BLIND I EXCLUSIVE | TEEKO | DWIGHT TRIBLE

Since We first posted Our boy Teeko for Y’all to get acquainted with We have received countless requests for more. Well have no fear, a NEW track is here! Teeko’s album is nearing completion & the anticipation for it, can be cut with a knife it’s thick, but until, Teeko was kind enough to bless us with his latest track entitled Easy Going Feat. the great Dwight Trible, take a listening!

This track is intended to capture the essence of the Yin and Yang .. the darkness in the light and the light in the darkness. The sample in the beginning is in a major key (the lighter side). In music, every major key has a relative minor key that shares the same notes. In this song the vocal sample “It all seems so easy going” carries over from the light (major) part and finds its way in the dark (minor) section, to show us how we can see the light in the dark.  Sometimes it all seams so easy and shit changes, we need to remember to feel the plus side. Feel the positive in the negative.

Yeah, it’s that serious. A few days ago, I took my quest to find the elusive All About The Bad Boys track to Twitter in efforts to try and find it for my catalogue and the world’s pleasure. I was directed to Mr. Mike Love, who was one-half of the Bad Boys on WGCI during their heyday,and he threw me the oop of all oops with the record. I, being the gentleman that I am, threw it to my homie Andrew over at FSD and let him run wild with it. A few days later, Mike hits me with THIS gem. Ridiculous collection of freestyles recorded on the radio show from artists like Common, Crucial Conflict, Lord Tariq & Peter Gunz, Fat Joe & Big Pun, Flipmode Squad, Twista, Juvenile, Brand Nubian, Outkast, Juice, Profound, Q-Tip, Da Brat, Shyne, 50 Cent, Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, and the list goes on. Basically it’s classic material and a must to have on your computer if you love hip-hop music in any sense. I should really start charging for connectin the dots like this, I’m a motherfuckin music blog wordsmith motherfucking lyrical genius! Mr Mike Love has some more to say on the topic after the jump, along with a link to download The Best Of Bad Boy Radio Freestyles. Don’t act like I never gave you nothing, internet!

CONSTROBUZ BEATS VOL. 1 & 2

You know when you see the freaky picture and it’s involving beats, it’s bound to be something to check out. Constrobuz is an ill producer from Raleigh, NC, who’s got an superb production style. He shot me his shit a few months ago and I’ve featured some of his remixes on past BISG’s, but he’s recently released a new beat CD and I, in my major slippage, was reminded I never put up Volume 1! I’ma leave ya’ll with a stream of one of my favs from each volume and see if it compels you further to download! Partake!
