Blue Eyes meets Bed-Stuy - Dj Capel / Smitty

Frank Sinatra, meet Notorious B.I.G.

This is beautiful mash-up mixtape made by Dj Capel & Smitty. They aren't total Sinatra songs, mostly just the riff turned into a beat with some blue eyes clips to set the mood, and biggie there to get the blunt in rotation

Nas - Illmatic - 1994



"Illmatic is the debut album of American rapper Nas, released April 19, 1994 on Columbia Records. Stylistically a hardcore hip hop album, Illmatic features Nas's multi-syllabic internal rhyme patterns expressing inner city lyrical themes and narratives based on his native Queensbridge, New York."



i love this album too much to write anything about it. If you dont download this and at least listen to it once tell me so we can no longer be friends

Joanna Newsom - Have One On Me -2010

Joanna Newsom (born January 18, 1982) started taking piano lessons at a very early age and played for a couple of years, but switched to the harp at seven. Her approach to the harp, from the percussive aspects of her playing to her chord changes, was also influenced by West African and Venezuelan harp music, which she began studying at a folk music camp she attended in her early teens
