It's been a long week. Listen, and exhale.

One day I will make a semi-megapost on hip-hop supergroup, Haiku D'Etat, The Freestyle Fellowship, and their associated acts. On this Sunday morning, however, I've just compiled a short playlist of groovy songs to help ease you into a relaxed, wake-and-bake state of mind: (Previously):

AyeM Ray-DIO - Sunshyne ~ Abstract Rude - The Solution feat. Slug & Brother Ali ~ Haiku D'Etat - Poetry Takeover ~ Abstract Rude - Yep ~ Haiku D'Etat - Los Dangerous ~ Haiku D'Etat - Wants vs. NEEDS ~ Abstract Rude & Tribe Unique - Coolin

Many of these links aren't available to me. Maybe it's because I'm in the UK?

Here's another track, that people not familiar with Haiku D'Etat might remember from the soundtrack of one of the Tony Hawk games: Non Compos Mentis.

"Their organization will collapse quick stylistic
The current so called aristocracy
Of the underground and mainstream have a vacuum
People were taken from home and culture"

A buddy turned me on to FF years ago, and while I only have "To Whom It May Concern" and I think an Aceyalone somethingorother, they are on my list. Didn't know about Haiku D'Etat! A++++ WILL LISTEN TODAY

I had a feeling that I would particularly love Haiku D'Etat because seriously, that name.

I was right. Thanks for this!

Here is a TREASURE TROVE of FF/Aceyalone/Project Blowed shit - playlist

This is the playlist from one of Noz's Red Bull Music Academy Radio "All The Raps" shows (live Fridays 10AM PST). Consistently delivers.
