With so much poppin off for CMJ, even the most discerning music snob can get a case of the “fuck thats” and choose to skip the Marathon all together. I mean, there are just too many shows and to be honest too many bands that suck. But there is also some really dope shit going on this week too. Case in point, the homie showcase tomorrow night at Southpaw. Frank151’s got equal parts classics and new skool with everyone from Grand Puba to Trouble Andrew. A special heads up to HighSnob readers: Redman and Spank Rock are gonna be there too. Oh and did I mention $1 Colt 45? Hells yeah Billy D! Hit up events@frank151.com to RSVP and say Timbo Baggins sent ya and you are all good for VIP aight? Full info after the jump.

It happens again and again. So I’m at the Red and Meth album release party at the adidas Originals store the other night and I see this cat with what looks to be a mini beer cooler with the Brasilian flag on it. Pretty nifty, I thought, I gotta get me one of those, so I rolled up to homie to see where he got it. Turns out its not a beer cooler, which woulda been hella cool, but rather its a mini-tote filled with mixtapes and the dude is a cat by the name of DJ Flo who’s there with his partner Jonesy. Furthermore, they just got back from a month long string of gigs in Rio and are homies with all my homies down there. Caralho Velho! You gotta love this shit. To cap it all off, they gave me the download info for their latest mix from Switzerland, Swiss Radio Takeover. you can grab it for free here. Also check out their blog from Brasil here. Thanks to Noobs for the pic. É Noi$$$!
