DON’T SLEEP: Akrobatik Benefit Party Tonight @ The Middle East in Cambridge, MA [EVENT]
One of Boston Hip Hop’s best & brightest is currently recovering from open heart surgery. Akrobatik has been one of the most consistent and recognizable emcees from Boston in the past 15 years. He’s built up a dedicated fan following stateside as well as abroad. He’s made classics singles and classic albums and now we all have an opportunity to help give back to a dude that has brought us all so much. I remember back when Akrobatik & Mr. Lif were pretty much opening every local show imaginable, tearing down every stage and showing the young cats what a live performance is supposed to look like.
Get your asses down to The Middle East in Cambridge to honor The Pride Of Codman Square and see one of the best show lineups you’ll ever see. Ak said he wasn’t about to take any losses and we’re damn sure not about to LET him. Always bet on Ak…

DON’T SLEEP: Jomac “Todays”, “Sunup” & “UpFromSleep” [INSTRUMENTALS]
One of my favorite up & coming producers in the game right now is Jomac. He’s appeared on The Scrunchface Show before and even been featured on Producers I Know in the past so there is a precedence for a Jomac PIK post. Over the past three weeks on his Soundcloud page, he’s dropped three jawns that you all should hear, “Todays”, “Sunup” & “UpFromSleep”. Here they are, enjoy:
One.
DON’T SLEEP: M Slago “M Slago Files” [NEW PIK MEMBER BANDCAMP PAGE]
M Slago has been on radar for a while. It all started when I was talking about up & coming producers on Twitter back in 2009 and @guerillamilk sent me a message saying I forgot about M Slago. I decided to look into who M Slago was I was impressed with what I heard. As time passed he sent me a folder of beats that ended up being featured on The Scrunchface Show at different intervals and he also produced the opus known as the “Rampage EP” which also ended up receiving frequent plays on the show.
When I was trying to determine who I should add to the squad there were certain beatmakers and producers that just stood out in my mind and M Slago is one of them. I think he has a bright future and judging by his body of work and his current trajectory, he’s only going to get better. Go check out his “M Slago Files” Bandcamp page and welcome him to Team PIK & Producers I Know.

The next video from J The S’s “The Sky Is Falling EP” is more Boston than a dude having a fistfight about the Red Sox with a Yankee fan while rockin’ Adidas, a B hat & a David Ortiz jersey on Landsdowne Street.

DON’T SLEEP: Trog’low “Mellow Feats EP” [INSTRUMENTAL PROJECT]
Trog’low’s “Mellow Feats EP” reminds me of the chilled out, loungey mushroom jazz type instrumental Trip Hoppy Ninja Tune/Jazz Fudge/Shadow Records music book store employees used to play in their stores circa 1996-2000. Back then the economy was great and these things called record stores & video stores existed. Check it out for yourself if you want some easy listening beats instead of getting the urge to headbutt a pitbull after hearing some ridiculously ill slap then getting pissed off you can’t find a pitbull to headbutt anywhere outside…
