Remember when Jay-Z retired and an underground Hip Hop producer named Danger Mouse perfectly created immeadiate nostalgia for Hov’s legacy by remixing what was said to be Jigga’s final album the Black Album with the Beatles?
Well a man named the John Stewart decided to remaster the Grey Album and it is above.
It’s Sunday. I will just let Pedro tell it:
For those that aren’t familiar with who I am my name is P. Blackk. I’m 21 years old & from Columbus, Ohio. I’ve been working on this project called “Contemporary Nostalgia” for quite some time now with my big homie J. Rawls. You might’ve heard me on the J. Rawls “Ohio Takeover Mixtape”, on L.e For The Uncool’s “The Measure” (George Washington) on Fly.Union’s “Look Up To The Sky”,on their TGTC album. I can now also add to that list my feature on BJ The Chicago Kid’s single “Heartless” which was his cover to “Long Run” by Fly.Union. But in this email I’ve linked my 1st visual as promotion for my collaborative project with J. Rawls, “Nahmean?” I’m trying to get the word out there, so of course I’m emaling you in hopes of getting that support to get the word out there. Once again, thank you for your time & get back to me as soon as possible
There is so much going this weekend.

Killer Mike is playing Ace of Cups in Columbus, Ohio November 9th.
Killer Mike’s El-P produced album “R.A.P Music” is easily one of the best albums of the year as it captures a down south everyman spirit with the bombastic conviction of early 90’s Public Enemy. So this was already a good show.
And it just got better as Envelope and Path have been added as the local support.
$13 in advance/$15 day of show. For more info visit Benco Presents.
After the jump revisit Envelope’s video for “You Want Me To Go” ft. Nikki Portman.

(the Walkmen “Heartbreaker” live @ the Bowery Ballroom 6/7/12)
Fat Possum Recording artists the Walkmen announced a tour with Father John Misty. The Walkmen will be coming to Columbus on 1/17 as they play the Newport Music Hall on January 17th. I believe this will give me over two months to elicit some sort of twitter response from Father John Misty.
The Walkmen are releasing a Dance With Your Partner/Vermeer 65′ limited edition 7″. The release is limited to 1000 copies and will be available on Tuesday, November 6th.
