Me and my boy Funk D hit this up yesterday at Summerstage in Central Park.
It was around 235 degrees out.
Mz Streamz, DJ Blaqstarr, Kid Cudi, A-Trak, Diplo and Santogold all for free.
Here is the majority of Kid Cudi’s performance, shit was dope.
I got a few minutes of Santogold I might throw up later if people want.

This is an illRoots exclusive.
We posted his Shoot Me Down remix last week, and now we have Let The Beat Build.
It is easily better than the original. Tell me I’m wrong.
Stay tuned.

Mickey Factz - Africa (Ft. D’Angelo) [The Leak #31]

Above is Mickey Factz performing live, as well as the latest edition of The Leak.
I recieved this bit of dopeness in the inbox from the man Mr. Factz:

As an Artist, not a Rapper, we’re obligated to express our opinions on different topics that affect us in some way shape or form. This song is no different. With the help of D’angelo, I bring the soul and love back to the Motherland. Gotta love the culture.
Before I drop the link, I want it to be known that Leak #32 will be decided by the fans. Please submit a concept via video or email to Leak32@gfcny.com and the best one will get translated thru music.

Also be sure to vote for Mickey here.
Look out for Part II of the movie after the jump.

So our friend and Shaolin’s own AC has some tricks up his sleeve.
Come Wednesday, he will be dropping 20 exclusive freestyles, one for each of the top 20 hip-hop blogs.
We are lucky enough to be on that list, so be sure to head to all of the blogs mentioned and scoop up all the tracks.
