...So I'm on my New York shit.

I'll leave a post on Peter Hadar off until next time. We got weeks to chat about shit. I want ask right quick about Kudu, tho.

Appearantly folk in Atlanta are up on them. Skape, a producer from the Battery Five crew was telling me on a local messageboard that he loves them. I'm glad to see that they are getting love in the A. It always perplexes me, however how J*Davey, Sa-Ra, and Heavy got alot of this new fangled electro/soul/rock love, but Kudu is left out hanging on the back porch. What kinda sense does that make?



I been trying to figure that shit out for the better part of a year. I love some Kudu. I love them so much that I aint even going to post a link. Not this week, anyway. Also, aren't they nublu label mates with Wax Poetic (not the magazine)? What the hell happened to Wax poetic? It's like they just disappeared!



Any way, back to J records recording artist Emily King.



I like her. I like her alot, actually. I know her story is prolly constructed 'n shit, but I don't care. I buy the story of her life, I buy the package. And when the album drops I'ma buy that too. She has some dope, dope music. I've put her on my Grits n Gravy 'Mixes' (Don't hate on me, I aint no Dj) of the past...But check her our for yourself:




I see people out there hating ALREADY, but fuck 'em. Take a "walk in her shoes" before you can even think of judging her.



I was fittna get me a jawn from the good folks over @ epidemikcoalition.com today. Just for sumin new, fresh. Then I realized they aint got shit that fit a nigga. DAMN I gotta lose weight. Then I also noticed I didn't do laundry. I don't have shit to wear. How sad.


So instead of going out, I'm on this blog talking about an NYC artist when I could be out in MY city at the park. Damn that's pathetisad. I wanted to go see Herbie Hancock today at the Atlanta Jazz fest. I mentioned the jazz fest a few weeks ago on this blog. I gotta be in at work at fucking midnight anyway. So I'm about to hit the bed and take a nap.


before I do, tho...



Peep this electronica band called One hand loves the other from right here in the A.


"Rubbernecker nightingale"

Also, I prolly shouldn't mention Skape without mentioning his boy- recently signed recording Artist, skater, Dixie Mafia member (you know, Poncho Grady and 'em) and partime Atlantan repping Gadsen, Alabama...Yelawolf.




Btw, that tall brother u see in the video that was in that proton backstage video from a few weeks back on this blog? That's Gripplayz. I'm sure you've heard of his project with Tripp from the Rising Sons, or have heard him perform with Collective Efforts.

Later we'll talk about him and other ATL artist next week.
