Raw Fusion is back again with a killa line-up of Kissey Asplund, Eric Rico, Mad Mats and my homies, Ge-ology and Amir along with resident djs, OP and Scribe on the wheels. This party is one of my favorite parties in the city, the energy is real good and people really get down on the dancefloor.
Sarah and I have been giving love to the folks at Raw Fusion for a while. Check out our earlier features on here.

First came across the duo New Look on myspace a while back while working for TRACE Magazine. Then the homie Dhundee was screaming at me thru the phone saying I better get my ish straight and check out their music. Well, lucky for u, you can get a nice free sample with the free EP. HERE.
Last night I had the pleasure of spending the evening with the lovely and talented Stephanie Land. Sometimes in this world of blogs and twitter facebooked twisted cypher of myspace, you forget how dope a face to face is. She recently launched her new site! Check it out and be inspired.
There are obviously too many things to even mention going on in Miami right now, but if you go down, be sure to check out these two! Ill be in New York... at work... not on the beach sippin' beer with u.
Coming from Minneapolis myself, I am not only very proud to have come from such a great community of music and artists, but I am also very excited to watch as the leaders in the scene continue to crash and merge genres together, making a new sound. P.O.S. is by no means new to the scene, he has been doing his thing for years and getting his music across the planet. I randomly landed on his new video the other day and had to give him some love. Cant wait to see whats next.
New Orleans-based MC, Voice is a force to be reckoned with. She has been featured on the new Visioneers LP Produced by Marc Mac - 4hero (BBE Records). She's also featured on new Zero DB LP (Ninja Tune) kicking it on a jazzy vibe. On Gumbo, her first solo effort, Voice displays her lyrical versatility rocking her impeccable flow over 15 tracks produced by underground beatmakers Marc Mac (4hero), Moonstarr, Murr, and Arch Typ..
