FOOTWORKIN #1 by FOOTWORKIN

Hey guys, just wanted to spread the word on a sick new monthly going down in Montreal. The night’s called Footworkin’ and its brought to you by Markus G of LOL Boys and Laurent Bassols aka Azamat B. The night has a really fun and forward vision that I’m definitely co-signing with.

In there own words, “hip hop. house. global ghetto music. trap. swag. juke. bass music. whatever man…… fuck…..
A musical journey bringing you top cuts from the favelas of Brazil to the warehouses of London with a quick stop in Detroit & Chicago. A new monthly at Blizzarts. Some serious jetset shit.”

If your wondering what this could possibly sound like, check out the mixtape posted above for a little sonic preview of things to come. Tracklist after the jump. Info on the flyer above.

Breakin’ Dawn Tour featuring Brother Ali, Fashawn, and BK-One in Montreal.
Sunday, April 11th at Foufounes Electriques.*

Minneapolis-bred MC and Rhymesayers representative *Brother Ali* will be performing in Montreal alongside California’s own *Fashawn* and labelmate BK-One at Foufounes Electriques on Sunday April 11th as part of the *Breakin’ Dawn Tour*.

Brother Ali is touring North America with a relentless drive that has established him as one of the most electrifying live hip hop acts in the world. His baritone voice, flawless delivery, and profound subject matter hits a strong note with fans that appreciate music that is thought-provoking and uplifting at the same time. A true champion of the people, Ali never forgets anybody in his rhymes- man, woman, or child- as heard on the recent cuts “House Keys”, “Games”, or “You Say (Puppy Love).”

He’ll be joined by Fresno, California’s youngest and mightiest voice Fashawn. The up-and-coming MC has been making a lot noise in the rap game since the release of the mixtape “The Antidote” entirely produced by
heavyweight The Alchemist and his celebrated first LP “Boy Meets World,” which made its way on everyone’s top 10 hip hop albums of the year list. He was recently announced on XXL Magazine’s Freshmen 2010 list.

The trio consists of world champion turntablist and certified DJ Jr-Flo (Eh! Team), the ever soulful Matisse on keys and Tune on drums. URB Magazine recently ranked Keys N’ Krates in their prestigious NEXT100 musicians of the year, and their mini-documentary on the group (below) explains why KNK’s live remix is something you have to see to believe.

Debated posting this just because the video footage is poorly shot (our camera man got too wasted) but people have told me they found it entertaining just cause of how wasted everybody is. Enjoy!
