Once 1/2 of Abysinnian Creole, one of Seattle’s most beloved and down duos alongside Gabriel Teodros, The lyrically extraterrestrial Khingz has been traversing up and down the left coast of North America making music and being rad. Lately, the one and only Black Han Solo has been working on a live band+emcee project called Hi-Life Soundsystem , with some representatives from Seattle based Godspeed -  album on the way.

As a prelude to the full course of the upcoming mixtape Khake and Khool Aid, Khingz blesses us with this summer mixtape Pho99, fresh and hot – add  lime,  plum sauce and Sriracha and your good to go, uyệt vời (great)!

I peeped this on Blind I a few days ago and been meaning to share it with y’all.  I guess by blog standards that means that this is kinda old news.  I don’t care, though.  It’s hot as shit outside, and you need some summertime tunes, hand picked by none other than Mick Boogie and DJ Jazzy Jeff, to cool you down.  

Presented by UNDRCRWN and Motivation Boutique, the Summertime Mixtape will quickly become your newest summer essential.  I expect to hear this at BBQs, beach parties, picnics, block parties, and from people’s open car windows all over the goddamn place for the rest of the summer.  If I don’t, I’ll be dissapointed in you.

Download the mix here, and peep the tracklist after the jump (duh). Read the rest of this entry »
