One of our friends from the Hillbilly Souldiers, namely DJ Hooray, just released a free double feature mix, together with german based DJ Bene, called Just Take 45's. As the title already suggests, strictly hip-hop 45's from 2009 are being used, including my own little collab with 215 The Freshest Kidz called Illuminate. Check this one out, it's definitely worth it!

...that's why I don't want to keep this gem from you:
Kid Koala is back with a new project called The Slew, which features 6 turntables, DJ P-Love and Kid Koala himself. There will be a tour in the U.S. and an accompanying album that goes by the name of 100% which is available for free download. It's rockin' from what I've heard up until now! Kid Koala sez: "Music is meant to be heard..." I concur. Nuff said. Get it here and pass it on.
This release will also come out on CD and 2xLP for those who really dig it and there's even a fresh video out called It's all over, check it:

Before we're heading right into the weekend, I want to inform you about a new free mixtape/album download straying around on the holy www. It's kinda hard these days with stuff labeled "for free" because lots of music you can get a hold of like this isn't even worth the disk space - apart from a few gems in between, which can be quite hard to pick out.
This is one of these gems in my opinion, an album preview of Return of the New which is due to be released this Summer, mixed by DJ Itch13 and hosted by Othello. It's the (well kinda) debut release of Chicago based crew 1773 (Seventeen Seventy-Three) which was formed in 2004, consisting of members Wisdm O.N.E., Just J and Moral One featuring great underground trueschool music with production by Ohmega Watts (check out the lead single It's On Again here!), Othello and many more. Nuff said about this one, head over to the 1773 Blog to get it and enjoy your weekend. Peace.

American artist J.R. Baldwin created a board game inspired by the novel “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” by Hunter S. Thompson.
The game suitcase consists all kinds of "ingredients", dosecards, activities & challenges like "program the dvd or vcr player" :D
& of course: it is a edition of 1 but... still available at the moment.
