A few years back our good friend James Danino AKA Sir James collaborated on a single with Vaughn Benjamin. Upon Benjamin’s untimely and unfortunate passing, Sir James decided to release the song, now titled “Take Your Time,” as a 7-inch single. Knowing James as I do it was not a money grab at all, which is what some pirates were busy doing upon Vaughn’s passing – slapping their names on some lame bullshit that was never meant for release and pushing it out as if Vaughn intended it all along. Sir James gave a bunch of singles away, traded, even sold a few, however, his true dream was to collaborate on a song with Vaughn Benjamin. And that he did! So here I give you “Take Your Time” by Vaughn Benjamin…

“TAKE YOUR TIME”

Also included here is a feature on Midnite from the Taos, New Mexico News. Midnite|Akae Beka spent lots of time in Taos, New Mexico over the years touring and recording. Their albums with Fifth Son and Lion Tribe all were recorded in Taos and Vaughn Benjamin expressed his admiration for the area on many occasions. I have much more Midnite press which I will share in time.

Also keep a look out for Fifth Son doing some big things soon come. Word on the street is that Midnite’s Standing Ground LP may be reissued in the near future…
