well.
i looked at my watch.
and apparently i still have some cred round these parts.
whenever the opportunity arises i am more than happy to
do my part when it comes to putting people on to a certain act
that they otherwise might not be too privy of.
unlike my pre internet ravings in the press about d’angelo, erykah, and jill.
and my religion created especially for slum village.
and the list goes on and on and on for the likes of little brother, sa-ra, j’davey, tonya morgan, esperanza, and the gaspers of all gaspers solange.

well. time to roll out the barrel yet again (i’m slightly late because frank featured them in “rappers i know ahmir won’t bandwagon until it’s too late” section)
i dont wanna make all that a big deal about them. i simply wanna give you a chance to “in” yourself on the bottom flo.
ladies and gentleman: *drumroll*
H.I.S.D. (Hueston Independent Spit District)
again. despite the path that my career took my personal taste still gravitates to the basic meat and potatoes in hip hop.
chop a lil somethin
spit something ill.
rinse.
repeat.
enjoy.

Hue-ston we have a problem; Hip Hop has been interrupted. There’s a renaissance occuring before your eyes and this crew is right in the middle of it. This group of forward thinking music junkies have come together and formed H.I.S.D. (Hueston Independent Spit District)Summer SessionsFresh off the heels of their stellar debut The District, H.I.S.D. (Hueston Independent Spit District) returns with their latest offering, the ‘Summer Sessions’ Digi-tape. Building off of the momentum of The District, this concoction of all new original joints picks up right where ‘The District’ left off without missing a beat. S.A.V.V.I., Equality, Scottie Spitten, Ldavoice, King Midas, Soul One, E. Classic, and Flash have also invited a host of their superfriends to the summer program including: The Legendary K-O, Kay of the Foundation, DJ Cozmos, J. ‘8 Months’ Lewis, and Sunny Bonoho. Sounds too good to be true, I know, but it gets better.
