Video: Fly Union- “The Hard Way”
Fly Union shot this video while visiting Los Angeles. The Columbus trio is somewhat mum about where their hardwork is leading but I have trouble believing that linking with Casey Veggies , TDE and Dom Kennedy while in Los Angeles is counterproductive. Buy “the Hard Way” on I-Tunes here.

MP3: Lolah Brown- “Here I Am” (Produced by Fly Union)
Cleveland R+B singer Lolah Brown becomes one of the rare human beings to get an original Fly Union produced beat without FlydotU flowing on it.
Beautiful song.

Favorite Albums of 2011: Wes Flexner
I like Houston rap as much as the next guy. But sometimes a man enjoys Henroc out of a stryofoam cup instead of lean and sprite. Prodigy is home, and he is voting for Ron Paul like some sort of Q-Boro Vince Gallo. While I am not voting for Ron Paul this EP knocks.
