GLC X Kanye RH Re-Up
Earlier in the week I posted some footage of GLC and Kanye West previewing music from Love, Live, and Loyalty. This is a perfect time to do a blog version of a remix (same content presented with a new picture rather than a guest feature), as GL sent me this pic earlier today. The two were in LA shooting the much anticipated "Big Screen" video.

Cage: "Nothing Left To Say"
From his upcoming LP...
"After a tumultuous year of personal strife and creative frenzy Definitive Jux recording artist Cage (aka Chris Palko) prepares to release his long awaited follow up to 2005's heralded Hell's Winter. The new full length album entitled Depart From Me is set to be released on June 30th of this year. The album has been two years in the making and promises to be a harrowing journey through dense lyricism coupled with sparse resonate production by F. Sean (Martin), El-P, Aesop Rock, and Camu Tao (R.I.P.)."

GLC and DJ RTC: Similar To The Letters Mixtape
I am very happy to present GLC and RTC: Similar To The Letters. The mixtape features unreleased GLC material, live performances, new joints, and a guest appearance by Taterchip. Similar To The Letters is a mixtape born out of talks I've had with GLC, our shared philosophies, and of course, the three letter monikers that we both employ.
GLC's full length debut, Love, Life, and Loyalty, also speaks to the principles that define him, and this mixtape serves as a perfect table-setter. The songs presented offer up trials, tribulations, and triumphs in the life of Leonard Harris, with a few touches from RTC. The track list is below as well as the download link.
*Special thanks goes out to Michael Kolar at SoundScape Studios for sitting with me through what seemed like endless sessions until we got everything just right.
DJ RTC: "Swagger Like Chi" feat. Naledge, MarVo, Really Doe, Bump J, Mikkey Halsted, & GLC
"Swagger Like Us" hit the internet a few weeks ago and has become a monster smash. Kanye West, Jay-Z, Lil' Wanye, and T.I. all delivered on the biggest posse cut in years, and the infectious beat has been tackled by emcees nationwide. Shortly after the track's release, I was able to get my hands on an instrumental, which I emailed to Mikkey Halsted, jokingly asking him to shout me out if he decided to go in on the beat. A few days later Really Doe came through the RH office and told us about his experience with the beat, and a futile attempt to land it for his American 2 Fresh debut. We pitched him the idea of jumping on the track with Mikkey and he was down. More importantly, the wheels were in motion. We quickly hit up Naledge, who was in town gearing up for Kidz In The Hall's tour with Murs, he was in as well and "Swagger Like Chi" finally had some legs. We enlisted GLC for the final slot, called Michael Kolar at SoundScape Studios and booked a recording session...
