It's Friday night, and I feel all right

... the party's here on the West Side! Montell Jordan throwback for you. Hello, everyone! Tiffology here. I hope you're doing well on this cool Friday night. Being that I live in Arizona (Glendale area), I am so glad that the summer heat warnings are gone and that our nights breezy once again. It's the best weather right now. Clear skies, low 60s, good vibes... yeahhhh. Anyway, I have several things to talk about and catch you up on.

POETIC DEATH: For all of you wanting to be apart of Poe's army--the one where you can represent his music on your gear--you're in luck! He just received his order of black "VONPOEVII" beanies today, and they are now available for purchase. Here's a picture of Poetic Death wearing one. They are available on his Bandcamp page for $25--just go to any album and buy it there (you'll receive a free digital download of the album of choice). There was also talk that he may be creating a style of masks (similar to the one he wears in his videos) for you all to rock. He'll be the (Guy Fawkes masked) V of hip hop. V for VonPoe.

BONNIE BLUE: Next week, three OgT members will be dropping a brand new track called "Good Luck." Production by Joogy Jugg, featuring Papa J and Bonnie Blue. Stay tuned via any of their social pages for that update! Anybody else excited for all the new Bonnie Blue material coming out soon?! Her collaborative album, Black Eye Blue, with Razor and Rics Rumble (the trio are then called the Bushwall Junkies) is dropping in less than 2 weeks; and her debut solo EP, All Things Considered, is also on its way. Hell yeah!

JASSON C: Earlier today, Jasson made a Facebook post regarding new music. If you get his "Like" count up by 10, before 12AM PST on Saturday, he'll drop a brand new song. So, if you want that to happen sooner than later, be sure to share some of his music with your friends (such as his Waiting Room album, because it's so good).

FACES: Producer Faces has been sliding a few new beats across the Soundcloud table that I think you should check out. Bobby already mentioned "One Wish" in his last post, but now there are two more. He cites Scruffnuk Dust as inspiration for "Dreams/Nightmares." The dream soundscape occupies two-thirds of the beat with choppy soul vocals, playful, melodic piano, and soft-sounding shakers; it closes with a spacey, spooky beat. Lastly, there's "Leaving," which dropped earlier in the day. The two are fitting for this time of night for me. Smooth, atmospheric beats for you to kick up your feet and relax your mind to.

RUMAN: Ruman is still pushing his 6-track beat tape, called Bright Side, that he released on September 1st. The title proves to be an accurate description due to its head-nodding, experimental, and downtempo vibes. Splashed with synths, rapid hi-hats, chopped samples, slow-rolling snares, and light percussion. Real smooth stuff. If you have yet to take a listen to the project, download it for free at DatPiff.

RELLIM: On October 15th, Rellim released an instrumental project called Rellim's Throw Aways Vol. 1. It's comprised of 7 beats that he made a while ago, and he's released it as a free digital download (of course, you can donate with the pay-what-you-want price). If you're new to this guy like I am, this is a good starting point. You can also take a step backwards into his August-released project, Welcome To Waveland, or any other project he has available on his Bandcamp page. Either way, put yourself onto this guy.

FEGGY MIN: Last, but not least, the visual artist of the bunch is getting ready to release her newest collection, Feggymin9889. She posted a sneak peek photo--modeled by Feggy and Sara Fleur--as well as a few other designs from the collection. Check 'em out! Also, on October 26th, Feggy will have her own "BIG" booth in a Zurich-based store, where she'll show and sell her new collection and prints. Free food, free drinks, and awesome clothing. More information can be found at the Facebook Event.
