New York, NY (November 6, 2008) – With all the Election Day hoopla now over with and the real work just beginning, you’re probably feeling a little spent (although I’m sure the celebrating will be in full effect this weekend). Camp Lo and The New Music Cartel had the remedy yesterday, and to follow-up, I wanted to be sure ya’ll got a piece of the action, too.
Camp Lo, in association with the NMC and Loud.com, launched their brand new EP yesterday. You can check out the songs below, each one made specifically for the six sites that are part of the NMC. Contestants were given clues and had to unscramble the meaning of the word “Lumdi,” the single Camp Lo recently released. To give some clarity, the meaning is this: “Cash Feels Like a Fem’s Touch.”
We have a winner, which we’ll announce next week, and we’ll have some more news regarding Camp Lo and some special remixes they have coming up. The will receive autographed copies of “Uptown Saturday Night” and “Let’s Do It Again,” as well as the jackets Suede and Cheeba wore during the “Lumdi” video. Congratulations!
Download the entire Camp Lo + NMC EP with all the official artwork, mp3’s and credits here.
The production credits on this project:
All Songs recorded at The FunHouse by Apple Juice Kid.
All Songs mixed and mastered by Skaz at Flavor Fruit Studios.

New York, NY (October 28, 2008) – I was at SMT for a portion of Rosenberg’s follow-up to this installment, and, according to the god himself, it was as magical as the first go-round. In his own words:
…This was done in one day in August. Oddisee did every beat and I did – well – I pulled it all together. Everyone came through and blessed on the strength. It was a beautiful hip-hop day and I hope you all enjoy it. There is much more to come.
Download “A Rosenberg Oddisee” here. For ya’ll wanting more on the D.C.-based producer/emcee behind this joint, enjoy his Vimby segment below or get over to Rosenbergradio.com

New York, NY (October 24, 2008) – We conclude our series with DJ Vlad and merge two topics that he talked at length on: diversification and filmmaking. In these two segments, Vlad explains his transition into movies and documentaries, what he learned, his upcoming turn on BET’s American Gangster (Mac Dre) and future projects. You’ve never seen this side of Vlad before.
New York, NY (October 24, 2008) – Plus a little Patron. Shout out to producer Bink for the grossly incredible soundtrack. Glad to see these two working together rather than beefing. Propers to Eskay for the scoop on this one.
New York, NY (October 23, 2008) – In honor of the BET Awards, 40 Water and Trevor chop it up on Gangsta Grillz radio. Shouts to Carlos over at Warner for the heads up.
New York, NY (October 23, 2008) – Vlad continues on the mixtape discussion and mixtape DJ’s, as well as discussing the music blog’s roll in helping proliferate new music. This particular discussion was interesting because Vlad hints that a lot of mixtape DJ’s aren’t as rich as people perceive them to be. He also argues that the rapid-fire nature of the blogs is good for music. Yup.
New York, NY (October 22, 2008) – From the gods over at Okayplayer.com:
…Arriving today is The Apple Juice Kid’s Miles Remixed mixtape presented by Okayplayer and Illroots. This joint is definitely a work of art so let us give credit to the other musicians involved: DJ Merlin, Matt Brandau (bass), Mark Wells (Keys) Daniel Hart (Strings) and guest vocals from Yahzarah and Raheem DeVaughn. You will be hearing much more from The Apple Juice Kid soon as he is producing a majority of Camp Lo’s upcoming album.
And be sure to check out Juice’s work on the upcoming New Music Cartel + Camp Lo collaboration in the coming weeks. Get over to their Loud.com page now to peep their “Gettin Up” remix with Q-Tip.
New York, NY (October 20, 2008) – Courtesy of The Smoking Section. For video of a vintage Eminem freestyle (Paul Rosenberg feeding him words), go see Nigel at RealTalkNY here (courtesy of MTV who don’t get the embed because their site is wack!!!).
UPDATE: Spotted at Eskay’s, Marshall chops it up with Radio 1’s Zane Lowe and talks the upcoming “Relapse” with the BBCeezy: “There’s no desire to be that big again. Whatever happens, I’ll take it, but that’s definitely not what I’ll be recording the songs for.”
Charles Hamilton “It’s”
