Sorry for the hiatus folks. Due to some hard work and studying (I am a college kid), I need needed to take some time off. While I’ve missed a ton of new music and news, I’m positive I’ll be back on my grizzy.

To get back in the swing of things, here’s some new music from Rhymefest, who will be releasing his last Pre-LP mixtape, “Dangerous: 5-18,” on Monday, April 5 2010. He’ll be shooting a video for “Letter” which leaked last week via Court Dunn’s “One Shot” video series. Talk is, the final leak leading up to Dangerous 5:18 will be this track labeled “Familiar Faces” a track sampled from Gary Jules “Mad World,” a track featured in that Donnie Darko movie.

I’m not sure what it is I like about these kicks. Maybe it’s the fact that I’m in to mids and highs with tongues I can tuck my jeans behind.

I picture these without the super high laces some dope Express Jeans and a vintage tee.

But that’s just me.

A few slow jams feel in my lap today so I’ve decided to share them with you. Seems as if these four singers have been extremely busy lately; I can dig it. Brandy’s been on point. Bobby V. and Ryan Leslie have been hit or miss and J.Holiday, is still making that “Put You to Bed” music.
