Fabolous & Ne-Yo Working On Collabo LP
So I see Loso isnt playing this year, he is giving us a mixtape and he recently revealed to XXL that he and Ne-Yo are working on a joint album. The project is rumored to be produced in it’s entirety by Ryan Leslie.
“I think this year too I might be doing this project with Ne-Yo finally,†he told XXL. “We’ve been in talks for a minute. It’s really sounding like it’s gonna get done. Ne-Yo is really hyped about it. I just fell back on it, but now I see the wheels are turning a little bit. I think we need that for the game. Some of the allure from the game is gone. You see people doing less numbers, so now let’s do some vanity projects where people are collaborating together.â€

ScienZe x Versis – Astronomy (Taking The Day Off) (Video)

Money Making Jam Boys – The Prestige: Jam Boy Magic (Artwork & News)
Such a boost:
After nearly a year and a half, we’re happy to announce the newest edition to our mixtape series. This go around, we’ve linked up with The Money Making Jam Boys’ for their first mixtape release, The Prestige: Jam Boy Magic. The Money Making Jam Boys (consisting of Black Thought from the Grammy-winning Roots crew, Dice Raw, Truck North, P.O.R.N. and STS) join Kid Cudi, Wale and Donnis as artists that we have supported and championed as a brand.
Seamlessly mixed by The Press Play Show’s own Mick Boogie and Terry Urban, The Prestige – sixteen tracks of hot lava – draws equally upon original production by the likes of Frank Knuckles & ?uestlove, and a revisitation of several golden era hip-hop tracks. Mix that with cuts by the legendary Jazzy Jeff and you get what many who’ve been privy to preview listens state is the best mixtape release we’ve had to-date. We’ll reserve our judgment and let you decide…
It’s party time in NYC, once again, on February 2nd, when we celebrate the release event at Hiro Ballroom with a live performance from MMJB (and whoever else they bring to the show). For those of you not in NYC, we’ll be hosting a listening preview event at Cmonwealth in DC on January 31rst. Event details will follow shortly.
The Prestige will be available for download at our website at 12pm, Brooklyn time, on Thursday, February 3rd. Follow us on Twitter over the next couple of days to catch a peek at preview tracks and videos leading up to the release.

Black Milk x SmCity x Gods’Illa x (Uptown) X.O. – The Indie Life: Concert Series (Event & Mixtape)
Washington, DC (Friday, January 28, 2011)- If you are a hip hop lover and especially a fan of LIVE music, you need to be at U St Music Hall on Sunday, February 13, 2011. Twenty20, Life Massive & SolSource Presents The Indie Life: Concert Series. The series will feature Detroit’s own Black Milk and his live band and also performing on the bill is SmCity, Godsilla & XO. Black Milk is one of the most known un-known great talents of the Hip Hop world. He has been compared to the great J. Dilla but still carries his own weight in the ever changing music industry. Some information to support the opening acts is as follows: SmCity (Founder of The Indie Life movement, The Indie Life: A Motion Picture Album short film which debuted on Okayplayer), XO ( 1/3rd of the critically acclaimed group Diamond District, and also an artist on Studio 43) & Godsilla (Creators & force behind UAU, the #1 open mic in Washington, DC).
The Indie Life: Concert Series is the creation of Hip Hop artist SmCity. With SmCity being a a very well respected artist based in the DC/MD/VA (DMV) area he realized that there needed to be a platform to showcase the indie talent in the correct light. His goal is to bring a nationally known indie artist to Washington, DC and pair some of the most decorated indie artist based in the DMV with that headliner. Tickets can be purchased at: http://theindielife.eventbrite.com. In addition, for your enjoyment before attending the show, The Indie Life: Concert Series Mixtape Vol.1 was created. SmCity states that “Incorporating a mixtape to accompany the series just made a lot of sense to me. For individuals who are not familiar with each artist, but still want to support Hip Hop, I want them to feel included as well.”
Tracklisting and download link after the jump. As for the event, you got time to prepare for it. Be there or be square. Check out the additional flyer as well.
