Hey, you... Keep Scheming!

Posted by Colin McDowell on Sunday, October 23, 2011, In : Music They Make 
Another hit from the homeboys, "Keep Scheming" really epitomizes the collaborative efforts put forth by Dozilla.  Having released their debut EP, The Perfect Strangers, in September; the duo, consisting of Norfolk sound artists Cordova and Skratch Zilla, did not hesitate to get back in the booth for some more track work (which is great for us listeners).  Over the past year or so that I've known these guys, I have seen nothing but growth and undying chemistry... and this song annunciates just...

Blu is about to release his first major album (if issues with Warner Bros. are resolved), No York!, in a couple of days... so, while we're waiting, he decided to [hand out free copies at Rock the Bells and] stream the entire album so that we can all indulge for free.  The Find Magazine and I had a brief FB comment exchange about our thoughts on the album...

Groove to The Homewood Sessions Vol. 1

Posted by Colin McDowell on Saturday, July 16, 2011, In : Music They Make
