SUCKS. Didn’t think it was true when I first heard, it happened so suddenly. FatBeats is legendary and gave everyone something they were never able to get anywhere else…we can’t lose gems like that! Their in-stores were the shit because you really got to interact with everyone there on a real level…and these virtual ustream sessions and shows just don’t compare. Good hip hop outlets are pretty nonexistent now–how do we revive them? Is it as simple as buying some vinyl or a couple CDs?
But on the bright side, they’re giving everyone an opportunity to perform there one last time so holler @ them if you do that kind of thing.

In Search of Stoney Jackson unfolds over sixteen tracks and is a brisk, exciting hip hop record. Krondon and Phil The Agony supply the majority of the vocals with the third SAS member Mitchy Slick; guest appearances include Talib Kweli, Guilty Simpson, Little Brother’s Phonte, Planet Asia and a host of underground Los Angeles’s emerging rap talent.In Search of Stoney Jackson represents Madlib’s return to the hip-hop fold and sets the scene for the OJ Simpson collaboration he’s finishing with Guilty Simpson.
The album drops: 1/27
