MySpace presents Chromeo Fancier Footwork East Coast tour starting Wednesday and making a stop here in Philly on Friday, October 3rd. Win tickets by emailing your name to 5151List@gmail.com with the subject “Fancy East Coast Footwork”. Winner picked! Thanks for playing.
Pick up their latest 2xCD Fancy Footwork: Deluxe Edition featuring their last album “Fancy Footwork”, 9 remixes, 5 videos and 4 greatest hits.
Email us to win a limited edition 7″ featuring the Hood Headlinaz and the Get Em Mamis the latest in the series from SoCo and The Fader. The Hood Headlinaz are part of the Paper Router Gangstaz or at least Paper Route Records. Either way, the PRGz have an upcoming release on Mad Decent records. Meanwhile, on the other side is the Get Em Mamis representing Bawlmore.
The record’s a-side is by Huntsville, Alabama’s Hood Headlinaz song Tip Down. Part of the Paper Route Recordz crew who were featured in FADER 51, Hood Headlinaz is a young group of do-it-yourself southern rappers. The song was produced in-house by Paper Route’s Mali Boi. The b-side is the Get ‘Em Mamis’ “They Jockin,’” which was produced for them by the duo Darkroom Productions (both Darkroom and the Get ‘Em Mamis have been featured in FADER). Another young group, the two women of Get ‘Em Mamis first found notoriety as part of the local soundtrack to The Wire. The sleeve’s cover art was created quite simply by artist sign painter Michael Genovese. Though he is both a painter and sculpter, Genovese has a side career as a sign painter, which he did here, simply painting a wall bodega-style with the songs and artists.
Email 5151List [at] gmail with the subject “So Faded Hood Mamis” and the name of the DJ’s responsible for Paper Route Gangstaz Fear and Loathing in Hunts Vegas. There will be consolation prizes, I have mad mixtapes. I think I have an AEIOU 2, Shake it to the Ground remixes and more!
Basically I get all these freakin mix tapes sent to me and shit and I listen to them at work. Then when this drawer gets full I pull everything out go down the street sell what I can and toss the rest and wait for the drawer to fill again. So I thought today fuck it might as well give some of this shit away. So lets dig deep and go into the drawer and find some shit. So send me an email if you want this fucking CD before I sell it.
First week lets do the Diplo and Tripledouble AEIOU 2 (in color) mix tape repress jump off from TTL. Crazy story about this mix tape right. It came out right as Favela on Blast and Florida but I never picked this one up. I wanted to buy the Hollertronix T-shirt but instead got Favela on Blast which was a horrible move since that shit is like all over the internet right. Whatevs.
So like when this tape first dropped in 2005 I went to this fund raiser for the Prometheus’s Radio Project in the basement of the church they rent out on 50th and Baltimore in West Philly. So I am supposed to DJ just to keep the mood so I am playing some straight underground hip hop heat. Tons of Pete Rock souled out shit, lots of Detroit shit with Dilla on the boards and then that down tempo heat. Then finally some one else is ready to DJ so for my last record I pull out the white label Diplo Rhythm record I had and threw it on. Then this dude over in the corner teaching kids about nutrition jumps up runs over and starts freaking dancing around, mind you there was no one dancing before him. He then turns to me and was like “I was just in Stockholm with Diplo playing this gig. Shit was insane.” Turns out Tony Tripledouble teaches kids nutrition in public schools with a grant from Penn and was at the event. He gave me a CDR of this mix that day, nice dude. I think he still runs Small Time Hustle and talks lots of shit up on Soul Travelers board.
So I didn’t think about this mix till like 2 years later I was driving with my boy Luke from Chicago to New Orleans all through the night right. So of course we leave late since Luke wants to go see Yo La Tango which is really out of control then with in the first hour of driving he says I am mad tired and need to go to bed. WTF right… So we ended up on route 66 forever and it was crazy to see the cotton on the side of the rode and shit like that. But for a while in the middle of the night we were both really tired so we were trading off sleeping an hour and driving an hour. So I go to bed and then a little bit later I get woken up by Luke straight freestlyin over some beats. When I mean freestlyin I mean dude is just going all over the place rapping about me sleeping and how the cars are driving past and its all off beat and crazy. So I sit up and am like what the fuck Luke, he doesn’t stop rappin and just starts to have a conversation with me rappin. It was totally annoying. Then I realize he is rapping along to AEIOU 2. It didn’t change how I felt about the situation.

Some of you loyal readers may remember when I used to do posts of 10 tracks at a time. It was like Chrismakwanakah etc all in one post. I stopped because it wasn’t regular and would wait to post until I had enough. Well, today is special. If you’re still reading this, I have Bonde Do Role “Sola O Frango” and A Trak - Dirty South Dance CD’s to give away. The first two people to email 5151List[at]gmail{dot}com with subject “Dirty South Role” with the answer to the following questions will receive both free: 1.)What bone did Marina break while on tour last year? 2.)What is the name of the label that A Trak started with Nick Catchdubs?
Nate Day sent me some brand new high quality tracks
