Posted in Audio, Downloads with tags Michigan, Mike Posner, One Be Lo, S.O.N.O.G.R.A.M., The R.E.B.I.R.T.H. on Friday, August 28, 2009 by Tim Althaus
If you are reading this asking yourself, “Who is One Be Lo”?, you should feel more than ashamed. One Be Lo is one of the sickest emcees to ever come out of the Midwest, and it’s no surprise that he’s from Michigan. If you haven’t heard anything from this man you need to go get S.O.N.O.G.R.A.M. & The R.E.B.I.R.T.H. right now. I’m absolutely loving this track, it contains a nice hard hitting beat full of synthesizers and a hook courtesy of Mike Posner. If you are familiar with One Be Lo, you know that the rhymes rifled off on this track are going to be superior to most everything you will hear. Listen to One Be Lo talk about your favorite “Boys in Blue” with vivid details that he is only capable of. Don’t sleep any longer.

In the interview he talks about what he’s been up to lately with the release of Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2 coming up, the new generation and why he’s been in the game so long, working with Dr. Dre & more. Make sure you peep the interview, it’s good. You can follow me after the jump for the “Catalina” track. (P.S. it’s clean) We now have the clean version!

Flying Lotus, “Aunties Lock”
Posted in Audio, Downloads with tags Aunties Lock, Electronica, Flying Lotus, Hip-Hop, L.A. EP 3x3 on Tuesday, August 25, 2009 by Tim Althaus
I was over at Sound Verite, and needless to say I caught this gem over there. If you haven’t gotten up on Steven Ellison (Flying Lotus) yet, you are missing out on some fantastic music. If you were to toss Dilla, Madlib & Prefuse 73’s styles into one unique sound, that is what Fly Lo would sound like. It’s so hard to put a finger on what style his music is, you could easily call it Electronica, but on the other hand you could easily call it Hip-Hop as well. I’ll leave the judging to you. If you get the chance, get all of his work that he’s put out. Everything that this guy has done has been nothing short of exemplary. His L.A. EP 3×3 is now out on limited vinyl via Warp Records as well.

Raekwon, “10 Bricks” (Feat. Cappadonna & Ghostface Killah) (Prod. By J Dilla)
Posted in Audio, Downloads with tags 10 Bricks, Cappadonna, Champion Sound, Ghostface, J Dilla, Jaylib, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2, Raekwon, The Red on Monday, August 24, 2009 by Tim Althaus
Yet another banger from J Dilla off of the Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2 album, which I may remind you drops on September 8th. You may recall that the beat on this track was on the re-release of Jaylib, Champion Sound on the track “The Red”. I remember when I heard the beat initially (on the Jaylib album) and was kind of disappointed that Madlib had changed it. Either way you look at it, the beat does knock like crazy and these guys are dope as hell over it. Cappadonna’s verse is a little below average compared to Ghost Deini and The Chef, but it’s still a dope ass track.

Apathy & Phonte Know “True Love”
Posted in Audio, Downloads with tags AOTP, Apathy, Demigodz, Eastern Philosophy, Get Busy Committee, Phonte, Wanna Snuggle? on Tuesday, August 18, 2009 by Tim Althaus
This is another great piece of news to wake up to this morning. Apathy (of the Demigodz, Army of the Pharaohs, Get Busy Committee, etc.) will be releasing his new album Wanna Snuggle?, his sophomore follow up to Eastern Philosophy on October 6th. If you haven’t been acquainted with this guy, you need to. He’s a great emcee and he’s fucking hilarious on the microphone. I personally loved Eastern Philosophy, and I’ve been a fan since I heard him on JMT’s Psycho Social album. Anyways, I checked my BlackBerry this morning and found the leak for the first single “True Love” which features Phonte. This track is dope, and I highly suggest you guys check this shit.

14KT Gives You Some Nowalataz
Posted in Audio, Downloads with tags 14KT, Ann Arbor, Buff1, Houseshoes, J Dilla, Lab Techs, Mayer Hawthorne on Tuesday, August 18, 2009 by Tim Althaus
I’ve been waiting for this since I initially heard about it, and I will give thanks to 2DopeBoyz as I have too many times in the past. 14KT is a producer out of the Lab Techs collective in Ann Arbor, Michigan. If you haven’t heard about this guy I really do feel sorry for you. The beats that this guy has put out are nothing short of amazing. This is an album that 14KT has had done since 2006, when J Dilla passed away. Making these “donuts” was his way of coping with Dilla’s passing. On another note, you can catch 14KT on tour with Buff1, Mayer Hawthorne & House Shoes starting September 5th. Follow me after the jump for the download link. Continue reading
