Well, here we are…a mere twenty days from the release of the album; pending the date you actually read this. In which case, its up to you to do the math, and we’re a mere_____ day(s) from the release of the album. In any event, I can only imagine you’re waiting with bated breath, and the anticipation is a real dickwad. Thats how I feel too. But what exactly are you waiting for? Just another rap album? Just another combination of beats intermingled with some cute lil’ wordy words? Absolutely! This, similar to most rap albums, is just an imposition of the authors presumed life relevancy, masked behind a series of jovial rhythms and a mildly decent application of a number of literary devices. However, and I quote, *ahem* “This sh*t right here, nigga! This sh*t right here…” This sh*t right here is faaaantastic!
Some San Franciscans make a Mission burrito run as soon as they return to town. Rapper and producer Richie Cunning just takes a deep breath and says, “Oh, thank God.” He loves the city’s air enough to give it a shout-out on his debut LP, Night Train, a record with a Blue Note look and a Golden Age hip-hop feel. “There’s definitely a different smell in different parts of town, but there is always the air,” he explains. “In a literal sense, it’s not so much the smell as the texture, the moistness of it.”

I don’t remember if I ever put this up here, but the amount I care about that is dwindling even as I type. I did this track way back while recording at the Look Records Masterplex. As you may recall, I put down a couple of verses over some at-that-time-unreleased Madlib beats. One of them got sampled by Madlib for his Percee P remix project, while the other was thrown into the vaults, never to be heard from again. Until now…or until whatever earlier time I already played you this cut. But you get the idea. Enjoy the following one-verse non-song over a famous producer’s beat that may have since been used by someone for something else!
The homie Emdub from Thizzler On The Roof slid through the Cunning estate a few days after the Night Train release party and sat down with Richie Cunning for his Under The Bay series. Here’s part one, part two will be available on Wednesday. Big ups Emdub!
“Oooooh snap! Only one month before Neighborhood Kid is released, and Haji P is still dropping jams!?”
Pffft, yup! Gon’head and add this to your collection of songs I didnt know what to do with. Also, be advised, all the songs I’ve previously released under the title, Home Repair, WILL NOT BE ON NEIGHBORHOOD KID! *ahem* WILL NOT BE ON NEIGHBORHOOD KID!

The Rec-League hitmakers have done it again. QM was featured on Richie Cunning’s Late Night Special mixtape so it only seems fitting that Richie make an apearance (or two?) on QM’s upcoming album, Happy Hour. Lending a hand on production, Richie took this sample and flipped it on it’s ear for this joint. Other people have tried to use this sample before but we’re pretty sure it’s never sounded this good. Happy Hour is every party goers dream come true, with anthems produced by Grip Grand, Richie Cunning, Proe and more. Rec-League will not disappoint in 2010.
