"We're very excited and grateful to be headed out on our Home Away From Home Tour with Bambu, MaLLy and Last Word. Anyone who's experienced my headlining tours knows that I like to have one DJ and one host for the entire evening and I choose my support artists very carefully. If you're not up on any of our tour family's music, please check them out so you'll know how to appreciate them when we're in your town. I also like to make a tour theme song with everyone in the crew to celebrate rolling out together. Please enjoy this track and we welcome your well wishes for safe travels and security for our loved one's while we're away. 

Love Always and See You Soon!

-Ali"

Brother Ali - Home Away From Home feat. Bambu & MaLLy

"My favorite part about touring has always been the people. You never know what to expect when you pack your bags and get in that van. The Winter & the Wolves tour was no exception. It had been a long time since I took on a nationwide headlining tour with built-in support, and I had forgotten what an amazing experience it can be when your relationship with your tour companions goes from being mere acquaintances to becoming good friends. I couldn't have been happier with the outcome! To celebrate that fact, Fearce Vill, SonReal and I made a fun little song together, called "Ain't Nothin". We figure now is a great time to put it out, as a way to say "THANK YOU" to all of our friends (new and old) that came out to support us on our journey this summer."  --Grieves

You can download the song here for free!

It's also available on iTunes http://bit.ly/AintNothin and Fifth Element http://bit.ly/AintNothinFE

We hope you enjoy!

"When you've been on tour for weeks, and you haven't had the opportunity to create music, you start to go crazy. Not making music feels like what I imagine having an itchy, phantom limb would feel like. There's just no relief. Then you make it back home, and you head into the studio. You've got this creative spark, but you're on the struggle bus, trying to focus enough to get just one idea out at a time... And then B. Lewis brings out a saxophone and the air in the room gets a little thicker, all that creative energy turns sultry, and you create a song like this!
Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!"

Grieves - Cougar Catnip

The Headshots "Compensation" Tape (Vol. 3) was the first in the series to include actual songs from the Headshots crew, rather than just live performances like the two previous tapes. "Compensation" featured three 4-Track recordings from ANT's basement studio, a.k.a The Factory, including Beyond's "Cash Is Expensive" and two Atmosphere songs; "Mathematics" and "Vowel Movement". 

We decided to share "Vowel Movement" in connection with our new YouTube video series, "A Moment In Rhymesayers", which is celebrating 20 Years of Rhymesayers history through exclusive interviews and rare footage from those that lived it.
Episode 3 of "A Moment In Rhymesayers" covers the first three Headshots Tapes; Vol. 1: "WBBOY Sessions", Vol. 2: "Arrogance" and Vol. 3: "Compensation". In this episode, ANT, Slug and Siddiq discuss what inspired the idea for the Headshots Tape series, as well as how each of those first three tapes began and developed.

Be sure to subscribe to the series on YouTube. In our next episode, we will focus on Headshots Tape Vol. 4: "History", which was dedicated to Sess (of The Abstract Pack), who passed away in 1996.
