Sene: "Follow Leaders"
It's always great getting music from a project that I'm mixing/hosting, and this morning brought more of a good thing as Sene's "Follow Leaders" hit my inbox ready to post. The song is part of Sene's forthcoming EP, Reality Bites, which is being presented by RubyHornet, 2dopeboyz, DJBooth, and KevinNottingham (pretty good company). I'm mixing the project, and super excited to work with Sene. I think he has a tremendous amount of talent, and am happy that's he's embraced me and RubyHornet as much as we've embraced his music, especially ADayLateAndDollarShort. Check out "Follow Leaders" and look for the EP coming soon.

Teaming up with Chicago-based producer Anton Genius, Kyra Kyles is going to create a song using simplistic lyrics, sparse production, and the good old hype machine. She can explain the whole thing much better than me, and you can find said description at her blog. You can also see the first part of the project in action in the video posted below.

This is pretty dope, sent over by Jonathan Kim:
On November 1st, 2009 Jay Electronica met up w/ B+ and Eric Coleman of Mochilla to take them on a intimate tour of Jay's home city of New Orleans, taking them down to his beloved Magnolia Projects in the Third Ward. The video provides a personal reflection from Jay Electronica, and the drastic changes that took place post Hurricane Katrina.
Intertwined w/ the video, are photos that were shot weeks after Hurricane Katrina when B+ and Eric Coleman were invited to New Orleans to screen one of their previous projects, Brasilintime.
Finally, the video ends w/ a live performance by Jay Electronica during VTech's sponsored Voodoo Festival in New Orleans, performing his acclaimed "Exhibit A."
