Alright, ya’ll. We gonna keep posting this amazing dynamic duo on this blog until you stop sleeping. DLRN (did ya’ll change the spelling upon meeting the rock Delorean at SXSW?) has released a follow-up to their 2009 No More Heroes entitled The Bridge.

May I say that I am impressed once again. I mean, seriously. I didn’t think I would be. But nope. Jon Reyes keeps solidifying the sound while 5th Ave continues to take his flow to new levels. Man, fuck ya’ll.

Click the cover to download an amazing piece of music for FREE. I’m on it as well. Search thoroughly…for now check out this track featuring two greats Illecism and Prometheus Brown (Geo of Blue Scholars).

iLL-Homies: In the Studio with Delorean

I know, I know. I’m suppose to be on vacation. But when I told Jon Reyes I was home, he told me he had just talked to 5th Ave about featuring me on this beat that he had just made as the closing song to the project they were finishing this coming weekend. The stars had aligned. I barely made the cut for Delorean’s new project The Bridge, which drops on July 20th. We are all in for a treat!

For now, study up on the group by checking out their first album, No More Heroes, being released for FREE on their website tomorrow! Don’t sleep. I’m on “Chillin’”, “Young Super” might be one of the illest hip-hop beats you’ll ever hear, and the intro/outro makes me feel like I’m hearing Saul Williams busting at the Nuyorican for the first time.

By the time you’ve gotten over the first one, you’ll be prepared to cross The Bridge. Take a peek and see for yourselves!

Mandatory Monday: Delorean “Dear Langston”

My folks Delorean just dropped the video for the No More Heroes banger “Dear Langston”. This video is a beautiful marriage of hip-hop and contemporary art taking inspiration from New York based painter Kehinde Wiley. Check out a couple of these images for context and then check out the motion picture accompanied by soundtrack.

Wednesday Word: Delorean “No More Heroes”

“What you been listening to?” has always been a hard question for me to answer – “I mean, do you want me to list the song titles?” But lately, it has never been so clear: whatever is on my iPod shuffle, Drake’s So Far Gone, and the advanced copy of Delorean’s No More Heroes. Yeah, that’s right. Sacramento’s own Delorean, the rapper-producer duo, 5th Ave and Jon Reyes…and I can’t tell you how excited I am to have some more local inspiration colonizing my stereo system! I’ll make sure to write up a detailed explanation on why this album is the SHIT when it officially drops on June 16th. For now, just listen to poet-extraordinaire David Scott bless the introductory title track and maybe then you’ll get idea of the ride you’ll be taking with Delorean.
