Got hipped to this from a cat named Will who sent us this press release - Thats what i like to see in the inbox something relevant, informative and good!
Here some info about the project and links to a dope playlist.
“I‘ve never dripped sweat onto the floors of The Ukie, made it out to “Making
Time,” got my fingers dusty at Armands, or stumbled across The Roots rockin’
the corner of 5th & Passyunk. I wasn’t there. So I live vicariously through
you lucky few that were there or are there now. In an effort to exorcise my
envy I started a project called Keys to the City focusing on Philly.
I enlisted the help of my two favorite Philly artists (the Roots and Diplo) and a website that basically taught me about hip-hop (okayplayer) to tell your story to the world wide interweb.”
Keys to the City Philly features:
* Exclusive interviews with the Roots and Diplo (featuring the premiere of a brand new Diplo track).
* ?uestlove came through with his quintessential playlist of songs recorded by Philadelphia natives or written and produced by notable Illadelph residents.
* An exclusive Mad Decent DJ mix (and a chance to win a Mad Decent prize pack).
* An essay on Philly Music by Okay Player.
* Photo slideshows from The Roots Picnic and Mad Decent Block Party.
* A Philly Music playlist by Jazmine Sullivan.
This is not a definitive picture of Philly music as I am not qualified to
present that. It’s an honest attempt at showing the unlucky who have never been what really goes on in your fair city. So I implore you; if you like what I’ve put together than show some love, write something and post a link. If you think I’m missing something (I am) than let me know, post a playlist
to the page, or send me an email. This is your music and your town, so let me hear your voice.
