The homies are killin’ it!
Fellow 5-C alum, Greg The Dude, linked up with Outasight for the “Catch Me If You Can” video off his Further project (download here!). Peep the trailer for a glimpse at the upcoming release, on that Bourne Identity type steez…
I absolutely love this track off The Kid Daytona’s Come Fly With Me project (download here). The homey 6th Sense murdered the beat and Tona’s flow is so ill on it. Shout to Three/21 Media and Derek Pike on the direction for the visuals too. Great job all around.
Some words from the director Derek Pike:
Last week I shot the “Air Born” video for The Kid Daytona featuring Bun B. The beat which is produced by 6th Sense has this real mellow floaty vibe to it so I knew I wanted to shoot the majority of this video with someone or something floating in midair. Since shooting in outerspace wasn’t in the budget, I had to settle for NYC. Luckily, Daytona knew someone here on earth that could defy gravity for us, EBCstar Africa. We shot the whole video at a little park downtown, no permits. Aside from having to work around screaming kids at camp, and a basketball leagues scheduled game everything went surprisingly smooth. Daytona and Bun B are two of the nicest and most laid back artists I have ever worked with. Shout outs to the Three/21 fam Rik, Nancy and Steve, Jamal, Owen, Jordan at Sneaktip, Dan, Evan, and of course Daytona, Bun B, 6th and Africa.

If you name drop me in an interview, there’s a good chance I’ll post it up on TAOD hahaha. 4:53 ftw!
Nah, but for real, Outasight and 6th are two of my favorite artists these days and people are starting to recognize the incredible talent they possess. If you’re still in the dark, peep the interview with Terry Urban (what up Mick!) for some good background info and be sure to download one of the best songs of the year too:
Flawless record.
As I alluded to here, The Kid Daytona is one of the nicest MC’s doing it right now and I’m anxiously awaiting his debut album, Come Fly With Me. To help set up the project and make sure that people are aware of the talent, he’s teamed up with Mick Boogie to drop The Daytona 500. Each track flips the same legendary sample that Ghostface used (Bob James’ “Nautilus”), but Daytona and his stable of producers make each joint different and their own. You need to download this immediately.

Also, be on the lookout for another Daytona/Jet Audio collaboration on our upcoming Cornerstone Mixtape. #115 drops any day now…peep the tracklisting here.
Notice I didn’t call it a ‘mixtape’ hahah. Outasight is a really talented artist coming out of NYC and he just teamed up with 6th Sense and Mick Boogie to drop this prequel before his official album is released. There are all sorts of talented folks making appearances on this (Tunji, Cook Classics, Donny Goines, Oddisee, etc.), so you should already know.

If you checked out this week’s Sound Session, you heard us play a cut from the big homey 6th Sense that sampled Adele. The track was taken from the new project from Mick Boogie, Adele: 1988, which just hit the net. You already know it’s gonna be dope. I’ll let Mick introduce it:
Mick Boogie and friends present to you their latest masterpiece, Adele: 1988.
Fresh off the success of the internationally-acclaimed Viva La Hova, the MB team have reunited to introduce rock star Adele (nominated for 4 Grammy awards) to a whole new audience.
Adele’s album 19 set trends and created influence in the pop, rock and international worlds. But what would happen if the vocals and instruments of 19 were combined with the hip-hop sensibilities of the late 1980s, considered by many hip-hop’s golden age?
The result is the new release from Mick Boogie… Adele: 1988.
More than a mashup, it’s a complete reinterpretation of Adele’s album as only Mick Boogie and friends can do.
1 ) Chasing 1988: The Intro (f/ 6th Sense)
2 ) Day Dreams (nVMe Remix)
3 ) Tired (6th Sense Remix)
4 ) First Love (Remot Remix f/ Naledge)
5 ) My Same (Garbs Infinite Remix)
6 ) Melt My Heart To Stone (Kickdrums Remix f/ Big Pooh)
7 ) Cold Shoulder (Garbs Infinite Remix)

The homey 6th Sense put together this project with Mick Boogie for their trip to Nike’s HQ down in the PDX. Your friendly neighborhood Hyphen helped hook up track 5. Tracklisting, download link, and a video recap of their trip after the jump!
