In this album, Dan The Automator takes music from popular Bollywood scores and makes beats out of them. How can you resist titles like "Fists of Curry," "The Good, The Bad, and The Chutney," or "Punjabis, Pimps and Players." hahahaha. You'll definitely like this one. Happy Monday!

DJ Haylow- A Tribe Called Quest: Queens Representatives

From my good homie's blog. enjoy!

Once upon a time, Distortion 2 Static had a radio show hosted my myself and Beats Me. We would do tributes, themes and such, and one episode we did a tribute to Tribe Called Quest. I did an ALL TRIBE mix for about 90 min straight, and me and Beats me had mic breaks discussing one of the best Hip Hop groups of all time. We discontinued the radio show, but I still had the mix, so I figured I would release it to the many who haven't heard it; fix the levels, add artwork, and give it a title, and voila! New Mixtape! So this is a joint I did about 2 years ago, and it's a straight shot...no multi-tracking or edits, so please excuse the mistakes. With that said, it gets the stamp of approval. This one goes out to all the Tribe enthusiasts across the globe.

Outkast- Idlewild (OST)

I have to admit, I really slept on this album and movie. I finally got a chance to check out the film a few months back and I thought it was a good representation of how innovative and creative Outkast is. My only knock on this Soundtrack is that they don't have the slower version of Andre's "She lives in my lap" which was in a pivotal point in the film. Nevertheless, this is a dope album and a must-have for any Outkast fan. Peace!!!

Andre 3000's verse from "Chronomentrophobia"

Lord, please have mercy on my soul,
I have the impression that my life goin' to be a bowl with cherries,
but it's going to be very hard for me to cope,
tired of being broke,
this ATLian aint' got no time to sit and mope,
made up my mind while yall made up yo beds,
on a cold wooden floor is where I lie my head,
born in 1975,
Never thought I would make it this far, I'm still battilin' this racial war,
tryin' to find solutions of the situation I face,
the only thing that is free is my flow that yall be chasin',
lettin' my niggas know before I go,
I drop that knowledge like dropping books,
lets stop the crooks from robbing you from your reins and such,
using wellfare as a cruch,
im in it for good,
you into my hood you wont be findin' much,
hope that when im gone yall remember this,
what we stood for,
fuck that fame make that glits,
it's begening to look a lot like the ending, got to be more careful,
know what corners you be benden, revalations is getting impatient,
now i'm dead,
remember what I said,
i'm gone,
bow yo heads
