Mixtape of the Week: Outasight From There to Here an album prequel

Mick Boogie jumps in to produce a new tape from one of my favorite unknowns of 2008. After checking this kid at the Brooklyn Bodega showcase for CMJ I quickly wanted to find out more and downloaded his last free album Radio. I’ve included a video post from Outasight and since then have seen him starting to get a little shine on the nmc blogs, mostly from 2dopeboyz.

As a prequel to his upcoming album, Outasight is releasing some of the obscure tracks from other project and some new remixes to Radio. If you aren’t familiar, its worth checking out. Highlights include a remix to ‘Radio, radio’ with a verse from Ced Hughes, and his Oddisee produced track ‘Exclusive.’

Stay tuned for more from this up and coming talent and download the tape here.

CMJ 2008, and why I’m not sleeping

My apologies to anyone who has been coming here looking for regular updates…I’ve just been crazed with work and now the shows have started. Last night I went to check out the Brooklyn Bodega set at DROM and the Mixtape Awards in Brooklyn. I have a full review that should be on Time Out’s blog soon. For now, check out the video from the Brooklyn Bodega set, featuring performances from Outasight, Che Grand, Fresh Daily, 8thw1, Pac Div and Tanya Morgan. I’ll have a photo gallery up soon as well since the vid quality is kinda poor.
