My buddy T.R.U.T.H. opened up for Rhymesayers Artist Grieves last night. Couldn't be more proud of her. She's a super skilled emcee and just wants to work hard. Good things lay ahead for sure. Dig this.

Yesterday, Rhymesayers announced the lineup for their Soundset festival. The big name this year is none other than Nas. Looks like he'll be performing tunes from Illmatic (for it's 20th anniversary). Fine by me. Dig "Halftime" - one of my fav cuts from that album.

Last week, Rhymesayers announced a new addition to their roster - Minnesota native Dem Atlas. To me, this is a move that the label had to make. Dem is a throwback to the days of Digable Planets, Black Sheep and Tribe. His debut EP, Charlie Brwn, is available here for download. Peep the video for the title track below. 

Aesop Rock will drop his first solo record in 5 years on July 10th (Rhymesayers). I'm stoked. He's been busy lately with projects like Hail Mary Mallon (with Rob Sonic and DJ Big Wiz) and The Uncluded (with Kimya Dawson) but I'm excited to see him occupying his own territory again. Listen to the leaked cut, "Zero Dark Thirty" over on Soundcloud and then dig the super creepy teaser for the album. Real talk? It's super creepy.

My buddy Budo has been touring with Rhymesayers artist Grieves for a few years now. They've been all over the country (and Europe) in support of Atmosphere. Now they're holding down headlining tours of their own. Most recently they brought along an upstart by the name of K. Flay. She's worthy of your time and more sincere then others in the nerdy-white-girl-rap-game (I'm looking at you, Kreayshawn). Dig.
