#musicToDrawTo "ALL DAT GLITTERS AIN'T GOALS" instrumentals produced by @Illastrate inspired by the works of Fahamu Pecou.

I'm streaming these instrumentals to All Dat Glitters Ain't Goals, by Fahamu Pecou and Illustrate. I also embedded the original EP, which features Atlanta-based hip hop from emcees like Ekunday (Liuns Den) Clan Destined, Boog Brown, Methuzulah, Stic man, Starchile, etc. You're welcome.

I'm LOVING this new BOOG BROWN video "Polaroids"

If I was anywhere near as cool as people seem to think I am, I would be married to a female emcee. I'm not that cool, but I can at least PRETEND Boog Brown is talkin' about me in this video, right?

Live Percenters Album Promo with art by Samax Amen (for those who missed it...)

Salem Psalms/Jayforce presents "BEATZ+LYRICS 2 Go Vol 2"

I was invited to do artwork on the new Salem Psalms/Jayforce collabo Beatz + Lyrics 2 Go joint, but unfortunately, I didn't manage to find the time (stop laughing! I'm BUSY dammit!). But that is not a reflection on how ILL it is...  Cause they have their priorities together and stuff, my dudes Flux, Goldi, DTM and lots of other dope drawing machines (shout out to the non-dude Lana Andrade) got down on the singles featuring the likes of Clan Destined, Lex Boogie from the BX, StaHHr, BINKIS Recs, Headkrack, Boog Brown, Arablak, Methuzulah, and more.
Peep some art and listen to it below...
