Big Fun (Caddywhompus)

Back in the city. Feels good. Been chillin rather hard lately, soaking up the last few weeks of summer. And with such hard chillin, comes some hard chill tunes. So many new releases/local music for my listening pleasure...here are a few that have tickled my fancy.

Great friends of mine who make music that is just too good for me to fully comprehend. Devin gave me a copy of it and this album is nothing short of delicious. However the official CD release of this album isn't until September. But if you don't live in Louisiana, I'll make sure it gets in your hands. Come out to one of their shows!

Summertime: The Mixtape
DJ Jazzy Jeff + Mick Boogie

Last week, DJ JoJo Rose (my former jazz co-dj) told me bout this ridiculously bodacious mixtape. The mixtape covers all songs relating to summer. Everyone is on here from A Tribe Called Quest, The Roots, Mos Def, Kool & The Gang to De La Soul, James Brown, 2pac and more. After a few listens I have concluded that it is awesome. It's glorious. It's delectable. It's all the tasty goodness you could possibly need in a mixtape.
