I have been wondering a lot lately: What was my iTunes like before I knew about Main Attrakionz ? I mean... I was pretty late in the game, when I found out about Oakland's self-proclaimed " Best Duo Ever ", but I am so thankful that I am no longer in the dark. Main has been on a constant tear, releasing music at a prolific rate. Yesterday was Squadda B 's birthday and proclaimed #GreenDay . And once again, they got up off some new jawns and officially announced signing to [...]

Not hitting yall with the real artwork for this, yall should head over to the Friend Zone's site for that. This was the first track Friend Zone duo hit off with Main Attrakionz . It was recorded something like a year ago.. rill cloudy tho, chance of blunts. So yea the photos are from last week's show at Glasslands.. there are pics all over the place but these are the ones I shot. My favorite one though is over at Impose Magazin e they got a shot of squadda and I givin daps..pretty tight peep [...]

"I'm so live right now, I could take a sip on ya" Mondre said in Main Attrakionz Daytrotter sesh. Mondre 's production is mad ill, same with Squadda though, they're sampling weird things making some different music. They were practically one of the first to get on with Clams , so yea. They'll be at Glasslands this upcoming Sunday. Be there.

MondreM.A.N. - “Cloud” As a recent convert to the Green Ova cult and a rabid fan of anything Main Attrakionz , I’m surprised it took me a month (as well as push from CMG ) to cop MondreM.A.N. ’s killer M A N EP, which dropped late last year via Dreamcollabo . Like 2011’s also-fantastic Dope Since ‘91 , it sees Mondre smoothly [...]

![[Listen] The Shady Bambino Project](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3251697_lg.jpg)
Sounds like Bay Area slaps mixed with spacey, ambient flowing distorted sounds and samples. A lot of these samples sound pop-based with a more contemporary feel which most will recognize; however I have some trouble placing them exactly. Squadda B on the boards, Shady Blaze provides the rapping often in fast-paced double time or triplets. Both artists hail from Oakland, representing one portion of the uniquely ethereal “cloud rap” (so it hath been dubbed by Space Age Hustle ) popping up in various regional underground music. Give their new tape “The Shady Bambino Project” a [...]
