Unfortunately, the band, who where greatly missed didn’t make it to the show because of the flight delays. However, DJ Dummy and J Cole still managed to put on a great show for Radio One’s Big Weekend in Ireland.

J. Cole has listed the dates and cities for the trek, though so far no venues have been announced. One plus: admission only costs $1! The downside: admission will be granted on a first come, first serve basis. Catch DJ Dummy and the band on the the Dollar & A Dream tour, dates after the jump.

If you dont know about Karriem Riggins its time you learned a little something. If jazz and hip-hop passionately and cleverly intertwined with one another, the hybrid result would be a musically gifted lovechild. Born August 25, 1975 in Detroit, MI, Karriem Riggins’ parents realized their son was gifted when he began digging through their records.

He joined his father Emmanuel (who used to perform with jazz guitarist Grant Green) in the studio to play with instruments in the likeness of a musical great. Riggins continued his ongoing affair with music in his education and made hip-hop music in his spare time. Riggins turned his love into a profession, moving to New York City in 1994 at the age of 19. He played drums in Betty Carter’s band “Jazz Ahead.” While Riggins strengthened and developed his forte, the jazz world became enraptured with such an exceptional performer. Riggins went on to perform with and appear on recordings with various jazz greats such as Hank Jones, Ray Brown, Oscar Peterson, Milt Jackson, Donald Byrd, Cedar Walton, Bobby Hutcherson, Kenny Burrell, Benny Green, Mulgrew Miller, Ron Carter, Gary Bartz and Diana Krall.

Not one to abide musical boundaries, Karriem has made major accomplishments within the hip-hop world as a musician and producer. He has produced album tracks for Common, Slum Village, The Roots, and Erykah Badu. He’s toured with Common three times, and produced his “Play Your Cards Right” for Paramount Picture’s feature film “Smoking Aces.” He helped Kanye West demo some theme songs for “Mission Impossible III” featuring Twista and Keyshia Cole. One of Karriem’s most personal and esteemed projects was finishing and producing J Dilla’s last project, “The Shining.” Karriem released his first self-titled album, “Music Kaleidoscope,” showcasing his unique range as a hip hop producer and established jazz musician. More recently, Karriem has played drums and collaborated with Mad-Lib for his “High Jazz” album. Karriem Riggins continues to embark on a musical voyage, developing and creating music that will captivate audiences and entice the musical senses.

Following his remix to Jay-Z’s “Open Letter,” Common, the Chi-town spitter pays homage to the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, on this record. Common jumps on this rework of Chris Brown’s smash hit “Fine China” retooled by DJ Dummy and 9th Wonder. This huge hit just got even more soul with this new remix.

Ladies are going to love this song even more with the witty metaphors and wordplay from the G.O.O.D. Music artist.

After the successful release of his previous album which included the singles “Heartbeat” (BBC Radio 1Xtra ʻBest of Britishʼ track), “Dreams” (supported by 1Xtra, Radio 1, Clyde 1 and more) and “Protect Myself” (BBC Radio 1 Introducing Playlist), Ghanaian/UK based hip-hop artist Kobi Onyame returns with the first double offering from his forthcoming album – Greener Pastures.

“The Real part 2” is the street single produced by and featuring scratches by DJ Dummy (J. Cole, Common). The record is hard hitting and gritty hip-hop reminiscent of early nineties New York anthems. Kobi breaks down his take on what The Real is within the rap music industry and its content. DJ Dummy (DJ and MD for J Cole and Common) is on production and scratch duties.

Kim Hill may not be a name that you’ve heard in a long time, but this indie veteran is dipping her toe back in the music pool and is ready to swim a few more laps. If you remember pre-Fergie Black Eyed Peas before they became too corny and too pop to stomach, then you’ll remember Hill being featured extensively on their debut album, Behind the Front. In her time away from the spotlight she’s become a mommy and a DJ and has moved from Los Angeles to New York City, and as her self-imposed break from recording comes to an end she’s about to drop some new joints and jams of her own on us. The first new music from Kim is the DJ Dummy-produced track, “Other Worldly,” which lives up to its title and then some by sounding like it’s from another time and space. Hill is channeling the spirits of Minnie Riperton and Angela Bofill on this song that sounds like a beautiful painting come to life. I’ve never heard Kim Hill sing apart from her work with BEP and this is a refreshing introduction to her solo work. “Other Worldly” will be featured on upcoming projects from both Kim and DJ Dummy, but you don’t have to wait until then to quench your good music thirst because it’s available for free download right now. Dap to DJ Oh So Kool for pointing me in the direction of this lovely piece of work.
