Kids

Well I didn't mean for this to become an all rap blog but fuck it, shit happens. But anyway made it out to Berkeley today in search of kicks but wound up in the hat shop on Telegraph. Picked up a mixtape that caught my eye because the cover flipped the poster for the movie Kids. Which is a movie that i saw when i was waaaayyy too young and still kinda get weird about... all weirdness aside though i saw it was a Dj Eleven mix. Him and Matthew Africa did that incredible Best of Too $hort mix that was my summer soundtrack last year and probably will be this year too. But yeah it spotlights B-town duo The Cataracs, who you might know from " Blueberry Afghani," ("come and holler whatsup..." ) Shit is tight. I know a few free weekly papers out there have declared hyphy dead and all but this kinda shits on that notion. I mean its not all scrapers and slaps but it finds a very listen-to-able medium between hyphy and dance music. Plus any mix that includes "I'm a Drifter" and Kid Cudi will get bumped.



Plus who knew they were white kids? not me.
