As my ex-commrade Ryan had mentioned in an earlier post, The Dodos will be coming out with a new album entitled Time To Die on September 15th. I was able to obtain a leak from Pitchfork of the track “Fables” which will be featured on the new album. I remember when Ryan told me about these guys’ album Visiter, I took one listen and I was immediately hooked on their harmonies and acoustic sound. Pitchfork also said that The Dodos label, Frenchkiss Records, launched a new website so that fans could stream the new album Time To Die which you can go to here.

As many of you know, Freeway & Jake One are going to be releasing a new album on Rhymeasayers Entertainment called The Stimulus Package. According to 2DopeBoyz, “Blogger” is the first leak off of the album. Freeway puts in his two cents on all of the bloggers out there on the inter-highway. I can assure you I am highly anticipating this album after hearing this track. Don’t sleep folks, don’t sleep.

Here is another guy that all of you shouldn’t even think about sleeping on. DJ JS-1 just dropped his album Ground Original (No Sellout 2), and from what I’ve heard it’s the real deal. There are so many great guest appearances that I had to check this one out; to name a few: Copywrite, EMC, Aesop Rock, Vast Aire & many more (not to mention the emcees on the tracks posted). He just dropped a remix of the track “Ridiculous” that features Masta Ace, Pharoahe Monch & OC. If you have had any doubts about this album at all just take a listen to this track and I think you may be singing a slightly different tune.

DJ JS-1, “Nuthin” (Feat. Brother Ali, Sadat X & C.L. Smooth)

Revival EPHere is the newest single from Royce Da 5’9″ off of his Revival EP, and it features the rest of the Slaughterhouse crew. The track is called “Warriors” and it’s just more of what you would expect from these guys. The beat is full of nice triumphant horns, and it is perfect for all four of these guys to kick the shit out of. The one thing that I can’t get over is how much all four of these guys truly bring to the microphone on every single track. Make sure you grab this one, it will not dissapoint.

Download: Royce Da 5’9″, “Warriors” (Feat. Slaughterhouse)

You can also download Royce’s new EP, The Revival EP on iTunes here. For those you that prefer Amazon, you can go here.

Fashawn Talks About “Life As a Shorty”

20090703-fashawn1

Fashawn is another one of those cats that I can’t get enough of. He has been killing shit on the left coast all over the place lately, and now he drops this gem produced by Exile (as well as the rest of the album). This track will be on his debut LP Boy Meets World which comes out on September 1st. Exile’s production on this track is superior, and Fashawn spits some incredible bars. The thing I love about Fashawn is that his lyrics paint a picture like Monet, at the same time those same lyrics can tell a story like Hemmingway. In this track his remniscent recollection of his childhood is impeccable, and shouldn’t be slept on by anyone.

Slaughterhouse Brings You “The One”

Slaughterhouse, The One

Man, these guys have put out 2 tracks that have just astonished me beyond belief. The wordplay that every one of these guys has is impeccable, and the production that we’ve heard has been top quality as well. DJ Khalil lays down a nice rock guitar infused beat that has Royce Da 5’9″, Crooked I, Joell Ortiz & Crooked I all spitting lava just like Kilauea. This album sounds like it is quickly shaping up to be a classic…

New Holy Ghost! via Green Label Sound

Posted in Audio, Downloads, Music News with tags , , , , , , on Friday, July 3, 2009 by Erik Burg

holy ghost record

The site/label that’s brought you great tracks from Matt & Kim to The Cool Kids is back once again to release the first Holy Ghost! track in two years. Green Label Sound, the indie-hipster side of Mountain Dew (I thought they only liked gamers) is ready and willing to give away the spooky disco single “I Will Come Back”. Brooklyn duo Nick Millhiser and Alex Frankel have been hard on the remix trail since their inception, but it’s their solo work that impresses me more often than their edits. And “I Will Come Back” is no exception, following in the disco footsteps, or dance pattern if you will, of “Hold On”, it features vocals that are reverbed and echoed to create a track that feels hollow, yet a drum kick that’s funky and fresh rounds the song into an extremely fun and danceable treat. And what else can you expect from DFA DJs, I mean come on. So turn it on and turn it up, for a free download it doesn’t get much better than this. Enjoy!

The track is produced by Emile (which may I mind you is fire), and of course you can expect Royce to be going off like a Tommy Gun. Thanks to 2DopeBoyz for the world premier leak. Make sure you watch out for the EPs from all of the cats from Slaughterhouse, they are coming very soon.
