here’s a quick rundown of the work in progress that’s shaping up to be the focused effort yet from everyone involved and a hell of an album.  Disclaimer: These aren’t the real song names and the album is far from being finished.

Nicolay at the Red Bull Music Academy…And speaking of Nic, cop that FE album…

Everyone’s favorite almost 7 foot tall dutchman Nicolay was recently featured as a lecturer at the infamous Red Bull Music Academy in Barcelona.  In the hour plus discussion he talks about dropping out of music school to his work habits for collabs over the internet to his variety of approaches for different albums and more.  And speaking of Nicolay, make sure you cop his new album with Phonte, Foreign Exchange – Leave It All Behind, it’s one of the best albums I’ve heard all year.

Friday 10/24 -> Prodigy – Product of the 80s Listening Party + Beans from Speakeasy’s Birthday at the Solution w/DJ Low Key & Sounds Supreme

FRIDAY, 10/24 -> Don’t miss a listening party for the new Prodigy (of Mobb Deep) album, Product of the 80s, at the Solution w/DJ Low Key & Sounds Supreme on the Funky Buddha’s rooftop with giveaways courtesy of Stones Throw & more.  We’ll be playing cuts from the new album & classic Mobb Deep joints throughtout the night plus we’ll be celebrating Beans from Speakeasy’s (one of Denver premier streetwear boutiques, check it out at 70 Broadway) birthday.  Should be another dope party & packed Friday at Denver’s best hip hop night (c) Westword. 21+ / No Cover / Music at 9 / 776 Lincoln St.

This might be the best surprise of the year…

The homey Blu CRUSHING a freestyle for XXL…

Some Median & Kooley High video iddish…

The homey Halo just sent me some Median, Kooley High & Ill Digitz clips from the recent show they rocked with Little Brother & Inflowential in NC. I figured with our mixtape, Median’s Relief In The Making (hosted by 9th Wonder), still getting a few thousand downloads or so a month (after being out for a year plus & doing RIDICULOUS numbers on here & FWMJ’s infamous rappersiknow.com site) that some of y’all would wanna check out these clips of “Comfortable”, “Doing Dances” (w/a freestyle verse) & more. Enjoy, and of course, if you like what you hear then “put seven on it” (c) Median…
