Mos Def’s new album will be sold as a t-shirt
Posted by DJ Balance | Filed under Uncategorized
This is a new concept. Mos Def’s new album will be sold as a t-shirt. The front of the shirt will have the cover art and the back of the shirt will have the tracklisting. Each shirt will come with a tag that contains a unique code that will be used to download the new album online. I think it’s a sick idea. Plus you get a free t-shirt in the process.

Alchemist “Chemical Warfare” dropping July 7
Posted by DJ Balance | Filed under Uncategorized
I bumped the “1st Infantry” album for a solid two years after it released and I can’t wait for “Chemical Warfare”. I’m a little suprised that Juvenile will be a featured guest on here though. But I trust ALC’s vision.

Wale “Back to the feature” mixtape finally released
Posted by DJ Balance | Filed under Uncategorized
Wale released “Back to the feature” on Friday, and while I haven’t heard the whole thing yet, I’m sure it’s dope. I can only see him getting better especially after last year’s “Mixtape about nothing”.

Best Buy x Vinyl
Posted by DJ Balance | Filed under Uncategorized
Here’s an interesting statistic. CD sales have plummeted about 20% within the last couple years while vinyl sales have increased from 15% in 2007, to an 89% increase in 2008! With that statistic, Best Buy has decided to dedicate floor space next to the CDs just for vinyl records. I guess I’ll be running into some other vinyl heads next time I’m shopping for a PS3 game. Imagine if they sold 12″ singles there…….you’d see like three or four DJs raiding the crates at Best Buy!
New Clipse single “Kinda like a big deal”
Posted by DJ Balance | Filed under Uncategorized
I’ve been a fan of the Clipse since day one. Lord Willin’ was a damn good album, but Hell Hath No Fury was a classic 2006 hip-hop album that a lot of heads slept on. The production and lyrics on the whole CD were fire. So I was really hyped to hear that they got a new single coming out called “Kinda like a big deal” featuring Yeezy and production by DJ Khalil. Can’t wait for the album to drop. Gotta support good music since it’s so rare nowadays.

2- kaaaaayyyyyyyy.
Posted by DJ Balance | Filed under Uncategorized
So Sana got me NBA 2K9 for Valentine’s Day and I’ve been playing it pretty steady ever since. When you first start up the game, The Cool Kids “2K Pennies” comes on and it’s pretty much the theme song throughout the game. After listening to it for so long, it’s grown on me. Back when The Cool Kids first came out with “Black Mags”, I pretty much hated on them and never gave them a good listen. I just assumed they were a couple of Hypebeasts who happened to play with Reason and got famous overnight through MySpace. But after checking out The Bake Sale EP for a couple of weeks now, I’ve got to admit I was wrong. Their music is good. Listening the them is like a throwback to the late 80’s and early 90’s when Hip-Hop was all about having fun. In this day and age, it’s like a breath of fresh air to hear something different. I hope these guys stick around for awhile.
