Infused with a techno instrumental, HighLife and Naledge are here with a loosie that won't land on any project, but "She A $@#%" will surely get people turnt at any event where it gets played. The artwork for the track is also pretty cool. Shouts to IMF for the heads-up.

The African Cup of Nations finished about 10 days ago, bringing an end to a lackluster three weeks of footy action. I'm a huge proponent of African football, yet the quality of play displayed on those dusty South African pitches was not what the continent deserved, especially from some of the big names in international football like Yaya Toure, Victor Moses, Didier Drogba, etc. Among the final four teams was a favorite, the Ghanaian Black Stars, and three underdogs, the Mali Eagles, the Stallions from Burkina Faso, and the Nigerian Super Eagles. In the real-life soccer tourney, [...]
Deep House and UK Funky typically have vocals. Yet, many listeners now favor club tracks with no words. The oft-overlooked style is the theme of this mixtape. And, it may just make your shy Valentine do the nasty.

![[Video] Cody DeCamry: “HighLife”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4653119_lg.jpg)
Cody DeCamry keeps promoting his Blazed mixtape with a new set of visuals for the single "Highlife". The 802s-inspired retro-style video finds Cody at a wild party running away from a hideous chick all night until someone slips him some type of designer drug in his drink and the girl finally gets a hold of him. This is a really entertaining video and it's highly-recommended to watch, especially if you're under the influence of any type of illicit substance. https://www.youtube.com/watch? feature=player_embedded&v=onwX VhCh6Rc
For reasons unknown, all names shall be culled from this blogaruu. Except for mine. I'm going full on narcissistic. Tropical Hayes all the way! So it's the day after Halloween. Actually, the night. Limo pulls up outside my abode. It's time. Put on my private jet pants. Grab my bag. Scuttle out. Hop in. High fives. [...]
There's no shortage of songs about weed in rap, but, in the case if drug-related music, it's always more intriguing when content matches inspiration. So, a bit of forewarning: "Platinum OG" is some seriously languid, lose-yourself-in-the-couch-and -iTunes-visualizer music. The production, built around pitched down vocals and soupy bass, feels almost chopped and screwed in tempo. The result mimics the emcees' the potential side effects of pot, as Highlife, Kami de Chukwu , Joey Purp wax poetic about their drug of choice.
Produced by Nez & Rio. Highlife dedicates this one to - well, the high life. SaveMoney's Kami de Chukwu and Joey Purp assist, as well as THEMPeople's Michael Anthony. You can catch this track on Highlife's Le Tour De Dope project, which is due out soon.
Highlife slowed down a little bit as far as releasing music. He got our hopes up during the spring and summer for his debut mixtape, but has been a silent as of late. The silence has been lifted in more ways than one as Highlife brings us this laidback stoner posse track featuring Michael Anthony of THEMpeople, plus Kami de Chukwu and Joey Purp of #SaveMoney. Nez & Rio on the beat.
Gang Gang Dance & White Magic member Doug Shaw makes reverb-heavy, style-sampling rock under the name Highlife. Recently, he recorded a live set he did in Copenhagen, a performance that includes nine completely new songs from the project. You can stream the tape below. Read More...
