[Music Video + MP3] Jai Nitai Lotus – Honest (Numbers on the Board)

Long time readers know I was a big fan of Jai Nitai Lotus‘ Something You Feel album and went as far as endorsing it on the Polaris Music Prize website. Here’s a new track by him. Peep the official PR blur:

Montreal-based MC/Producer Jai Nitai Lotus (pronounced Jhai like Thai, Nee-tie) is back after releasing his highly acclaimed LP Something You Feel, to bring forth his new mixtape project titled Acknowledgement. The title is inspired by the opening song on the legendary John Coltrane album, A Love Supreme. For Jai Nitai, it’s about acknowledging the original source of creation: the Creator, as well as artists he draws inspiration from. Jai reworks an impressive variety of productions from artists such as Haitus Kaiyote, Kanye West, Thunder Cat, Madlib, as well as includes his own originals.

Jai Nitai will be releasing the Acknowledgement mixtape in collaboration with Dudley Perkins & Georgia Anne Muldrow‘s label, Somothaship Connect.

[MP3] Mike WiLL Made-It – Buy The World Feat. Future, Lil Wayne & Kendrick Lamar

Track is OK though not quite as epic as the featured artist list would lead you to imagine. Should go at radio although who can tell what a radio hit is nowadays and does it even matter either way??
