Here is a brand new track from Saul Williams’ follow up to his Trent Reznor produced album, The Inevitable Rise And Liberation Of Niggy Tardust. Slated for a Spring release, this has got me very excited to hear the rest of the forthcoming LP. Spotted over @ SKOA.
This is the first offering from N.O.R.E.’s upcoming easter themed project, Nore’aster, which according to his Twitter will feature production from the likes of The Neptunes, Cool & Dre and more. Always been an admirer of this guy, so will look forward to hearing it on Sunday.
The first piece of music we’ve heard from T3 since the Slum Village break up. Granted it’s nothing like the quality I came to expect from SV, but it’s still pretty cool. Look forward to his solo album.
Some spectacularly unique visuals for my favourite track from Devlin’s debut album, Bud, Sweat & Beers. More people need to think outside the box like Jimi Crayon has for this - one of my favourite videos for a long time. Spotted over @ Try This For Example
My favourite remix from the EP for Rusko’s latest single, Everyday. It’s been out for a couple of weeks, but I’ve only just got round to listening to it - big summer tune. Get your copy HERE. You can also catch Sigma’s remix of Eric Prydz’s new single after the jump.
Here is a little something from Reel People’s new album, Golden Lady. The album premieres exclusive new Reel People songs whilst collecting earlier outings from the outfit and a wide sweep of material by artists signed to its Reel People Music imprint – a sister stable to the highly regarded Papa Records. All 10 songs are a must have, but this joint from BSTC & JL is my favourite. Funky as hell.
For those of you who don’t know, Blue Sky Black Death is a production duo based in San Francisco. They have been releasing quality Hip-Hop instrumental mixtapes/albums consistently for the past 4 years, however this latest release is my favourite to date. Using live instrumentation and a unique sampling style they create a sound that allows you to get lost in the music, bringing out thoughts that you never knew existed. The track below gives you a taste of what you can expect, but I advise you to listen to it from start to finish, either in a dark room or outside on a beautiful Summers day - both work. Instrumental album of the year.
One of my favourite tracks from Curren$y and Alchemist’s collaborative EP/mini-album, Covert Coup. Along with some of the best Alchemist production for years, Curren$y blesses us his strongest rhymes since Pilot Talk 1, creating a quite scintillating sound - this is a special chemistry which I hope we get to hear more of in the future.
