VIDEO: CHACE INFINTE FT.FASHAWN AND CURT@!N$ - 730
Here's a new video from Chace Infinite's for a track called 730 featuring Fashawn and Curt@in$. This track is from Chace's recently released mixtape I Would Have Killed This. Look for Chace to perform with SAS and GCM tomorrow at The Roxy.
Fashawn takes a little walk down "Memory Lane." Damm.. this sounds like some vintage shit... Peep the hat!
“Just wanted to thank everybody for their support in 2009. I couldn’t have been asked for a better group of colleagues, fans, and team to help get my music out to the masses. I’m gonna drop this project I actually wrote and recorded in a week while living in LA last summer before I did “The Antidote”. I chose to hold off on it for a while, but feel 2010 is the perfect time to let my fans hear it. Here’s a little taste of it. Shout outs to Green Lantern for lacing me with instrumentals, to Large Pro for helping me get what is almost impossible to get and to one of the best poets to ever live who inspired me to do what i do. Look for more music, collabs and shows for 2010. God Bless and Thanks again.”
So I went to see Ghostface and Fashawn a couple days ago in San Diego, and since Fashawn's new album Boy Meets World is out now, I'm putting up the video of the freestyle he did over a bunch of classic beats. Forgive my recording skills this is seriously the first video I've ever put on Youtube, but plenty more to come in the future. - Richard
It's a big week for Fashawn. His album "Boy Meets World" drops today. His CD release show with Talib Kweli is Saturday at Tower Theatre. The rest of the week, he's on tour with Ghostface Killah. He's even featured on the front page of MySpace and not to mention he's also turning 21 this week. The result is a new mixtape called "21 To Grow On." It's intended to be a "best-of" all his pre-"Boy Meets World" material. It's 21 tracks, pulled from all seven of his mixtapes courtesy of the Beehive. You can download it here.

Dietrich from SA Kennels came by with a new breed called the SA Terrier.... This cute dog only gets to weigh about 25 pounds full grown. I think Nick Diamond just copped one...
