What up Fam…Here’s a mix that was sent to us by DJ Vinroc of the world famous 5th Platoon DJs. Hit after the jump… This is what Vinroc had to say about the concept of the project.
“Well recently I was asked to put a little promo mix together by Packer Shoes for Dominique aka “The Human Highlight Film” and the 20th Anniversary release of the Reebok Pump! Anyone growing up in the 80’s had a pair or had a homie who made sure his shoes were pumped before he hit the Bball court after school! I use to swear my vertical went up by at least 2 inches wearing them joints! So I put this mix together to commemorate his career and put together some tracks that were out during his time. Kind of like a soundtrack to his life and times. Bet y’all didn’t know Nique was not selected to the top 50 greatest playes of all time.WTF? Somebody go wake Commissioner Stern up. Thanks to Mike at Packer shoes for making me part of this project. I feel like finding an ATL Hawks throwback jersey and tryin to slam on fools! Or an aggressive lay up”

Happy birthday to Russell Jones! Today we are giving you all a birthday gift in his honor, the O.D.B.E.P.. I purchased this EP from the old CDNow online music store back in 98/99 while I was in college. In hindsight I’m not sure how official this “EP” is, but being a Wu-fanatic I needed all things Wu related regardless of price.
The “EP” was attractive because it had “Don’t U Know, Pt. II,” so it was nothing for me to drop the $20-30 (I think) to get this joint. The $20-30 I paid for it is nothing compared to what it’s trying to be sold for now.
Tracks were ripped from the CD. Tracklist and links after the cut.

I first learned of R&B singer Jarell Perry through his collaborations with Nobody Famous. After meeting Jarell in person and seeing him perform live in LA, I’ve become a huge fan.
On My Own, set for viral release today, Friday November 13th, is a part of that story. “It’s really a picture of where I’ve been and where I’m going, musically speaking,” he says. The destination? A smart blend of inspirational R&B, piano-pop, and hip-hop swing. Enlisting the help of top indie producers like The Skiii Team, UniqueSound Ent., Nobody Famous, Mr. Clean, Mike Rizzy, and Vizion, Jarell is careful to mention that none of it would’ve been possible without gifted collaborators, true friends, and a growing band of international supporters. “I think the real moral of my story is that you’re never alone.”
