CEL-EL @ The Neutral Zone Benefit Concert, ALL AGES, FRIDAY, May 29th!!

If you've been to this site before, you might have heard of Celsius Electronics. What you might not know is that Mike "Man In Charge" Hyter and Carlos "L05" Garcia of CEL-EL both work at the Neutral Zone Teen Center in Ann Arbor, MI (in fact that's where CEL-EL was born!).

In an effort to raise funds for the Neutral Zone music programs, Celsius Electronics, along with Chris Bathgate and Gunday Monday, are playing an ALL AGES early show at the Blind Pig THIS FRIDAY, May 29th.

If you're not familiar with the Neutral Zone, it is a diverse, youth-driven teen center dedicated to promoting personal growth through artistic expression, community leadership, and the exchange of ideas. Help the Neutral Zone's music programs! Budgets and funding are tight, but we are still determined to keep the space engaging and inviting. Come watch 4 of the Neutral Zone staff perform with their respective band mates.

I had the opportunity to work on a beat for the ever-talented and inspiring Tasherre D'Enajetic, who is nearing completion of his P52 project (he has been releasing a track for every week in the year)!

He just released our collabo, "Let's", Challenge #41 in his epic journey. Please check it out, as well as the rest of the P52 project! Support quality music!

Tree City EXCLUSIVE, feat. on "Midwest Broadcast Presents Flyover Land, Vol. 1"

[via Midwest Broadcast]

It's been a long time coming, but Flyover Land, Vol. 1 is finally available for free download. I won't weigh this post download with excessive anecdotes or sentimental thank yous — I can save those for later. However, I will say that I think this is a legitimately outstanding project, and I'm confident that you will enjoy the music onFlyover Land, Vol. 1 as much as I do. Some of the most talented emcees and producers from the Midwest have contributed songs for this mixtape, most of which are entirely exclusive to this project and have not been heard before until today.

Furthermore, if you take any message from this release, I hope that you realize that Midwest Broadcast is for the people. Excluding the intro track, this mixtape features no shout outs for this site. I hate it as much as anyone when a mixtape's flow and rhythm is absolutely ruined by overbearing DJ drops — I did not want that for Flyover Land, Vol. 1. Just sixteen consecutive tracks of uninterrupted, high-quality hip-hop. I appreciate every reader of Midwest Broadcast, whether you check the site daily or stumble upon it irregularly. Readers visiting this site and showing love is what keeps me working on this blog, and I don't take it for granted. Thank you.

Finally, I want to close on a couple of notes. First, I want to give one huge shout out to Jonah Miller at High Top Productions. Jonah did the artwork for Flyover Land, Vol. 1 (as well as the website's banner design) and was extremely cooperative and patient with me in the creation of the album's covers. Secondly, I want to remind you that Midwest Broadcast will be coming back with Flyover Land, Vol. 2 in a matter of months. The artist feedback for this project was so great that I had to expand the series to multiple volumes. I already have several tracks collected and big plans for the next volume, and I encourage you to keep checking back at Midwest Broadcast for the next release in the Flyover Land series (as well as all other daily updates!). Without further adieu, I present to you Flyover Land, Vol. 1. Enjoy. Share it with friends. Peace!
