Left on the Cutting room floor

Co$$ decided to release this cut

that did not make the "Before I Awoke" Lp.

But wanted us here some of Insightful's

production.

"Insightful is one of my favorite up and coming producers. I wanted to drop a joint that he and I did that did not make the final cut for Before I Awoke… Sleep Walking (A Prequel to Being Awake) project coming next month, Before I Awoke 12inch single and full length coming soon after (Summer). Thanks to all for taking the time to listen."

Sundays are for God and good music

One of my favorite jazz albums off all time has been
reworked to bring a different dynamic. Jeremy Taylor
back in 1981 recorded an Lp called "Reggae Interpretation
of Kind of Blue". This Lp remixed Miles Davis' "Kind of Blues".
Not only did he do it justice but brought jazz to new heights.
