Native Guns - Handcuffs (Prod. 6 Fingers)

Bambu & Kiwi, collectively known as Native Guns (along w/DJ Phatrick), dropped a new song inspired by the Oscar Grant trial.

“The message is threefold: to validate the community’s anger around the blatant murder of this young man, to spark a discussion and deeper analysis of what police are there to do beyond just enforcing the law, and to get folks to think strategically about how they want to react to this verdict, whatever it ends up being.”

Big up to 24kmilkcrate.com for the premier.

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.

Download at the link above and share!
