Fresh Piano Lessons: Colin Munroe

I first heard this at about 3:30am on the MTVU Channel and I was tired delirious and hungry while finishing up renderings for school, and my first impression was, who is this with the robotic voice and why is this beat so bangin? Well because it's produced by Dillatroit's Black Milk, and the soul comes from Canadian native Colin Munroe. He's got a dope version of Kanye's 'Flashing Lights' and the rest of his mixtape is pretty solid w/ appearances from Skyzoo, Wale, and Saukrates. Overall he's got a pretty overall solid soul vibe thats subtle and carries on his own despite all the cameos. Im convinced.

FRESH Movement: PAC Generations spotted at CSULB PCN 2009

PAC GENERATIONS - 14th Year Anniversary (1995-2009) CSULB PCN from thefreshreport on Vimeo.

14 Years has passed since PAC Modern was first created in 1995. Modern made their initial debut to the world during CSULB PAC's PCN preshow. This performance brings back the talents of many old members of PAC Modern ranging from the years 1995-2008. Many of these dancers are still very active in today's dance circuit, but they all still remember and pay homage to the roots built in the LBC!

The LXD project was brought to my attention by Bboy Venum of the Groovaloos. This new featured online dance battle project will display the raw talents of many of the best dancers in the industry.

The PAC Modern family represents in the Bay and gets 2nd Place at Battlefest 360 this past weekend. The thing that I think is pretty crazy about this competition is that you have to please the audience from all angles, hence the 360 degree name. PAC Modern tweeked their routine since VIBE and definitely upgraded. Dope stuff!

Look out for the return of PAC Generations at CSULB PAC's Pilipino Culture Night April 17, 2009.
