After coming together for the collaborative underground release, “The Seed,” (MCs) Kahlee, Uptown Swuite and (Producer) Adikt 1 snatched up a raw 16 from one of the hottest MCs in Hip-Hop today. Double Barrel, Brooklyn Lyricist, Torae brings his aggressive style to this street hustle anthem, “When the Lights Go Down.” With some added flavor from DJ Packo on the cuts, this track boasts the after-dark workings of our city’s day to day from an angle that most may not see. “From the 9-5 to the blvd. servin’ customers,” Kahlee, Uptown Swuite & Adikt 1 bring you the first of many to come, as the collective work towards their full length record.
Snatched from 2DB. Check this track out!
Included are the clean (for all you radio DJs) & instrumental for anyone who wants to beast on this.

Our homie Uptown Swuite is blowin up the t-world with these promo tweets about his track with Kahlee and Torae. Check out his space for some heat, and check back for the track.
Me & Marvin is a project where Lee Bannon makes beats out of a bunch of Marvin Gaye Samples. Basically, Lee Bannon is a genius and highly overlooked. The beats are raw, the rhymes are raw, what more do you want? Watch and be amazed.

A word from Rhettmatic:
Peace Everyone, My good friend and producer extradinaire, Khrysis from the Justice League, and myself have done a mixtape project called "Khrysis On The Board With The Heat 2" over the summer (the first installment was done by Mick Boogie). Basically, it is a collection of all his production that he has done in the last year in a half. If you're not familar with Khrysis' work, he has done production for LIttle Brother, Sean Price, Heltah Skeltah, Evidence of Dilated Peoples (check out "The Layover"), & his own group The Away Team, just to name a few. Check out his creditentials: [http://www.myspace.com/khrysisbeats]. So think of this of a "Beat CD done in a mixtape format", freaked 'Beat Junkie Style' by yours truly. We orginally wanted to press this up, but unfortunately we never had a chance to, so we decided to leak it free to everyone for the Holidays as well as providing some material for people for the meantime while we both are working on our prospective projects. So please spread the word, share it with your peoples, post it up on your blogs, whatever you wanna do....we hope that you will enjoy this mix and we appreciate the love as well. If the links don't work, please copy and paste (btw, I'm not really internet savy so if anyone can show me how to post up links in here, that would be most appreciative.). Khrysis and myself will probably will work on another mix in the near future when he is ready to drop his solo debut album, but for the meantime...enjoy. Happy Holidays people...see you in 2009.
