TOBY (of INVERSE) f/ DEACON THE VILLAIN - SUNSHINE BLUES (MUSIC DOWNLOAD)

As we all know Inverse is no more and the former duo have gone separate ways to pursue their solo careers.  We've seen Tunji pop up here and there and some have asked where is Toby?  Well evidently he's been in the lab.  As he prepares to drop his new project "Evolutionary" he gives us this track to vibe with.  Check it out.

INVERSE - SO FAR VIDEO on MTVU

Tunji & Toby aka Inverse have a new video that you can vote for on MTVU.com...so after you watch it here, go there and vote for it into rotation. Support your own folks and we can start to see more of our talent on TV. Complaining about how we never see new acts or we never see West Coast artists on MTV or BET isn't going to solve it...it's up to the people to demand it.

INVERSE - KEYS TO THE CITY LA

Inverse - Keys to the City - LA from Yours Truly on Vimeo.

Tunji shot this over yesterday but I was parade venturing and other madness all day.  Peep them out and head over to iTunes as Inverse's So True EP debuted over there.  Get that if haven't already.  And Tunji I need that OlaTUNJI track you performed on Sunday...it's also Tunji's bday so hit him up and show some love.

REFLECTION ETERNAL - INTERNET CONNECTION f. BOOTSY COLLINS

When Tunji sends me stuff I try to post ASAP...and when Reflection Eternal is one of my favorite artist/producer collabs I have no prob sharing this with the public.  If you don't know who Reflection Eternal is...it's Talib Kweli & Hi-Tek.  Get familiar.  Oh and Tunji did his thing last night as Inverse and their live band got the show at UCLA yesterday started right.  Video footage coming soon.

If you know nothing about Inverse, I suggest you get familiar with them and come out and see them rock next Saturday at the Palmer Room. This video is from their recent visit to KUBE 93 and DJ Hyphen. Enjoy.

FCC presents

So as you know, the FCC (myself included) has been sponsoring collabo tracks with some of LA's finest acts as well as dropping all sorts of western newness on ya'll...well now we're taking it a STEP further and putting on a show with some of those very acts. In conjunction with Ophrap Recordings the FCC presents LIFT OFF 2009. It will be the offcial release party for DJ Spintelect's Terminator Mixtape, the wrap party for the Mass Appeal 09 remix and the listening party for El Prez & Dale Danja's Perfect Strangers EP. The event will go down next Saturday at the Palmer Room and will feature live performances by Inverse, Chris Focus, Convinced and El Prez (along with some surprise guests). The show will also be sponsored by VIMBY and Hip Hop Official. Keep it locked for more developments in regards to the event.

INVERSE - SO TRUE EP

So let's start the day off right...at least my day, lol. I told you to expect that new INVERSE project this week. It's a couple days behind schedule...but you have to be patient if you want the good stuff in life sometimes. So here it is without further adieu: INVERSE - SO TRUE. I see you Tunji. Can't wait to crack this open.

So True - Inverse

INVERSE: working on SO TRUE

Inverse - Recording for So True...next to a Kennel from Cook Classics on Vimeo.


Inverse - Recording Violin with Paul Dateh from Cook Classics on Vimeo.

So Inverse was supposed to drop the new EP entitled SO TRUE yesterday but some things are holding that up. Tunji said we can have it today so I'm waiting on that now. To tie us all over, check out these videos of them working on the new EP as well as the artwork. Hopefully we'll have the EP for download VERY SOON.

INVERSE - SO TRUE f. DEACON

Yo Tunj...forgive me for being a day late on this track. If you've never known the background on Tunji know he's a sick emcee that makes up 1/2 of the group Inverse. They've been making some noise out here for some time and they just dropped this new track yesterday featuring Deacon of CunninLynguists. This is the single off of their upcoming EP: So True, which is due on the 1st of January (same day they dropped their last project So Far) Enjoy.

So True f. Deacon - Inverse

MAROON 5 x DJ KNO

So obviously Maroon 5 has a remix album, but for some reason this particular remix was left off. DJ Kno of CunninLynguists created this little gem, Goodnight Goodnight. Props to Tunji for sending this over.

Goodnight Goodnight - Maroon 5 (remixed by DJ Kno)

FCC Exclusive: CONVINCED X TUNJI - GOODBYE NEVER

So the two above cooked up a lil dish late last night/early this morning...and with the swiftness, E Dub had it for "leakage". What I'm liking is the west coast unity and the fact that rappers are doing what they love...rapping. Go to the studio make some tracks and give it to listeners. So enjoy...and the FCC will be having more exclusive collabo tracks in the future. Oh yeah.

Goodbye Never (prod. by Dahi) - Convinced & Tunji

Keelay & Zaire - New ISH

My man Tunji just sent this over to me...so you know I gotta get it out. 2 tracks from the guys above...one featuring Blu, the other featuring Tunj himself. Gotta luv it. Enjoy.

By the way, these two new joints from their album Ridin' High, dropping February 21st. The album is entirely produced by Kee & Zee and features appearances from Phonte, Blu, Torae, Tunji, Supastition, Cali Agents and more.

The Times - Keelay & Zaire f. Blu (and more)

Inverse - Behind the Scenes Photos

While over at Tunji's cyber pad, I saw these pics and figured I'd post them up so that you can get acquainted with Inverse. I missed the shoot for their upcoming video for HipHopSoul, because I was stuck in LV (same weekend i missed Miguel's show) so these photos were taken so the folks who couldn't be there can feel like they know what's goin on... head over there to see more.

Tunji's New Halloween Costume...MAN OH MAN!!!!!!

Planet Asia's Bday - Busby's East

2nite Planet Asia will be celebrating his bday at Busby's East on Wilshire. I had a little B'day pre bash here the day before my bday. Nice lil spot, cool atmosphere...so you don't have plans, so make some here. It's Thursday...can't hurt. Shouts to Tunji for hipping me to this...and I see the FCC counterparts have already beat me to the punch.
