Sounds Of Flawda (Mixes)
Jul 31st
Just because I felt like it, here’s a couple of mixes that represent where my adopted home is at either club-wise or radio-wise (or both.) Both are a shade over 30 minutes long, clean for radio play, with a 2 minute instrumental fade at the end. Just call me Mr. Helpful-To-Radio-People.

*Click the front and back artwork for the big versions*
I’ve been working in the lab at a 2Pac-ish pace to get projects finished. Very unlike me, the king of procrastination, but I feel a change coming in the air, and I’m trying to push as much music out as possible before my time gets cut into again. (Warning! Work starts on the NEXT project tonight – some top secret ish with my man E&J)
Don’t forget to check out past editions of this series!

Mix CD: Elevator Music Volume 2
Jul 20th
Elevator Music Volume 2
mixed by DJ A to the L
Too many people were asking about a Volume 2 for me to put it on the backburner for too long. This one even has some words in it, though its still all about the instrumentals.
Shouts to all the artists who have music on this tape. Extra shout to my man Depakote for continually raising the bar on the production tip, and continually giving me new beats to run at the station(s).
(And for the record, just like Volume 1, I recorded this joint all in one take. Only additions after the mix were the elevator sounds at the front and back of the mix, and some volume normalization and compression to bring everything up to audio scratch.)
Speaking of Volume 1 – don’t forget about it either.

Jul 19th
Following a request during last week’s show for an all-female show, I got some little things in order, and ran for the full 2 hours, spinning nothing but female emcees in the mix.
Shouts to the ladies that I missed for one reason (not enough time to clean your music, Jane Doe, Apani B Fly, Gangsta Boo) or another (you broke my heart, Monie – but I still did use a nice pic of you for this post.)

Blazin’ 102.3 Audio 7/11/10
Jul 12th
After a short break for 4th of July-related drunken debauchery, we return to your riggedy raggedy rusty radio with the newest edition of Diggin’ In The Crates. Special shouts out to everyone who tunes into us every week in Tallahassee and beyond… everyone who hits us on twitter (@StessTheEmcee or @AtotheL)… everyone on Facebook and Myspace.
Also shouts to all the artists who continue to build with us by providing music, drops, interviews and all that cool stuff… this week we were laced with drops by 850′s own M Beezy, the honorable Count Bass D, and the majestic Faith Evans, who upset Stess a little by outing his side hustle – you’ll hear the full story at the beginning of Zone’s mix.
By the way – the picture at the top of this post isn’t the original pic I was going to use. (Hint – scroll down.)
