Haaa, word to the old St. Ides commercials. Be on the lookout for Keelay & Zaire’s album, Ridin’ High, dropping on February 24th on Myx Music. K&Z are some of the illest producers out right now and the guest list is bananas: Phonte, Tash, Blu, Tunji, Cali Agents, Supastition, Darien Brockington, Fortilive, and more. Chyea.
If you’ve been sleeping lately, Keelay & Zaire are an incredible production duo that have been doing their thing for a minute now. They’re about to drop their debut full length album, Ridin’ High, at the start of next year and people are finally starting to catch on.
Here’s the video for their current single, “The Times,” featuring Blu, Fortilive, and Nino Moschella. If you’ve been listening to Sound Session, you’ve heard this one and the b-side, “Addicts For Real,” with the homey Tunji. It’s been a long week, so my memory is failing on me, but I thiiiiiiink I remember hearing that there will be a video coming for that joint as well. Do yourself a favor and get familiar with these dudes. Shout to Karim and the whole Myx Music family too. Big things in ’09!
I tried to put y’all up on Fortilive damn near 2 years ago when I put “Stereotypes” on my last mixtape, but now Mush, Slo-Mo, and Illmind are really starting to make their push. In case you still aren’t familiar, peep the video above for a nice introduction to the crew. Be on the lookout for their upcoming mixtape and album, both of which will be fire. Stay up to date on their MySpace page here.
