I’ve long been missing me some Heems but I never expected I was get my fix in a Fort Lean remix. Damn if I am not super pleasantly surprised. I’ve had this on repeat for days and love it more every time. Can we get a full EP of this, please?
Get more Fort Lean action with their ripper of a jam “Might’ve Misheard” on VINYL MOON: Space & Sound.

But damn I glad it did. Read more
Songs are pretty amazing things. It’s magical that such a small thing can be so powerful. In the blink of an eye a song can make you smile, dance, cry, think, laugh, etc. These are the ones that did all those things for me the second half of 2011. Read more
♫ Heems – WOMYN aka HITCH (DEMO?)
As the half of Das Racist who doesn’t already have a side project, Heems gets up to some stuff. And thank goodness that he does because as a result the Hitch-obsessed hip-hop-head has bestowed this gem upon us (curious punctuation included). Heems waxes poetic about the many virtues and facets of the fairer sex, giving dudes everywhere an anthem to sing to their ladies. And sing loud and proud we shall. Thanks womyn. And thanks Heems. Das Racist’s first official album will be out September and appropriately titledRelax.
(And thanks to Stereogum for the album art)
