Before his show at The Blind Pig last night, we had the chance to sit down with Big K.R.I.T. for a F.O.K.U.S. Radio interview. CiCi and myself talked with the MC/Producer about his favorite song on ReturnOf4Eva, his production influences and more.
I had to leave the Pig early to be on air, but from what I heard K.R.I.T. and the rest of the acts tore it down. If you haven’t heard ReturnOf4Eva yet, do yourself a favor and download it for free HERE. By far one of the most inspiring, well rounded projects I’ve heard in a while. Much love to K.R.I.T. and Def Jam!
On Sunday’s F.O.K.U.S. Radio we played tracks from Treats Volume 1 and talked with Suai about her guest spots on For The City and Whatever I Do.
We also got a special announcement from Suai about her upcoming summer plans… Some cool things on deck for all you Suai fans! Hit the soundcloud for everything:

February 15th, 2011 is the day Saigon fans have been waiting for. Saigiddy’s long awaited debut album, The Greatest Story Never Told, dropped today and I was lucky enough to get Sai on the phone for a F.O.K.U.S. Radio interview.
We touched on everything from his collaborations with Mark Ronson and The Alchemist, his thoughts on The Return Of The Yardfather, reactions to TGSNT, and his relationship with Cornel West.

On January 16th, we got the chance to sit down with Blue Raspberry for a F.O.K.U.S. Radio interview session. You may know Blue from her contributions to countless Wu-Tang classics, such as Heaven and Hell, Release Your Delf, and Glaciers Of Ice.
We talked with Blue about her beginnings with Wu, losing her album in the flood of RZA’s studio, her new mixtape with Ron G, working with Nick Speed, reuniting to perform “Rainy Dayz” with Rae and Ghost, her new musical direction and much more. Take a listen below for some insight into the world of Blue Ras:

Part 3 features a Gameboi verse produced by Nameless, followed by Wimpy and J-Roc of Clear Soul Forces and Nick Speed over a Ken Villain beat.
In Part 1 of F.O.K.U.S. Radio’s Holiday Special you heard Man In Charge and Gameboi rhyming over a Nameless beat.
Next up we have Gameboi and J.A.E. on a Ken Villain production… so soulful man!

On December 19th, F.O.K.U.S. Radio had its first ever Holiday Special. Lots of Egg Nog, Santa hats and some of Michigan’s illest producers and MCs.
Instead of rhyming over industry beats, we showcased original production by the likes of Nameless, Ken Villain, Ilajide and Nick Speed.
First up to bat was Man In Charge and Gameboi over a Nameless production. Check out the footage + pics below, and look out for more clips coming soon!
