Talib Kweli x Blacksmith x Mick Boogie Present: The Community Mixtape

Hit you with a few tracks from this already.  The whole package is ready to go.
Jams from Kweli, Jean Grae, Strong Arm Steady and some dope features, plus submissions from posters on YearOfTheBlacksmith.com that Kweli selected himself.  Have some.

Strong Arm Steady - Makings of You

   Strong Arm Steady ft. Curtis Mayfield - Makings of You (Prod. by Pete Rock) by alexberber187

According to SAS, they had this beat from Pete Rock a while ago, and it was meant for their upcoming Arms & Hammers album, but then some dude from Chicago came and bought the beat for a much higher price and put this random Brooklyn kid on it.  Who knew?

Strong Arm Steady x Madlib ft. Planet Asia - Chitlins & Pepsi

REALLY surprised that this song got a video.  Still dope, though

Until The Roots last album came out, SAS x Madlib's In Search of Stoney Jackson was my walkaway winner for Album of the Year so far.  Now, I have to think about it.

Requisite bonus jam: "Best of Times" ft. Phonte

Krondon (of Strong Arm Steady) - Incline

Incline by letskeepgoing

Khrysis on them beats.
What a perfect beat for Krondon.  This is heavy.
Its entrance music.

Strong Arm Steady ft. Sick Jacken - Pressure

Madlib on them beats.
At the halfway point, I think this is still my leader for Album of the Year.
Don't sleep...



Bonus:  "Best of Times" ft. Phonte

Strong Arm Steady x madlib ft. Phonte - Best of Times

I love this song.  It's flawless.
It's absolute, 100%, pure Hip-Hop perfection.
Songs like this just don't exist too much anymore.
If you don't have this album yet, you REALLY are letting yourself down.  GET IT!

Strong Arm Steady ft. Phonte - Best of Times

Madlib on them beats.
This is like the 84th jam they've let loose off this album, but all them shits have been right.
Have some.

Strong Arm Steady ft. Sick Jacken - Pressure

Madlib on them beats.
Get up on this album.
Trust me.

Madlib x Strong Arm Steady - Jordache Look

Yeah.  That's the jam right there.
Crass and slightly vulgar, yet smooth.
Like Brooklyn Lager.
Madlib x Strong Arm Steady: In Search of Stoney Jackson arrives on the 26th.

Strong Arm Steady ft. Talib Kweli - Get Started

Madlib on them beats.

Strong Arm Steady x madlib - Get Your Money Right

Madlib = Truth.
I didn't even know this collabo album was happening.
After reading the additional info, I'm still unclear if its out yet...bu I'm sure I'll get my hands on it one way or another.
