Yameen

My homeboy, Travelin Matt hollered from Bangkok with some fresh new pix of the Yameen album making its Thailand debut:

“I shot these at the Grand Palace and Wat Pra Kao (The Temple of the Emerald Buddha). The most sacred place in Thailand.”

Word, duuk. Came out slamming!

Check out more pix from Travelin Matt in Thailand in the Photos section of the site.

And be sure to check out Matt’s internet radio station, Underground Bangkok Radio, broadcasting live from Thailand, at www.ubradio.net.

Props to Jazzy HipHop + Cool Design; a dope music+design journal based out of Japan. They gave me a huge feature on their site, I took a screenshot below:

Here’s a link to the Japanese-language version of the page (the original) and here is a link to the Google Translate English version (does a pretty-pretty-good translation imo…)

Zach just shot over a ton of photos he took on his trip to northern India. They are really off the hook. From the Taj Mahal, to chillin on the roof with monkeys, to the Golden Temple of Amistar, it’s all super fly. Check em out on the Photos page.
