Impulse and E Major

Here are a few photos we got at Artscape over the weekend.  Artscape always seems to be on the hottest day of the year.  We did our best to add to the heat.  Impulse spun some great records and I did what I could to hold him down on the mic.  All around though it was a lot of fun.

This was an amazing event as it is every year.  I’m just very grateful to be a part of keeping Dilla’s legacy alive.  There are many more photos but here are a few I grabbed.

I’m really excited for this release.  You probably know the Heroes 4 Hire from their work on my album Majority Rules.  The produced both “Make It” and “Know That,” both which ended up getting the video treatment.  They’re releasing their own full length LP called Sex, Drugs and Chopped Up Soul, featuring vocals from myself as well as Hezekiah, Illy Emcee, 2 Mex, ET and many more.  The release party is going down at Shorty’s and all the info is on the above flier.  Definitely come through and party with us in celebration of this momentous album.  For those still unfamiliar with the Heroes check the below for a little more and visit their site for even more.

“Heroes 4 Hire’s “Sex, Drugs & Chopped Up Soul” features solid production, countered by a myriad of rapping styles. With tracks from 2Mex, Hezekiah, E Major, Illy Emcee, Nightwalker, and many more, Heroes 4 Hire’s debut album ranges from quirky and fun, to aggressive and ominous, without missing a beat. The album is the second release on fledgling label Micronomics Recordings, and will be available January 2010.”
