…while the old folks dance at your family reunion…
Three years ago, in the summer of 2006, two unsuspecting guests at my wedding would meet for the first time and start down the road toward intense awesomeness.
Those guests were Theresa Vu of Magnetic North and Taiyo Na. I was pretty busy that evening, but I did notice the smell of partnership was in the air. (It was a wedding after all.)
So the fact that Magnetic North and Taiyo would soon start making music together should have been no surprise. The picture up top was snapped when they rolled thru Boston together earlier this year.
And before our beloved Theresa (Hwang, not Vu) moved away, one of her last BPAC-related proclamations was that Boston should be actively claiming credit for that working partnership between the folks collectively known as MNTN.
Fast forward to the summer of 2009, and they’ve released this collabo single: Summertime, which is super hot and available for free download!
In addition, it has the most adorable hip hop artwork in history. Get it now!

Just curious, is Boston also responsible for introducing MNTN to Conchita Campos? Or now are we just getting full of ourselves?
no taiyo introduced her to us…
