Valentine’s Day always brings an excessive amount of love and bitterness. For those in touch with the former and those who simply enjoy dope rap music, this here is for you. The progression of the Internet and instaneous music videos all but eliminate the “window of opportunity” to create a visual for a record. Take for example Fly Union’s Jerreau and Dom Kennedy’s bluesy and baby skin smooth “Like That.”
Released close to a year ago, the music still sounds as fresh as it did when we first were blessed with its presence. It’s difficult to tackle the subject of love and relationships in Hip-Hop without sound overly corny or cheesy. Yet, J and Dom manage to do so and the accompanying visuals help bring those deep rooted emotions to life. If this was on your playlist for V-Day 2K10, keep it consistent and let these two keep the mood mellow, drinks flowing and love kindled.
Speaking of Leimert Park’s finest, From The Westside With Love 2 cannot get here quick enough.

Ohio music >>>>>>
Oh, we on Ohio music now? Good lol.
From the Westside with Love II > Westside story
Ohio HipHop(with the exception of Bow Wow) > Ohio Sports
@ Gotty Ohio is like ATL in 2005…on the come up
I thought Chicago & St. Louis had next for the longest time and they’ve had good success. But I’d be a-okay if Ohio caught fire in terms of popularity.
Stalley’s ITM drops tomorrow. It’s nice.
I didnt know where else to ask this. I’m stationed in San Antonio and was thinking of going to SXSW this year but would have to take leave ahead of time. Any suggestions on what dates to take off, and how much money I should be expecting to blow throughout the week cash wise for events and such.
If its too early at this point to tell let me know. I just know TSS covered it last year so I figured you all had some insight
Get there early thurs, leave early Sun. That’s what I do.
As for money, your flight + room = the major expenses. After you get there, you’re pretty much good to go. minimal loot for food and drink. Just smoke cigarettes lol.

Can’t wait for that. Entirely produced by Rashad for Elevator Music. been seeing dude quietly grinding it out the past 6-7 years. Hope he gets some of the attention he deserves, cause he’s a talented vocalist as well as a producer. He’s a Columbus, Ohio product too & the CO is like my second home (in my mind at least lol).
BTW – I’m a big Jerreau fan & I keep all of Fly.U’s Value Packs on the iPod. These guys should have a higher profile then they have currently. Hopefully that changes in 2011.
Here’s last year’s V-Day themed Value Pack…
Fly.Union – Value Pack 4 (Ladies Edition)

Thanks Gotty. Ill probably just make the commute(sp?). Its an hour and some change drive from San Antonio. Now is this Thursday on which week? I was on the SXSW website and it looks like this is a 2 week event.
Driving down? You’re extra good.
Week 2 is the music.
1:42 Shawty……is…..FIRE! That face got me….then the song.
March 17-20 are the dates.
& it’s good to see Fly U & everyone else in the CO (& Ohio) get some shine. They’ve all been grinding literally forever.
@King Tutankhamun (reincarnated) the other chick can get it too…even with that Zit on her forehead
Holy shit, it took them a long time to release a video for this. However, this song is my shit. When I heard a Mayer Hawthorne sample, I thought to myself “OH SHIT, ingenious!”
I been sleepin on Fly.Union but this track with Dom woke me up haha. Good shit.
@Just Dope… The other chick can indeed “get it”……it meaning a kick to the curb. hahaha!!! (I’m so cruel :)
Purevolume House should have free Taco Bell every 3 hours if you’re into the whole having diarrhea an hour after you eat thing.
If anyone can re-up those Value Packs from Fly U I’d appreciate it (I have 1 & 4 already; the usershare links for the others don’t work anymore).
Thanks
this is my first time ever seeing dom. for some reason i thought he would look like gibbs.
