I am assuming you have “Tronic” and if you don’t, that’s your business. For those who understand how serious this album is – this is for you.

OH. Tell me PinBoard is not THE place to be at! Do we not keep you entertained? Do we not continue to provide you with all that is dope in this world? It’s cool, we feel the love back! This is what we doooo!

…But for real though, London has been poppin’ this past few weeks. Rock the Bells, Raphael Saadiq, KanYe West, NERD not to mention all the other dope things going down! Love this town.

Update #2: KanYe got arrested today in the UK for beating someone down and is on the front cover of the FADER this month, I haven’t posted it because to be honest, I’m all Ye’d out! The album listening party (Fantasticunt is yet to deliver you (yup, just called you out cuz)), the Glow in the Dark gig, this after party – yea, that’s enough. If you want information of this, not covered on PinBoard, hit the blogroll – someone there will be able to help you!

Zion I are readying their new album - The Takeover, but before that’s released on Jan 27th, they decided to release this brand new mixtape. Like a cassette, it features two sides. A-Side sees Zion I taking on hip hop classics in their own way, while the B-Side goes in a different direction all together taking on the likes of Santogold and MGMT etc…

Zion I – “The Search & Seizure” Mixtape

This is pretty fresh. Download it and enjoy it.

Peace, Love & Zion I

Aight, so here’s the story behind this one…I got a homie of mine that wants to get into production, and he’s sent me a bunch of shit, but he never really sent me a joint that flat out grabbed me and made me write to it. And I’m honest enough with him to let him know that. So he hits me up on AIM the other day after I told him about this project that I’m working on for the top of the year (I’m always working on something), and he sent me over a couple tracks. The joint I ended up recording to sounded like it should have been on the score to Shaft or The Mack or some shit, some real slick talking theme music…So I did what I do to it bein the slick talkin individual that I am…hahahaha

 

So with no further ado or explanation, I present…
