DJ K.O.- 'Til I Go ft. MadKem & Jered Sanders

Latest and last leak from DJ K.O. and his last EP from his slept on Living Out a State of Mind series (which has now reached Volume 12). The track features one of my favorite unheralded newcomers, MadKem, who has a great chemistry with KO. If you haven't heard "What We On" yet? WooOOoo! Slap yourself and peep it on the flip side, along with the "Til I Go."

Streams/Downloads on the flip side.

Blog Buzz '10 continues. In case you have missed the earlier Blog Buzz installments, it's basically where I post my favorite independent hip hop tracks that were posted around the blogosphere over the week (that I didn't post myself). Think of it as the Brita of blogs, filtering out the toxic mess. Below are some of the hottest tracks to be released this past week:

January 31st- February 7th
