Dudley Perkins aka Declaime: Holy Smokes

Dudley Perkins aka Declaime might be the most underrated emcee in our day and age. From his earlier works with Madlib to present day "G&D" collaboration with Georgia Anne Muldrow, Dudley has not stopped putting out quality music since day one.

This Saturday, August 1st, Dudley celebrates the release of his latest creation, Holy Smokes, with not one, but two shows.

Catch Dudley and Georgia for a free in-store at Fat Beats LA @ 7pm and then later the same night as Dudley hosts the monthly event "Boombox" with guest selector DJ Muggs.

Look Daggers: Prospector Photos

The Prospector was filled to the brim this past Thursday. Was it because this was the first Look Daggers show of the year? Was it because the Daggers were set to unveil some new material they've been rehearsing and recording all week? Was it because The Prospector holds less than 100 people?!? It's probably a combination of all three, but it's safe to say, 2Mex, Ikey and the rest of the Look Daggers performed one of their meanest sets in their history.





From rifling through hits like Call U Later & New Wave Spazout with razor sharp precision (and even adding new twists to the jams), unveiling unreleased, upcoming hits from 2Mex's solo album, and introducing the newest member of the Look Daggers family, incredible vocalist Mainey Wilson...the Look Daggers were definitely in the house.




Hey Ikey! Let's get some more shows cracking!!!

Look Daggers @ The Prospector: Thursday, July 23

Tomorrow! Thursday, July 23rd will mark the first official Look Daggers show of the 2009! Wow, it really has been a long time since I've seen the band together on stage. I know Ikey has been grinding for his other band Free Moral Agents and we all know 2Mex is the hardest working man in underground hip-hop. What a blessing it is for these two talented individuals to get together again to rock a show.

Kind of an old interview but I just found it today. This interview is from LMNO's Europe tour with Kev Brown. The interview goes into a few subjects and is pretty long and thorough, which I like. Enough with me talking, check it out here:
