“Legato Block - All A Lounge Town” FREE DOWNLOAD

Legato Block - All A Lounge Town was released exactly one year ago, with only 230 pressed in individually numbered metalic tins. For the one year anniversary of its release, we deem it appropriate to make the album available for FREE DOWNLOAD. Click the picture above to treat yourself…

It should be noted that there are less than 20 physical copies available for purchase. So if you are feeling the tunes, and are into the movement, buy one before they’re gone for good! Rumor has it that another Legato Block project is in the works… keep your ears to outer space!

International Feature: POLAND

Hiphop duo Luksus + eNBe, hailing from Poland, have recently released their album “Spokojnie To Tylko Awaria” (2008). Markit is the only featured artist on the album, making an appearance on the third track: Chill. This appearance is a milestone for Markit’s musical experimentation, as he starts his verse rapping a few bars in Polish, before making the transition back to English. For a full tracklist + review of their album, check their album hosted on www.hiphop.pl

In the meantime, feel free to listen to Chill, and see how Markit gets down in two languages!
