the metal against metal grinding of a moodswing in action.
this is another artist mixtape i just did with 1773 (Wisdm One, Just J & Mrl One). it's hosted by Othello of Lightheaded (not only is dude dope, he's hilarious!!). you can holler at the guys from 1773 if you want one of these, as i only have a few!
Download the mixtape i did with my homey Ezekiel38 of Vertual Vertigo HERE. He is a broke ass rapper, and a family man, walking the path to make the dream come true. He is giving away the mixtape for FREE, but you can donate to him on his MySpace page via PayPal HERE. He also has physical copies available if you holler at him.
this is the cover for my First Anniversary at OHM mixtape. Ezekiel38 did it. i will put up a link for folks to buy it, if they wish, in a few days. the second anniversary mixtape will be out in may, and will probably be up for free download for awhile!
A Disco Dance for Wall Flowers is a mix of disco inspired tunes i.e. new disco, joints that sample disco, and some mash-ups, too.

"As the sun pierces the constant winter grey & the snow starts to melt our man ITCHIE FINGERS turns out this mix cd of all that is bright & sunny in house." -groove distribution
itch13 aka itchie fingers aka resident itchard mixin aka "the prettiest dj in the city" (i didn't say it, but i will humbly accept it... i can't be faded when it come to humility!)
i'm a dj, an mc, and a producer. the first and second tracks are examples of my production. the third selection demonstrates some of what i do as an mc (shouts to maker for the beat for "sun in the night" and see more perspective for recording and engineering). the fourth joint is a funky ass remix i did of Lupe Fiasco's "I Gotcha". feel free to download them and share them with your friends. :D
as a dj, you can check me out at OHM, 1958 W, North Avenue, above Tavern and Absinthe, upstairs, every Saturday, alongside residents Scream, Sye Young, and Eddie V,and various guests including Trilogy, AMPM, NewLife, Sabado, Shon Dervis, Skor, Boy Wonder, and Marco Morales, to name a few. you can also check me at Super Heroes of Sound which is ALIVE HIP HOP performance series me and my homies Aquil, Demented, Rasheed, Insight, and Marion curate, organize, and promote. check out the Super Heroes of Sound MySpace page for upcoming shows, photos, and songs from performers in upcoming shows... always third thursdays at Funky Buddha, and sometimes at Elastic. you can catch me at various other spots around chicago sporadically. i'm down with a dj crew called the play cousins (aquil, two1, sum guy, and me). i'm the official dj of young chicago authors (yca). i also spin for FM Supreme, Jyroscope, idris goodwin, kevin coval, a to see, see more perspective, il. subliminal, dove rock, lamon, and iron vagina crew (yes, that crew is made up of mostly dudes). i play a wide range of music, including hip hop, house, rock, reggae, disco, funk, soul, pop, broken beat, drum n bass, mashups and whatever else might be super funky... or beautiful... with a hip hop style (my foundation)... mostly things i enjoy and want to share with the world. music that moves me, and i hope will move you, too. but i'm not afraid of the top 40 neither.
i am one of the hip hop buyers at a wonderful record store called gramaphone, 2843 n. clark, 773.472.3683. i specialize in buying independent hip hop for the store. if you have a completed project that you would like to have in our store hit me up, i'd be happy to stock it. hook me up with it, too! i'll play it if i like it! i listen to everything i get my hands on at least once. i'm there monday and friday evenings, and tuesday during the day. BELIEVE IN VINYL! MP3s are cool. but nothing beats touching the music.
on the Fourth of July, i will be playing at a huge party at the Metro/Smart Bar alongside DJs Boolumaster and Lil Jon. peep me at Smart Bar from midnight - 1:30!
this is during the day on July 4 @ Schubas!
this is July 17 @ Black Gate Sessions w/ the homies 1773, and Contriband's first show back from hiatus! and SoulStice (who is incredible!)
Volta Masters featuring 1773 (and me on the cuts!).
so, ok, i'm slow and hadn't gotten around to hearing the "everything will be ok" cd til recently. HEAVY ROTATION!!! I'm lovin, and it was soooo what I needed at the right time. I have been lookin ALL ova this myspace mechanism to find a particular song that I want to add to my page, but of course, myspace is limited and of course I cannot find :( you wouldn't be able to post a song I love from your cd on your page so a sista like me can steal it could you would you?? In case you can it's #5..the song is "fall"
Great compilation, so glad I was betta late than neva ;)
Yo- That 'Everything Will Get Better' mix is so smooth, so nice, so perfect for late nite painting sessions. And those Hip-Hop beats are bumpin too. keep cool. d
