N.E.R.D.-Spazz (Unknown Remix) Download audio file (Spazz-Remix.mp3) Well hello! It's been a minute since, right? The Blind I staff used to crank out compilations so quickly, but I find that the quality of the compilations is so much more thorough when we spend time really playing the music to see what works together. It's spring! My spirits are super high and ideas and opportunities are blossoming. I'm feeling good and hopefully you are too! There's no formula or [...]

SPEAK! put out "SPEAK! + @NikkoGray + @afta1 = Letsgo ... song 6 of 8. Happy Chrimbus yall!" late last night for night 6 of his music giveaway. Check the track below...
SPEAK! dropped "Night 5 of 8 of FREE SPEAK! music! "Huh" (prod by @afta1 )". More great tracks from SPEAK! for the Holidays, check it below...
Night 2 of SPEAK!'s non Kosher Hanukkah music give away brings us "Highly Unlikely" produced by Afta1. It's another dope release from SPEAK!, and I'm loving how he's actually putting out some really well done tracks for his multiple day release, most of these things consist of a bunch of mediocre songs. Check the latest track below, and be on the lookout for his third release to drop probably later tonight...
SPEAK! dropped his newest album entirely for free today at midnight. The album, titled "Inside Out Boy", is full of production from Odd Future's Syd, Super 3, Afta-1, Left Brain,Alf Alfa & Lord Botch, and features guest rappers Vince Staples, Cashius Green, and Def Sound. It's an album worthy of multiple listens that is definitely going to win SPEAK! some new fans on a listen. It's a dope release from the unique rapper, check out some tracks from the album as well as catch the free download link below... #Trillwave DOWNLOAD ALBUM HERE [...]

Since I discovered his album FORM I was instantly in love with his music . “We all have the ability within us to create any and everything we can visualize. This project has [...]
Earlier this year, producer AFTA-1 quietly released a swoon-worthy EP with songstress Nikko Gray . They actually dropped it on Valentine's Day, a fitting date given the love-centric rhythms and vocals heard on its four tracks. And as we wait for a follow-up project, the West Coast producer has shared this superb live footage of him performing "H(eye)Land" with some help from Gray. She might not appear in the video, but her sensual vocals are coursing through the veins of this track. [ via ] Hit the skip to watch the performance.
Download audio file (Prototype-Netsky-Remix.mp3) We know you guys have been wondering, "What happened to the compilations on Blind I?" for quite some time, right? Well, no worries! We're restructuring the site a bit and we plan to roll out some exciting new features in the near future. It's getting chilly out and rather than spending time outside partying, more of us are bundling up with significant others. I equate fall with romance. Always have and always will. So I figured it was time for another Rendezvous. Enjoy! Let me know [...]
BUG debut EP "Mechanical Soul" is out today via jus like music records. You can sample our pick from the set "Loose Threads" below. BUG's soulful sound probably falls somewhere between the retro-future-funk of Dam-Funk and the spacey emotive beats of AFTA-1. Peep game below.

![Little Dragon - Seconds (Syd Tha Kid Remix) [Mp3]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3694929_lg.jpg)
Full disclosure: most of us here at EastofLA are all about the enigmatic frontwoman Yukimi Nagano and her electronic-driven act, Little Dragon . Even with all of our tastes differing wildly in many ways, the Swedish indie band's R&B-influenced space-y sound oddly transcends any aural constraints we subconsciously place in our minds and find ourselves lost in toe-tapping, head-nodding bliss. Enter Odd Future 's de-facto producer Syd Tha Kid . Re-working "Seconds" off of the quartet's third full-length, Ritual Union , Syd finds a down-tempo, ambient middle ground between her own beat-making and the band's sound (not unlike AFTA-1 [...]

![Cashius Green - 8/24/11 (Untitled) [Mp3]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3681995_lg.jpg)
Young and ambitious; two choice descriptors for Cashius Green , a recording artist from the UTB Lifestyle set based out of Southern California that sounds like he's been in the hip-hop game longer than he actually has. Boasting a flow with no falter, C. Green concocts slang-ladled, jive-talked verses in his signature drawl that are inarguably demonstrative of years of skill honing and sharpening. Download The Joyful Xplosion mixtape for free here and peep some of Green's more recent work below: 8-24-11 by [...]
![Pheo. - “Dayquil” & “Nyquil” [Mp3]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3680177_lg.jpg)
Moreno Valley's self-proclaimed 'original black man' and overall smooth-spitting Pheo. continues on his self-reflective lo-fi journey that began with his surreal joint "Nyquil" on the song's counterpart, "Dayquil". Listen and download both tracks below and, if you've slept on it, download your free copy of his record Wriot! here . Pheo. - Nyquil by Pheo Pheo. - Dayquil by Pheo
Roll Wit A ₩inner [Prod. By AFTA-1] Toronto native and Hip-Hop recording artist, The 6th Letter is back with yet another addition to his weekly "Dope Ass Monday" series, produced by AFTA-1 . The 6th Letter was recently announced to be the opening act for The Smokers Club Tour (Part Deux) show at Kool Haus in his hometown Toronto on October 21st 2011, alongside established acts such as Method Man , Curren$y , Big K.R.I.T. , Smoke DZA & more. He was [...]
On the low, AFTA-1 is one of the top left-field boom-bap producers doing it right now. He might not have the coverage of his contemporaries - nah, I'm not naming names - but he should . He doesn't just make wacky beats or anything like that. Dude makes jazz-inspired music . And you know what, AFTA-1 probably isn't as big as he should be because his music is rarely offered for free. He has changed his tune for this new track, though, the absolutely gorgeous "Petal Movement Slow". Stream the track below and hit the skip [...]
