One of the artist i want to see live the most ,on the same calibur in my heart as sade, bjork, madonna, joan baez and prince is Gil Scott Heron. Its amazing in my eyes to see the growth process of this enigma. despite all of the problems of the past with addictions and everything else, the music has always been next level, no matter what cross road this man has faced in his life. Its been like 16 years or so since his last studio recording and i guess around 2006 the label owner of XL records payed him a visit while encarcerated at rikers island and pitched the idea of producing his next album and releasing it on XL. Here as we know, 4 years later the album is complete and available everywhere. “IM NEW HERE” by Gil Scott Heron. All the old heads im sure know about this man from the whole “the revolution will not be telivised ” days but daaaaamb , he has withstood a multitude of decades in music similar to doom coming from the KMD era and maintaining relevency to whats going on in the present. Heres the video for the first single from “im new here” called ”me and the devil” and this is one of the reasons why i never had a doubt that this is my calling;)
BLAKAH!!!!!!
STTTTTTRRRRRRRAAAAAIIIIIIIGHT CRACK!!!!!
nothing else to say……..
“GET ON UP”—- STRAY.
If i could describe this new LP from our Swedish homie Stray in one word, it would be HEAT! Banger after banger stray’s new way of sounding old is soooo refreshing in todays popped out soul selections…… Dude kills shit……to make matters fresher, Stray produced the LP on his own and made all the beats himself…..!
We had the pleasure of being invited to take part in Strays classic and contributed to the LP by getting down on the single “Later” which is on “GET ON UP” as well as a really soulful/spaced out RMX from our friend Erik L. (another nasssssty swedish beat maker). If you aint up on Stray, you falling short. Also check for releases from the two (erik L and Stray) as Favorite Flava..
I will be posting our joint (LATER) later….. stay tuned..

WOWZERZ…..
the newest video from the camp……. Shot in Austria at an old set of castle ruins called “Rattensberg” which translates into RATS Mountain….. possibly being a place for outcasts and heethens in the 16th or 17th century! How appropriate……?
