Connect, Dig It! :: Cory Kendrix And Anna Love ‘Wax On’

The best thing about watching two talented people from slightly different angles in the spectrum connect is the possibility of unexpected results.  Anna Love is coming fresh off of an extensive run with the Red Bull Academy.  Cory Kendrix is still running strong off of the release of his Ignorance LP, as well as a solo tour run and a stint on the road with the LNS Crew.  They are currently collaborating on an EP titled Worth Something,and if this first taste is in any way reflective of the whole project, this will move both parties ahead in a major way.  Check it out, share it, and stay tuned for more…

First and foremost, I apologize for the gap in posting time… thankfully, it was not for negative reasons.  Things have been fruitful both on the creative and performance side.  Merchandise is in print once again, and gear issues are in the process of being resolved.  Things are rolling in the correct direction.

I am also happy to officially release the announce of my latest solo album, Slight Return.  I am very happy with the results of this album… it features appearances from Brother Wolf, Notes Floats, Tee Double, Protextor (P-Tek) and Oldschool Poindexter, and plenty of production/cuts/DoomsdayDevice’ng from yours truly.  Download it, share it, and donate to the cause if you feel so inclined.  Thank you in advance.

FeAl Flows :: Feedback Alliance Makes Beautiful Noise

Are you hip to Feedback Alliance yet?  Here’s the premise… a producer makes a sample pack available.  He sets a BPM, and he assigns a transitional element.  A collective of producers take said sample pack, transitional element and BPM assignment, and they go to town.  The results are mixed into one beautiful trip.

You’re welcome.
