The Future - Young Scolla

Valentine's Day is the day for love (common knowledge) and if you know me, music is my love. I'm not a creator of it, but yeah it's something like important to me. Today (and yesterday) a few things released that made my day.

To kick things off, DJ K-Fresh — who runs Renaissance Soul one of the first Detroit-ized (my blog, my made up word) sites I ever read — released the: 'Hell No We Won't Go: 'Nam Mix' yesterday evening. It's not a hip-hop mix, it's not a soul mix, it's a vinyl mix with hit songs from the 60's and 70's and features songs like: "If You Want Me to Stay" by Sly and the Family Stone and "Sunshine of Your Love" by Cream. Speaking as Alex, listening to music on vinyl is the BEST way to listen to music, it has a certain sound that just ... it's indescribable. Definitely something different than what your used to, but I know every music fan (no hip-hop heads or pop tarts) music fans will appreciate this.

Basic Alex Statement: I hate Ohio, but I like Fly.Union. I did mess up for a minute with the whole not having Value Pack 3 but the fellas released Value Pack 4 today which features the like of Dom Kennedy (who was recently at Michigan State Univ. performing with BJ the Chicago Kid). I guarantee the next XXL Freshman class will feature Fly.Union (and I don't say that kind of stuff often).

We always scream Support Detroit and now here's your opportunity. The homie Young Scolla released his EP 'Escaping Reality' tonight for Valentine's Day. It went on sale tonight and is basically a name your price deal. It features songs produced by Tecknowledgy, Syrenn and Charlie Hilton (who produced 'The Future" feat. Bryant Stewart) and has a guest spot by K-Bunz, who is releasing his mixtape sometime soon. It's a pretty dope project that is a nice little something to hold people over until the anticipated Renaissance Dreams releases later this year (Days? Months? Weeks? who knows).
