LMNO - OVERTIME [FREE LP]

The man with the endless workethic, LMNO of the Visionaries, who brought you 10 albums in 2010 & a banger of a follow-up with Born Again in 2011 presents OVERTIME, entirely produced by LD.

After his epic 2010 run, LMNO went right back to the studio with LD creating this 11 song testament to the duo's progression, chemistry and creativity. If you thought it couldn't get any better than Push That Work and P's & Q's, the saga continues as OVERTIME proves to be one of LMNO's greatest Lp's to date!

"Peace! Thank You for adding OVERTIME to your music library! We're giving you this gift guilt free, free from having to illegally download this Lp! A few weeks after the release of the 10 Pack, LD & I found ourselves recording OVERTIME... Again this free Lp is a way of saying "Thanks For All The Support Over The Years!" Peace & Blessings -James K LMNO

LMNO & Kyo Itachi - Born Again [LP]

As the year comes to an end I wanted to revisit an album that might have stayed under the radar but definitely should be on your iPod by now - LMNO & Kyo Itachi's BORN AGAIN LP.

Featuring a "who's who" of underground emcees from Montage One, Sapient & Visionary brothers KeyKool & Dannu (and more!), LMNO's follow up to his 10 albums in 2010 finds the rapper exploding with creativity and energy. Another certified classic in the hip-hop chronicles.

Driven by Life: Exclusive Interview w/ Dannu of The Visionaries

Dannu of the Visionaries has an interview over at The Hip Hop In Her. His debut album Virgo Summer is out now, go cop it!

Excerpt:
Dannu's debut solo album Virgo Summer (which dropped early this year) gave us the chance to experience a season of laid-back vibes with an intelligent and analytical yet straight-forward individual. Nevertheless, this poet's talent sure as hell ain't seasonal and has been keeping fans musically fulfilled for years. The Visionaries MC and co-founder provides TheHinH with an in-depth look at his journey through Hip hop and what continues to drive him.

Nug Magazine: What Is Hip Hop? “Access Hip Hop”

Nug Magazine has a dope article about our good friends over at Access Music in San Diego. If you're ever in the San Diego area, check out one of the best hip-hop shops on the West Coast!

Article excerpt:
I chose Access Hip Hop as my first feature in the series for having played an indispensable role in the progression of the hip hop scene in San Diego and California as a whole for well over 10 years. Located at 1537 Garnet Ave., in the center of Pacific Beach’s bustling shopping district, Access (as it’s often referred to) is unparalleled as a platform where music lovers can pick up releases from local and national artists. From Orko, Black Mikey, Atmosphere and Illogic, to Blame One, Gonjasufi, DJ Shadow and DJ Qbert, Access has you covered. Their shelves are simply stacked with sublime music. To put it in simple terms, they carry all of the hip hop that should be on the mainstream airwaves, but isn’t.
