Whoa, The Attik must be in my stars, cuz all of a sudden, I got the fam sending me tracks left and right!
Again. I must reiterate: I love Weezy, I love Wale, I love Gucci…but, their music ain’t shit compared to this:
DOWNLOAD: Do D.A.T. – “Hot Spitter” (Produced by 6 Fingers)
Do D.A.T. comes again with the face-scrunchin’ vocals over 6 Fingers’ neck-snappin’ production. Remember the last time the two got together?
BONUS: Do D.A.T. – “The Skinny” (Produced by 6 Fingers)
From The Skinny EP (Do D.A.T., 2008)
Keep an eye and ear out for Do D.A.T.’s upcoming concept album, Oakland In Blue, which is based entirely on Duke Ellington samples. You can hear some preview tracks HERE.

Ok. Why are we all geeked up over the new Weezy, when this blows everything floating in the blogs out the water?? This is what hip hop should sound like these days.
SANDMAN aka ELEFANT from THE ATTIK aka The-Greatest-Hip-Hop-Group-That-You’ve-Probably-Never-Heard-Of aka The-Same-Crew-That-Included-ThisGuy dropped off some songs from his upcoming album, The Art Of Dreaming, in my inbox the other day and I’ve had them on repeat since then.

Oh, I needed this song so bad this past weekend. More on that in a bit…
The music of LES NUBIANS has a special significance in my life. Their concert at Bimbo’s in SF back in 2002 helped cement a relationship that has lasted seven years through time, distance, and growth. Their first album was the soundtrack to a period in my life where I was finding love in the aftermath of a traumatic separation.
This past weekend contained probably the WORST promoted gig I’ve ever bear witness to. I can’t remember the last time I was THAT angry at an organizer/venue. In fantasy, I wanted to be Tim Heezy (if you know, then you know) and start choking muhfucckas out, but in reality, I just needed that day to end. “Demain” means tomorrow in French.
DOWNLOAD: Les Nubians – “Demain”
From the album Princess Nubiennes (Higher Octave, 1998)
On a funnier note, the hook sounds like the sisters are singing “Du Ma” over and over again, which is an abbreviated way of saying “Fuck your mom” in Vietnamese.
Don’t forget to come out this Wednesday for the DEVIL’S PIE ARETHA TRIBUTE!
Request the “Fuck Your Mom” song…
