Fly The Friendly Skies (True 4/20 Pack)

April 29, 2010

We're a week late on posting this (a week is like a year in terms of internet time), but SF's True Clothing dropped a new 4/20 pack that includes a dope mixtape featuring DaVinci.

The mixtape, Fly The Friendly Skies, was put together by our good friends Get.Live.Ro and DJ Boogie Brown from Get.Live.SF.  You can download the mix at Mixcrate, or yodel at one of them on Twitter for a hard copy.  (I'm pretty sure the True packs are sold out at this point.)

Mistah FAB - Change A Lil' (Prod. by Al Jieh!)

August 19, 2009

Mistah Fab - Change A Lil' (Prod. by Al Jieh!)

Mistah FAB - Change A Lil' (Prod. by Al Jieh!) // [UNRELEASED circa 03/04]

Here's an unreleased track by Mistah FAB produced by Drums & Ammo's Al Jieh! It's an old cut recorded in 2003/2004 that was originally supposed to be released on Chinese Mike's Bay Area Blockstars 2 compilation album. However, Chinese Mike ended up signing a deal with Universal to release a series of hip-hop DVD's (this was during the short-lived DVD magazine era), and the album was shelved.

For the first time, we're leaking the mastered songs that Al Jieh! produced for the project in high-quality mp3 (320 kbps) for the fans. In the coming weeks, we'll be dropping other songs featuring some of the Bay's best.
