A.R.M. ft. Tumi "Get Proud"

A.R.M. ft. Tumi "Get Proud": If I had only heard some shit like this when I was in high school, I might not be where I am today. Not that I don’t want where I’m at right now, trust, but the depression I had then drove me to start writing… you get me? Anyways, those A.R.M. rebels are going to be calling it quits. Forrealsies. A.R.M. consists of producer Budo, M.anifest and the artist formerly known as Krukid. Krukid is now known as Ruyonga, a man who’s in a new space spiritually, and is working on faith-based gospel music now. Gotta be proud of him for that, right? These three completed their album, Uprising, a bit ago, and it’s set to drop last quarter 2011 (after Budo’s Rhymesayers project and M.anifest’s solo project drops), and they plan on leaking more material before it’s out. Get proud for what you do, be proud that A.R.M. had their time, and be prepared for all of their forthcoming bits.

A.R.M. "As We Enter (Remix)"

A.R.M. "As We Enter (Remix)": I didn't fuck with "As We Enter" from Nas & Damian Marley when I first heard it, but after giving Distant Relatives a number of spins, I get it. One of my favorite albums of the year so far. Has some stumbles, but its good. Anyways, A.R.M. have flipped this track, dipped their own spin on it, and it came out hot. If you're still sleepin', grab Two Africans And A Jew EP Vol. 1.

Krukid "U.G. Chillin'"

Krukid "U.G. Chillin'": A.R.M.'s Krukid goes in over one of my least-favorite Wale tracks. Watch out for A.R.M.'s Two Africans and a Jew Vol. 1, which is dropping digitally and in limited physical quantities on May 11th; if you're in Minnesota on May 30th, they're also playing at Soundset.

A.R.M. ft. Slug "Fear of The Mundane"

A.R.M. ft. Slug "Fear of The Mundane": A.R.M. is dumb busy; the "Fear of The Mundane" single is available on iTunes right now. This cut is taken from the Two Africans And A Jew EP, which is due out at the end of March. That EP is a prelude to their full length project, Uprising, which features cats like Brother Ali and Tumi. #phew. Anyways, everyone fears being mundane and monotonous. I know I do. Use this as a precautionary track, though. Stack bread and get some sun on your face.

A.R.M. "Slow Your Roll"

A.R.M. "Slow Your Roll" (prod. by O-D): For those of you who are wondering how the Ugandan Krukid and the Ghanese M.anifest sounded when they first met, "Slow Your Roll" is what you need. I love hearing artists' jumping off points, and now to have heard where they ended up... charting growth FTW.

A.R.M. ft. Supastition "I Shine": How dope is their album that this Kam Moye-assisted banger didn't make it?! Their Brother Ali-featured track "Heaven Only Knows" will be the first official video release, taken from their uprising album. Peace to M.anifest.
