T h u r s d a y , F e b r u a r y 1 8 , 2 0 1 0The other day a good friend of mine said "You still buy cds?" when I showed him my newest pick-ups. I wanted to reply with an emphatic YES, but that isn't the case much anymore. However, this past Tuesday saw the release of the Keith (hopefully highly) anticipated Freeway & Jake One album "The Stimulus Package" and a local PDX friends (Tope) newest concoction "Soul Music." I hadn't purchased a cd in almost 6 months I'd say, but without hesitation I hurried my money across the counter to get both of these in my possession.
It has come down to this, on the rare occasion I do buy cds, it's to support a local artist or something that has been cared for and thought has truly been injected into the process to create it. I am extremely happy with both cds and think you should consider picking them up too. The packaging is too nice on the Freeway & Jake One cd to not have two copies. I got a little giddy and opened mine up before taking a picture of it in plastic. It comes with a "blackcard" that gets you a free download of the Jake One instrumentals. Tope's cd is great and is truly some nice underground work. You'll find he produces a number of his own tracks as well! Links to where you can cop the cds are below.
