Just a couple of days after the great Prodigy interview by Complex we have the Prodigy x Complex The Ellsworth Bumpy Johnson EP dropping today for free download (below). Make sure you check out the interview where he speaks about his prior drama with Nas, run-in with JayZ, capone snitching on Havoc's brother. He even talks about how he thought Biggie was corny and even spoke about how he originally thought Wu-Tang's Protect Your Neck was corny. He speaks about more in depth about these incidents/times in his new book, My Infamous Life: The Autobiography of Mobb Deep's Prodigy out today, so the interview & mixtape is definitely a good appetizer for the book and album in the near future.

SMOD

Malian Trio SMOD Features Frontman Sam, Son Of World Music
Stars Amadou & Mariam; The Group Fuses Hip Hop,
Folk And Blues Music With Traditional Malian Styles

This is a groundbreaking album produced by superstar Manu Chao. SMOD originally connected with Manu Chao through their frontman Sam, who is the son of world music stars Amadou & Mariam. Manu Chao had produced Amadou & Mariam’s breakthrough album, ‘Dimanche a Bamako,’ catapulting them into international icons.

SMOD’s Lead Single Is “Les Dirigeants Africains”; A Commentary On Rampant Corruption In African Politics

after listening to this album once I had to restart it again...I am one of Manu's biggest fans...I absolutely love Amadou & Miriam's album especially Diamanche a Bamako. I was in shock when I heard Damian Marley & Nas sampling of Sabali in their Distant Relatives project (also one of my favorite albums!!)....soo this feels like a concoction of elements all coming together...I'm really excited about this album...I think it will do really well.
