The movie is released February 13th – I already know you’ll be going to watch it (forget bootleg, you need to catch this one on the big screen). I’m hella excited about seeing it man. I have refrained from reading/hearing ANY reviews from the U.S. I wonna go in with a clear mind. Ya know?

Peace, Love & NOTORIOUS

P.s Sorry for the lack of activity today. I got a lot to update, so watch in the next few hours.

Last week we dropped a couple tracks featuring both Talib Kweli & Buff1 from the DJ Graffiti Presents: Astronote – “Bigger & Better (the Notorious Remixes)” mixtape and today, we’re offering you the full version featuring cameos from Erykah Badu, Heavy D, Big L and more… It was actually available earlier this week, but Speeakz was sleeping. I was reminded to post up when Graffiti shot it over this morning with a bonus track attached…

Enough chat, download and enjoy. This is B-I-G.

Bonus: Notorious BIG ft. Guilty Simpson & Busta Rhymes – “Dangerous MCs (Astronote Remix)”

Peace, Love & Bigger & Better

Join BigMato.net & 57thave as we go on the set of Capone-N-Noreaga’s video for “Talk To Me (Big Tyme)” directed by Rik Cordero. Check out as Nore shows what he and Soulja Boy have in common and has more words for Busta Rhymes regarding their bet.

Just received the new C-N-N album in the post (respect to Cooks < legend!), haven’t listened to it yet coz boi, I got a stack of CD’s I need to pile through – not to mention I have to empty the “must listen to ASAP” folder sitting on my desktop (that currently stands 23 zip files deep). Oooohweee!

Peace, Love & C-N-N

iCON the Mic King created this tune to chronicle his training sessions for an upcoming half marathon race. Set over Chum’s funky beat, smooth guitar licks and punching horns, this head bopping tune spells out the ingredients for success: perseverance, hard work and stamina. iCON and Chum’s upbeat recipe makes “Run 4 YL” the perfect addition to your work-out playlist.*

iCON the Mic King & Chum – “Run 4 YL”

I’m really feelin’ this!! This is pretty much exactly what I need on my way to work in the freezing cold weather LDN is experiencing right now (aiiight, so it’s not freezing but boi, my blood ain’t made for this type of cold!). And of course, it’s great for running (but f*ck that?)!

Shouts to iCON for all the hard work he’s doing – this track is big.

Peace, Love & Run 4 YL

Shawn Chry

Check a previously unreleased Shawn Chrystopher track “Not Really Here” featuring Sam Sparrow. Produced by Chrystopher it samples one of my favourite tracks of 08 (Sparro’s “Black & Gold”)…

Shawn Chrystopher Feat Sam Sparro “Not Really Here”

I really, really like this version! I think what he’s done to this track is dope. He’s mixed it up and put a whole new, fresh spin on it. It’s ill. Shawn personally let this track out while he works on his debut album A City With No Seasons and plans on leaking a few songs here and there to give people an idea of what type of sound to expect from the album. Make sure you peep his blog too!

Peace, Love & Shawn Chrystopher

Speeakz

P.s I was surprised to see that he hopped on Sparro’s track, wasn’t aware this tune reached the States? It’s a big tune either way.
