I find these awesome recipes for rubs in pretty random places (I'm talking sports magazines, library books even pizza boxes). I hurry home, take out my block of tofu, clean and gut it gently, throw away all the unnecessary parts (tofu stomach is pretty disgusting if you ask me) and set to work rubbing that block with the utmost love. When it looks good I pop it in the oven and tap the minutes away until it is ready. I slide a piece in my mouth expecting bliss and what I get instead is...horror. This tastes awful! I just [...]
![[Hip/Hop] Sol – Dear Friends Vol. III Mixtape](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3605926_lg.jpg)
We recently featured Sol , the star of Seattle's hip-hop scene, when he released 'This Shit' , the phenomenal teaser for his latest mixtape, 'Dear Friends Vol. III'. Now, 'This Shit' set the standard high, but the rest of the mixtape exceeds any expectations you could have had. A beguiling mixture of up-and-at-'em tracks (the intoxicating 'Addicted') and slower numbers such as 'Farewell' and 'WTF', 'Dear Friends...' is lyrically powerful throughout and doesn't fall into predictability. Artists Grieves and Dice make cameos on 'The Times' and 'For The Love' and add to Sol's sound [...]

Sol's Dear Friends, Vol. III is finally up for grabs on his site. He's far from a new face to the pages of TQF but incase you don't know he's been holding Seattle down for about 2-3 years through his music. His style is pretty old-school but he has his own fresh twist to it. The Times and This Shit are two tracks that I still can't get enough of, I'm hoping there's more where that came from here. The release [...]

This very site is a perfect example of the shift in paradigm from vinyl and record labels to mp3s and blogs. In that spirit please enjoy/download [...]
