Sam Sparro. He’s kinda ridiculous in a kinda good way but I think this song and video are both amazing.
People keep asking me what I wanna do for my birthday
So today I finally said, “Imma change the world on my birthday.”
They said, “how you gonna do that?”
I said, “Imma turn my phone off and watch things fall apart in hip hop music. You’re all welcome.”
Thanks for the advice Wale. LOL

All I gotta say is wow. Lots of percussion. Everyone sounded amazing. I loved the outfits. Dave’s reaction. Everyone rhyming along with Wale’s Olsen twin line. Classic.
Camp Lo is one of my favorite groups. When Wale and I started working together and we found out we shared a mutual love over Camp Lo, we knew everything would fall into place. Well, for all you Camp Lo fans out there…today is a good day.
Today, HipHopDX reportedly learned from a SRC executive that the label has also signed another ’90s Hip Hop outfit – Camp Lo.
The Bronx-born duo of Sonny Cheeba and Geechi Suede has been releasing records since 1996’s Uptown Saturday Night on the now-defunct Profile Records. The duo scored mainstream success in the form of the single “Luchini.” With a unique blend of slang vocals, ’70s references and production from Ski Beatz of Reasonable Doubt fame, Camp Lo would reach their pinnacle early, as Profile merged to Arista Records, where Camp Lo later said they were asked to compromise their art.
2002’s Let’s Do It Again and last year’s Black Hollywood have followed on an independent level, neither able to register a commercial single or mainstream presence. Reportedly from the help of Mister Cee of Notorious B.I.G., Big Daddy Kane and Hot 97 fame, Camp Lo was taken to SRC/Universal Records and changed their name to The Lo, marking their first time on a major label since Arista eight years ago.
The duo is presently recording a yet-untitled album. They have premiered their first single, “Lumdi,” [click to listen] incorporating elements of the hit “Mickey’s Monkey” by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles. I’m not really feeling the new single, but let’s see what they do.
Here is one of my favorite Camp Lo tracks.

Drake’s manager hit me up today about a Wale collabo. I’d heard of him before but had never HEARD him. I checked out the music. I’m definitely feeling it. I just downloaded the mixtape so maybe you can get a head start and download it too.
Amazing cover for a mixtape too. Looks like a J. Crew catalog picture. I’m all about non-cliche mixtape covers.
