Summertime


May 26, 2008 | Tags: wale, judah, Marky, X.O.

I can’t speak for where any of you reading this may be located, but where I am it’s finally warm and sunny and feeling like summertime. Some people get lazy during this time and sleep all day or kick it at the pool, but apparently the rappers of the DC area have remained on their grind.

My man Judah hit me up the other day and graced my inbox with the latest project that he’s produced on, and it’s none other than Marky’s mixtape, “Homework 4.3”. Man, it feels like just yesterday that the kid Marky got signed. Anyway, since I’m lazy these days and 2dopeboyz beat me to posting this, I’ll just hit you with the track list, cover art, and download link via them.

The district’s other freshly signed emcee is still working hard as well. On top of scoring that coveted spot on this year’s Rock the Bells lineup, Wale has finally released the tracklisting for his “Mixtape About Nothing”, which makes me think it may actually drop when he says it will this time around. And if you thought that was all that was going on, you’d be mistaken. The video for “W.A.L.E.D.A.N.C.E.” finally dropped…

And as a nice finishing touch to it all, the homie Modi hit me with the latest from X.O. and Wale: the remix to “Rid’n”.

Also just heard about a good event for anyone in the DMV...This Thursday, May 29th, at 9pm at the Rock and Roll Hotel, Kev Brown and Oddissee are involved in a very interesting show as part of an Illmatic Remix Party. Yep, the Nas album. They'll be remixing the album and then performing the remixes. It'll cost you $20 to get in.

So anyway, enjoy some new music to bump in your ride with your windows down and the breeze blowing on your face. Does anybody else love that part of summertime as much as I do? If so, you should have no problems finding new, fresh music worthy of being blasted at full volume. There are some damn good releases coming up. I guarantee it.
