From 12 pm to 6pm on Friday, March 19th, DC to BC and The Great Progression, along with several other fine organizations, will be hosting Quality!, a South By Southwest showcase in Austin, TX. How did this all happen? If you’re interested, you better read on.
DC / chicago duo the paxtons come with some heat on this one! their latest mixtape, work, is co-signed by The Smoking Section, UBIQ & atmos. featuring collabos with RA the MC, AP the Prince, Britney Packnett, and TeLuv, and some trill production. i feel like they make their own beats, but i’m not sure! i like the fact that they rep two areas, you can hear the distinct sound of each in their rhymes, whether it be locations they talk about, or that fast midwest flow they occasionally hit you with. anyway, check the awesome samples, and download below.

i can’t say much more than christian rich is on a steady path to a whole lotta success. i know this is a GLC song, but i never got into GLC. i think his verse in “spaceship” was phenomenal, but besides that i haven’t heard too much. so this is the perfect way to get involved. the song is about…well, you know what it’s about. probably one of the best perks if you’re in the entertainment biz. if you ain’t know, all of the guys involved behind this joint are chicagoans. incredible. enjoy, and shout out to heather (can i get a call or something, boo? shucks.) for this nice litle picture she put together. lord knows i didn’t have any pictures for this post until i saw that.

also, after the drop, check out the unreleased footage of GLC’s verse in the “spaceship” video.
the chi-town duo released the decay mixtape last year, and it got a crazy positive response from the masses. they decided to step it up about 304 notches and make some even wilder tracks. they threw me this exclusive a minute ago, but it’s just seeing daylight now. enjoy.

off of When Fish Ride Bicycles, coming soon. i can’t even pinpoint why i really dig these guys. maybe it’s because mikey rocks the illest troop jackets that not even the most thorough vintage store shopping or google search can locate. maybe it’s because their beats are triller than trill. or maybe it’s because they just spit some simple stuff that i can always get down with. either way, i’m a fan. and do you hear those whistles!? insanity.
“AWWWWWWWWWWWW SNAP!”
LOL. watch the whole thing. it’s beyond great, and he deserves a fat ass check from mickey D’s, ASAP. snatched this with reckless abandon from DYLAN! i think alex b. put me on to this mr. chi-city guy a minute ago. check his other youtube videos here. he keeps it SO thorough. cot’ damn.
what up, KB. in the end, there’s a OG preaaaching out there in the chi! oh boy.

my cousin put me on the other day, and i’m happy he did. their music is really out of this world. their sound is unique, and they can flow a little bit too! the versatile chi town-based duo (of twins. nigerian twins. that’s what i’m talking about.) is hitting DC tonight and tomorrow, and i’m definitely making the power move. so fresh had a solid interview with these dudes, so check that out here.
i know you probably don’t know who these guys are, despite their deep resume of tracks for everybody from the clipse to foxy and lil kim, so i’ll toss a few loosies at you.
