ALso, heres the flyer for SXSW. The line-up includes: Bun B, Reflection Eternal, Jean Grae, Strong Arm Steady, 88-Keys, Gangrene (The Alchemist & Oh No), Rakaa, Kev Brown, Oddisee, Diamond District, and Homeboy Sandman.
Stat, Term and Bun talk to Karmaloops’ Frank The Butcher about how they all linked up, their music making formula, their relationship to Dj Premier, and what to expect from all of them in 2010.
So if you’ve seen how busy Bun B has been since the later part of 2009 and this early part of 2010, you know a lot of these songs, but now you can get them all on one mixtape, No Mixtape.
Tracklist + Download link after the jump… Read more…
I’m always excited about anything from Bun B… Bun and GLC are putting together a lil project and we have a track for you as well as the tracklist after tha jump.
“I remember getting an e-mail about a Cool Kids and Bun B show happening on 12/15/09. I immediately thought of trying to get Bun in the studio for a Closed Session, and knew that GLC would be the perfect Chicago artist for Bun to work with. GL reached out to Bun and a mere few hours before the show I got a call that Bun was down and would be at the studio at 7. Their show (which also featured GLC) started at 9, so we had an incredibly short amount of time to make this work, and that’s if everything started promptly. Now, we’re dealing with musicians and nothing ever starts on time for musicians–this session was no exception…. You’ll get the full story of how this track went down with the full Closed Session video coming soon… For now just know that with a few strings pulled, a clutch beat from The Weathermen, and a little bit of luck, everything came together and we’re able to present “Happiness Over Riches” featuring Bun B and GLC (prod by The Weathermen).”
This is a dope little video here, the intro is kinda the same choppy style as Dj Babu has been putting us onto. In this episode follow Maestro & his friend Bun B through Houston, TX as they check out Goode Company BBQ, the H-Town Sneaker Summit, Chris Paul & others, while Bun speaks on the diverse culture of Houston & his upcoming album Trill O.G. Special appearances by DJ Greg Street & Bobitto Garcia. Maestro explains how he can learn from Bun B, man the jalapeno beans with bacon sound so damn bomb… *LOVE JALAPENOS*. The two visit foot locker, and they come in to cop, not shop… I Like that. One thing they dont mentiona bout Houston is how god damn humid it is there… I once stepped outside of the airport for a few minutes and was immediately covered in sweat… The culture sounds great, but I am not acclimated to living there…
