Now that Adam is dead, (and, by now, we all know how) 88-Keys is hitting us with some new music. Here's a new track entitled "Baggage Claim" produced by Needlz. I've never watched an episode of Lost but apparently 88 is a big fan, so here's his rundown.
In 88-Keys' latest video he's stuck in the worst possible zone you can be in... "The Friends Zone." Above, watch his new video featuring Shitake Monkey. Check the cameos in the vid from Izza Kizza and Tanya Morgan. Yoram Benz is responsible for the dope visuals (as always). The Death of Adam is in stores now, via Decon.
88-Keys was also on hand at Sneaker Pimps in L.A. to perform for the crowd. In this vimby clip watch as 88 kicks it with his boy Evidence and then runs through song after song off of his album, The Death of Adam.
Chip The Ripper is teaming up with Mick Boogie to put out his next mixtape, The Cleveland Show. No release date on the tape yet, but here is a leak entitled "No, I Said I LIKED You" produced by 88-Keys. I'm sure more than a few of you fellas can relate to this situation. Chip does his thing, but 88 really laced him something serious with this beat.
