the great long time coming

good things take time
and i've run out of impatience

Big Boi's solo effort dropped and in
grand fashion I've found a relic
of prosperity in OutKast
yet again...

Always there with something immeasurable
musical projects often required multiple listens
to fully digest.

So, uncanny being right on time
was the Stray Bullets Mixtape from Dungeon Family
First generator Cee-Lo Green.

With the effervescent Janelle Monae splattering magazines from Vogue to TRACE
and Threestax (aka Sunny Valentine) all over Ciara's "Ride" remix
I've had a good friday.

the Lo, mixtape emerged from the blogosphere a few weeks ago
and the Nike commercial featuring Dre was something I found on youtube
a short wile ago also...he's mashed up with the Beatles doing just what he
fancies to bring us "All Together Now."

the other nature of 'Kast's galactic funky ride thru the A-Town
surprised me first on facebook showing up as a friends profile picture rocking a Woodward Academy hoodie.

For those who don't know its the perfect fit for a member of the group forging southern duality thru the musical cosmos.
Woodward is an ex military non parochial private school in College Park, GA just a few miles from Tri Cities High School where the duo met. My personal alma mater, WA is a world away from Freaknik and yesterday's fried folklore of Atlanta's urban cuisine.



Somehow, the hoodie I now make infamous, surfaced in the video for "Shine Blockas" off the latest full length DF release: Sir Lucius Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty.

the fellas who captivated my attention in 96 with ATLiens, notwithstanding their seminal 1994 introduction, are still relevant and working in the most fickle of industries - my blog and playlist!
