-59th & Easy Street-

Every track is a daydream. Sometimes I'm in a high-speed chase... sometimes I just crossed the tracks into wrong part of town... and there's even those times I just feel like stylin' on somebody. Either way, I'm never too far from easy street... 59th & Easy Street that is. This is a blaxploitation mix with some heavy De Wolfe influence. Burn it and put this in. Guaranteed heavy rotation! Who doesn't wanna be in their own movie? I think "Sidewalks of the City" would be most appropriate for a classic blaxploitation movie. When I hear it I vision all sorts of pimps, junkies, hoes, decimated strips, and cars. Sure, that sounds stereotypical, but there's no denying it.

-For Mackish Affairs Only-

This was my first library compilation from back in '07. I didn't have much at the time, but it was meant to be the best of what I had. As I continued to listen and explore, I found much much better music. I was editing and re-working tracks daily. I thought surely I couldn't do better than this one. Well as it turns out, Volume 1: For Mackish Affairs Only is the first of five and perhaps many more compilations. And for you "smokers" out there, I'm told that is good music to smoke by.

For Mackish Affairs Only!
