DJ Spinna’s always been one of my favorite producers, and to see him working with one of my favorite MCs, Homeboy Sandman, is something really special to me.

Check out his video for “Get On Down,” which also features Fresh Daily and P.So (Formerly P.CASSO) below…

Also, make sure you congratulate Mr. Spinna on his daughter Mylah being born yesterday morning.

VIA.

The guys over at chromemusic did their due diligence and found the sample that was used in the track “As We Enter”. The sample originates from the Ethiopian jazz legend Mulato Astatke’s track “Yegelle Tezeta”. It’s also nice to see how the Distant Relatives project is coming full circle. Part of the premise of “Distant Relatives” is about the links to Africa that are shared by Nas and Damian so its only right the production reflects that.

Homeboy Sandman has an upcoming show at Santos Party House this Saturday. So I thought I would add a little bit of a prequel to it with an interview clip where he breaks down the meaning of his name and why he choose to be an MC. Oh, and as an added teaser I also decided to pack this post with a little promo freestyle from some of the artists in Saturday’s show. Enjoy.

Striking album artwork for the collaborative album by Nas & Damian Marley, due in March of 2010. It definitely ties the concept of the album together.
