this is out…so you should have it. but if you don’t, here’s a few to hold you over. the bobby digi albums have always given rza the chance to step out of new york and indulge his world-traveling, futuristic, pimp daddy side, and this one is no exception. the production is dope and this is his most west coast sound to date…so you know i’m feelin it.

so i’m in new york. most likely…for a minute. that’s my NY wheels right thurr. all original. she goes good, but she ain’t light. in honor of my east coast excursion, i thought i’d offer up an album that you better already have, but maybe not in glorious 320kbps mp3 format.

a lot of people think shadow hasn’t done anything that dope in awhile. the outsider wasn’t for everybody, hence the name. well, for those who only like the early shit, here’s The 4-Track Era, some type of promo only release.
DJ SHADOW – 4-TRACK ERA PART 1
DJ SHADOW – 4-TRACK ERA PART 2
and for those who still believe he can program some sick drums, or those who need convincing, here’s a brand new jam for the homeland.

so…la cita is no longer for Broke Folk. no hard feelings, but tuesday downtown is not the best look for us. we’re gonna take it a few miles down sunset to the bar in hollywood this saturday night and see how that goes. me and danny holloway are going to host a special evening, but if it goes well, it might be a new thing. come down and support. i played there secretly last saturday and it was a pretty good look. tall dips for those of you who are into that kinda thing. 5851 sunset blvd @ bronson.
and eastsiders…no worries…Broke Folk Fridays will continue at the Joy until the roof caves in. which, we are all shocked, it has not yet. 1477 w. sunset blvd.
-JUST ADDED- TOMORROW AFTERNOON BBQ THROWDOWN-
you can spend the whole damn day with us pretty much. me and danny will be joining our friend DJ HOSEH of the mighty dublab for a bbq and jammy jam at footsie’s. 2640 n. figueroa
so my sister turned me on to these guys awhile ago. i’m sure you have already heard them, but here’s some bonus tracks and remixes that weren’t on the album or 12″. along with my favorite, “someway through this,” just in case you don’t have anything of theirs.

Los Angeles’ own FLYING LOTUS today celebrates the release of his second lp (his first on WARP), by launching a six hour online radio attack. it is underway right now, and will be live until 7pm pst, and can be heard streaming here. tons of unreleased shit and remixes and guest sets from DAEDELUS, GLK, RAS G, and others. you must pick this album up, but here are a couple tracks to get you salivating.

once again, you should be able to find the whole thing elsewhere. the two singles “everyone nose” and “spaz” are the standouts, but i think the album will grow on me. here’s the intro track, minus the intro-y part for cueing ease.
N*E*R*D* – TIME FOR SOME ACTION

so me and dick slothchild are gonna provide some smooth tunes for the grand opening of his sister’s eco-friendly store in valley village. it’s on the early tip, from 6-10, and there should be some nice stuff for all those in attendance. my mom is coming. you can meet her.
address is 4838 Laurel Canyon, just north of Riverside Dr.
then, i’m playing at “the bar” at sunset and bronson, from about 10 o’clock on. it’s a cool spot, and there’s a possibility it could turn into a regular thing, so come down and check it out. lemme know what you guys think.

i’m not gonna post the whole thing, cuz you should be able to find it already. it’s worth picking up though. it took me like two days to get past the intro track, produced by a cat named maestro. he also did the ice cube “gangsta rap made me do it” beat and he’s got an intelligent and entertaining blog. plus he knows good shit when he hears it. maybe he can help me get “what a day” on weezy. i’d like to hear that. here’s that joint:
Lil Wayne – 3peat (prod. maestro) – despite what id says!
there’s good production from david banner, one and a half okay ones from kanye (out of 3), and an axelrod flip from swizz beats?! super basic chops but still the best beat i’ve ever him do. if he even did it.
anyway, here’s one more. i don’t know if it’s on the album, maybe a bonus track. same flip that common used not long ago, but they’re from different versions. and hi-tek used it a long time ago.
and for good measure, here’s the original version by miss nina simone.
Nina Simone – Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood

so i finally got a couple tracks on a tv show. it’s a new show on the new channel supported by discovery, called PLANET GREEN. the show is called “alter-eco” and it premieres tonight from 7-8. i’m pretty sure my beats are on this debut episode, but i’m not sure. i’ll be at barragan’s drinking margaritas and playing records (see below) so maybe someone can tell me how it is.
oh yeah…it’s hosted by vincent chase!
