[MP3] Purple Hearts – You Got It

New music from my dude, 88 Days of Fortune crew member and occasional contributor here at The Kitchen, Brendan Philip. Regular readers know I’m a big booster for the 88 Days collective who I think are doing some very cool stuff.

Purple Hearts is Brendan’s group with Lord Quest. This is the first single from a forthcoming album by the duo. Check the Purple Hearts Bandcamp page for more music they’ve already released if you dig what you hear though.

New Artist: CALiPH – The Resignation [album]

This dropped a few weeks ago, I believe but I only just got put up on this kid, CALiPH last week while at the Rich Kidd-DJ Nana mixtape release event. I thought dude’s style was little too derivative of J. Cole and (less so) Drake like a lot of these new school rappers, but as a body of work The Resignation was really well-written, produced & conceived. Check it out and tell me if y’all agree??

[News] Toronto Young Jeezy Show at Sound Academy Shot Up!

I should have known how this night was gonna end when I went through the far too shoddy and cursory ‘security check.’ That being said, against my better judgement I proceeded to go in anyway and endured an hour of wack opening acts before 5 shots, which I at first thought were firecrackers, went off, scattering the crowd and shutting down the show before Jeezy ever hit the stage.

F-ck you T.dot knuckleheads for ruining everyone’s night and possibly (but I pray not) worse with this idiocy. Lived 17 years in NYC and never (to the best of my recollection) had the misfortune to experience a shooting in a club (although there was one time in Miami at a Luke party during a How Can I Be Down conference in the late 90s…) but come home to this??! Life’s too short as is, I’m not trying to unnecessarily make it any shorter….
