A Request from Me
Please allow me to take a break from my regular music postings to address you with a request.
Readers and followers,
In May 2011, I will be embarking on a trip to Africa with two goals. Climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, the world's largest free standing mountain, and help renovate schools for children in Tanzania.
Thanks to Childreach International USA (childreachusa.org), I am able to have the opportunity to achieve both of these goals. I have a set fundraising goal of $5,000 that will go towards Childreach, schools for children in Tanzania and the expenses of travel to and from Africa, as well as up the mountain.
As specified by Childreach, the money raised will be used primarily to support the School Improvement Programs and Vocational Training Centers in Tanzania. This past year, the program benefited 2,894 children in Tanzania by renovating classrooms, providing new supplies and building toilet and kitchen facilities. The Vocational Training Centers aim to help socially excluded and/or vulnerable children by teaching them practical skills to increase their chances of employment later in life. In 2009, the training centers taught carpentry, training, IT, math, and basic English to 125 young adults.
I am seeking help in reaching my $5,000 fundraising goal and I would really appreciate any donation you feel comfortable giving; I can assure you it's going to a great cause. Thanks so much.
To donate, follow this link:

Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or would like more information.
There may be a brief mentioning of this time to time, but you can expect the normal music posts to resume next post. Thank you for your time.
Regards,
Brandon "DJ BK" Kaplan

I Just Had Sex
Even more shouts to illRoots.
Not sure why these guys have been popping up in my life so much recently, but Lonely Island hilarious, so I don't mind. I love when they just say fuck it and don't go for rhymes. Good to see Akon with a sense of humor. Great break down at 2:00.

Gotta Get Up
Shouts to illRoots for this one. Asher Roth and D.A. go over a great piano riff, produced by Notz, for this latest leak off his upcoming mixtape, The Rawth EP, dropping on the 27th.

All For Love
Two posts in one night? It's finals week, why not? We're gonna go another direction and bring it back to the 90s with this Color Me Badd track. It was so cool to substitute words for numbers in the 90s. 4 real.
Tweeters
Stumbled upon this bad boy earlier this week. Enjoy a nice, mellow, synth-filled beat accompanied by the talented vocals of a relatively unknown, Dow Jones.
"I don't do it for the whites, I don't do it for no brothers, I do it for every color. So you can see this without using your sight, therefore this music is color blind."

Duck Sauce
What happens when you bring two of the greatest DJs currently alive and have them collaborate to make new music? Duck Sauce happens. Duck Sauce, comprised of A-Trak and Armand Van Helden, is not exactly the newest duo on the scene, but I'm going to enlighten those of you who don't know the fun that Duck Sauce is capable of bringing.
Check out the star studded video, but since it cuts in and out of the actual song, I recommend you download the song to really listen to it. I spot Barbra Streisand, Santogold, Pharrell, Kanye, Vampire Weekend, Ryan Leslie, A-Track and Armand Van Helden. Who have I not recognized here?
