I told y’all that I’m all about these SXSW recap clips. Chillin’ with the homies Y-O and Thurz in Austin was definitely one of my highlights, and as you can briefly see in the clip above, Theo also traveled down with ’em. Very dope to meet another one of the up and coming MC’s in the game.
Shout to DRG Films for producing all these dope U-N-I clips recently. Remember, A Love Supreme drops on the 31st!!!!
The homies Y-O and Thurzday came through Sound Session at the end of last year and it’s taken me a minute to post up the video of the full interview. We aired part of the audio a few weeks ago, but here’s the full thing. You can peep the clip above to hear them talk all about their upcoming Love Supreme project (dropping soon!), their possible beef with the Knux, the dreaded ‘hipster’ label, and much more.
If you want to check out the broadcast audio and hear it all more clearly, here’s the audio only:

Awww yeah, it’s finally here. With A Love Supreme dropping soon(er than you think), Thurzday and Y-O linked up with Mick Boogie, IllRoots, and 2DopeBoyz to whet your appetite with this insta-classic mixtape. Beats from Dibia$e, Ro Blvd, 6th Sense, Jaguar Skills, Cook Classics, and more, plus guest spots by Shawn Jackson, Evidence, Big Pooh, Tunji, Black Milk, Fashawn, Buff1, and more?

Chyea. For those missing my Wack Lyric of the Day posts, this is hotter than LA sunshine. Happy now? Don’t worry, WLotD will be back soon.
But nah, for real, this is heat. In case you can’t read above, the homies Thurz & Y-O linked up with Evidence, Big Pooh, Aloe Blacc, Fashawn, Mickey Factz, Theo, and Kes Kaos for the remix to their classic “Beautiful Day” cut. Get that:
U-N-I ft. various artists – “Beautiful Day (Remix)”
And a little Sound Session throwback in case you forgot:
New heat from Thurz & Y-O, off the Dub Frequency mixtape available for streaming here. These guys just make great tracks, time after time. Be on the lookout for the long awaited “SoulHop” video debuting soon on a huge network!
Here’s a dope little video of the homies Y-O, Thurz, and Swivll performing “Castlevania” from their Hip-Hop Official interview a little while back. I love that Y-O always breaks out that NES during this song. If you missed him doing just that at the Seattle DunkXchange a while back, the footage is up right here.
As I mentioned a few days ago in the post with U-N-I’s live performance of “Beautiful Day” on my radio show, I DJ’d for their set at the Seattle stop of the DunkXChange last Saturday (yes, that’s my ill Kanye t-shirt in the background). It took me a minute, but I got a video medley of joints from the performance up for y’all to check out.
Remember to set your YouTube accounts to play high quality videos. Click on “account”, then “video playback quality”, and then select “I have a fast connection. Always play higher-quality video when it’s available.” It makes a huge difference, especially with Flip Cam stuff. Unfortunately, if you embed high quality YouTube videos, you can’t fast forward them and there’s all sorts of extra html code. So if you want to peep the better quality, watch it at YouTube here.
In other U-N-I news, check them out in a new interview at Okayplayer and in the July issue of The Source (w/Game on the cover). Told you the homies were doing big things! Go befriend them on their MySpace.
More good looks for the homies Y-O and Thurzday, who are destined for big things. Here’s an interview they did as Hip-Hop Official’s “Artist of the Week” segment.
LOL @ the superhero pound. ya diiiiig?
