Premier: Schoolboy Q – Collard Greens feat. Kendrick Lamar (Slow Graffiti Mega Edit)

BBC Radio 1 and Diplo’s Los Angeles sweetheart Slow Graffiti prepared some Collard Greens using Schoolboy Q’s own recipe that we are proud to share with you today. The occasion is furthered by the news of his first festival date on June 7th at Make Music Pasadena 2014. Within Slow Graffiti’s monthly Legacy podcasts for example, he has showcased a style owned souley by himself. By displaying incredible track selection, catered to his sound, or aesthetic month after month, as well in his various guest mixes. Frankly, the patrons of MMP14 may not be able to hold up under what is sure to be a sure fire set. An individual track won’t paint a Picasso of clear vision, neither will an aged mix, but they will lend a better idea:

Long weekends are a time to party. And the latest venue to enter into the fold of Blueprints.ca know’s this. This May long weekend China Town located Fortune Sound Club welcomes The Gaslamp Killer of Flying Lotus’ Brainfeeder Records.

Once know for un-cconducive sets that would destroy the clubs vibes earning him the name, the Gaslamp Killer (case in point “Killer”), or GLK. Now known further for his endurance in turntableism AND, what audiences would once deem “non flow” Alternative Hip Hop. Featured as one of Fuse’s Crate Diggers with an incredibly eclectic, and at the same time well organized collections, in addition to highlighting some of his better know contributions to the current shape of music both below and above ground. You can expect all things alternative, party, eclectic, just a damn good time.

Trey Songz – Na Na (Stwo Remix)

Stwo resting easy on the top shelf. With big label custom woodwork support from Atlantic Records. It’s funny to see big fish rest their nuts on the “underground” shortly after watching docs talking about such sack placement. Good on Stwo though. #Chedda

Low Pros – EP1

One of the many admirable characteristics of A-Trak is his listing all producers in the immediate credits of any given trak. Case in point, EP1 from his collaborative project with Hip Hop / Rap all star producer Lex Luger. As well as listing a good half of Raps comes ups on the features, what looks to be ALL the producers are there. Looking at you Diplo, are the rumors true? With EP1 out to the world for free download there is now room for Cam’ron & A-Tracks ‘Federal Reserve’ EP to hit. #FoolsGoldOnPoint

Bear Hands – Peacekeeper (Coma Remix)

There has been plenty of bear talk around these part as of late. I’ve also taken my “Bear Awareness” course recently, and something I took away was that bears do certainly have paws. Hands makes them sound much more friendly as a species. The thumb implies so many civilities. Brooklyn’s Bear Hands on the other.. hand (full pun intended), have released their new album ‘Distraction‘ (steady with the bear awareness theme), which is available now in Canada (bear country) and the US of A (not so much bear country). Naturally the remixes followed suit of the album, and Coma’s was the standout.

Michael Red – Harpoon

Low Indigo head and Lighta! member was invited to take part in King Deluxe Records 2999 project. A project in which artists of all walks are invited to portray the year 2999 in their respective forms. Michael Red’s envisionment certainly paints a picture, perhaps a dreary mechanical one.
