As noted in my IG video above, Black Milk absolutely MURDERED it last night at Tattoo. This was unquestionably one of the best shows that I have seen this year and, believe me, I’ve seen a lot of shows this year and I also say that as very much a casual Black Milk fan, at best.

He’s a dynamic, amazing performer on stage and his Nat Turner band is incredible. Milk is currently on tour. If he hasn’t already been to your market, I urge you to go see him regardless of what music genres you claim to love. Yes, he’s a rapper but this is a flat-out amazing live music experience, period. Faith in music restored….

Track featuring Bun B of UGK from Black Milk‘s forthcoming album, If There’s A Hell Below album, out October 28 but which you can hear now via: New York Times PRESS PLAY | Bandcamp | Pre-order iTunes

[MP3 + Event] Sean Leon Opening for Kaytranada at The Hoxton in Toronto TONIGHT

Cats know I’ve been talking this kid up since I discovered him a few months back. He’s part of a new wave of MC from #the6ix (as the kids call the T.dot nowadays) making some real noise in the city and far beyond. This should be a really good show tonight. CLICK HERE for more details on the show.

Sean Leon – Hot N*gga Part 2 (Hol’ Up It’s Coming)

Sean Leon – Mauivelli

[News] Twenty Years Ago Today Notorious B.I.G.’s ‘Ready To Die’ Was Released…

And inspired this flyer for a Different Kitchen party I was throwing in DUMBO, Brooklyn 10 years ago back when I lived in NYC. Still miss Brooklyn….

Haven’t listened to Ready To Die in a while? Listen to what the album could have sounded like if Sean “Puff Daddy” Combs hadn’t put his golden touch on it first: Notorious B.I.G. – Ready To Die (The O.G. Edition)
