Here comes the next Keelay & Zaire masterpiece, mixing jazzy keys, synths and samples to create this fine soundscape. Mario Dones also adds his two cents on this celebratory track, giving you that positive vibe you need on this hump of a day. I will also urge you once again to go out and cop Kee & Zee’s latest LP, Ridin High, if you haven’t already. Some of the freshest hip-hop to grace 2009 on that record, perfect for heading into the hot summer months. Check it and let us know what you think!

A little late on posting this, but it needed to be done. Keelay & Zaire are the homies and they just put out their stellar Ridin High LP. They already leaked “The Times” and today they come with their second single, “Alright With Me” featuring DMinor & Phonte of Little Brother. This has a real smooth, laidback west coast vibe; a prime example of what you can find on the rest of the album. Also peep the Ridin High Album Sampler. Check it out and as always let us know what you think!

The Redeye: TAIS In SXSW

tais copy The Redeye: TAIS In SXSWSince the Potholes crew was unable to attend the coveted SXSW this year, we decided to bring you the action from the eyes of the artist. TAIS brings us our first wrap-up journal of the festival with a day-by-day breakdown and some exclusive pictures. Check it out and also be on the lookout for TAIS to make quite a splash in the music scene in 2009 on Potholes In My Blog!

Check out the preview and hit the skip for the full piece from TAIS…

First off, my main objective in going to SXSW was to sit back and see what people find so intriguing about the place. Honestly, I didn’t have any huge showcases to rock, or any press ops to sit through. But, one thing I did have out there was FAMILY. And with family around you, everything else falls in place. The Park (one of the DOPEST bands in America) told me all I had to do is come out, and they would take care of the rest. They are on tour right now backing up “The Brits” aka Miss Alice Russell (If you don’t know about her, smack yourself now) as well as doing two live sets with Keelay, Zaire, and the MYX Music Label family. All together, The Park had 7 shows at SXSW, and invited me to tag along. Below lie SOME of the far from normal adventures I embarked on at the South By Southwest Music Conference.

The tape features label members and some other special guests including; Illmind, Keelay & Zaire, Supastition, Emilio Rojas, Fortilive and much more. The new label put out their first release last week with Keelay & Zaire’s Ridin High and has a very promising future. Be on the lookout for more music from the homies at MYX in the near future!
