Clutch Builds

The title track from producer Simon SMTHNG's The Death Of Us EP. It serves as a haunting backdrop with sounds seemingly appearing out of the corners of your speakers. The kind of song you get lost in because of the meditative state it practically guides you to. Here is to accepting the now.

Melodic Maelstrom

This is what the art of the remix is all about. Terrace Martin gets clever with his saxophone and reworks the ill cut "Poetic Justice" from Kendrick Lamar's good kid, m.A.A.d. city album and arguably makes it even more enjoyable. I certainly think so.

 

Organized Loosies

Been feeling this cat out of Carolina, Tony Ducks, simply based on a few random songs I came across on different hip-hop blogs. I began to notice that I couldn't find a single mixtape/album/ep but just individual tracks, so this morning I decided to organize some of my favorites into a little impromptu EP im calling "Tony Ducks Loosies". Production from Black Milk, Flying Lotus, J Dilla, and Madlib. Smooth vibe throughout, download link below.

Tony Ducks Loosies EP

wa.na.be

Lost in my hard drive. Music saves the day at the buzzer. Everyone is going home happy. Throw away your receipts. And say I love you to that person.

Stoned Raiders

And now for something completely different...from DJ Muggs atleast. You probably know him from Cypress Hill but dude has worked with damn near everybody in the game. The new EP Sound Boy Killa has him showcasing some diverse sounds for the typically boom-bap producing beatsmith. Im digging this 6 Blocc remix of a classic Cypress song, "Stoned Raiders".

Immaculation

Get your ass to Angel's Rock Bar inside of Power Plant Live! this Thursday 11/29 to hear some experimental sounds from some of the best DJ's in Baltimore. I will begin the festivities @ around 9pm with some straight weird shit. 

Imaginate

Start doing the things you love again. Avoid the pollution and naysayers. They probably never chased their dreams anyway. Two cuts off of Keswick's Imaginate which features the usual lush production with several noteworthy MC features.

Life Size Ghosts

Change is inherently good. Standing in one place kills your perspective. Move yourself. Life is a movie, be the bad-ass character.

Pain Inflicted, Pain Endured

Locating the source of pain can be tough, whether physical or emotional. Which one is worse, no clear answer for me. Both have been endured if you are alive. Living for the now. What else is there besides half-concocted bullshit and half-remembered distorted memories. Being aware of the little things is making a huge fucking difference.

Himanshu

Music gets me from am to pm. So many unique sounds and flows being consumed recently. Lost in a good place. Moving along despite setbacks. Starter caps and blunts packed.

Who Moved My Vibe?

Myriad of sounds running through my brain lately. this is the avenue to hear some as they speed by. expect the expected unexpectedness and head nodding. its a tough life but this is easy.

Bubble Gum

performing CPR on the blog. been listening to too much new music to not share with my brethren. this one is off Isaiahthe3rd's new project titled Feast Of Fools. Link to DL the whole project down bottom.

Real Shit

"she kiss me on my cheek, and as she drove away she speeded / the next day im greeted by her mother, oh brother, she think im stupid / trying to play cupid undercover, talking bout how me and patty made the cutest couple, then invited me for supper / now dont think that im petty, but i know what desperate ladies put in their spaghetti, thats why i told her that i ate already"

Binary Star - Glen Close

Album: Masters of the Universe

A Face In The Crowd

"my feet in the street, your foot on the curb/i speak a different language, you speak a few words/responsibility and humility in a world of hostility, my best ability is availability, whats yours?/with no possibilities and closed doors"

 this track means alot to me. produced by preemo. but edo g. takes this shit over the cliff. super smooth on the beat. loving the krs-one samples on the hook. this is what a hip hop classic sounds like.

Outside the Box

"ayo folk never kissing ass, cuttin' like a kitchen class, im on the L train...this dude just pissed his pants"
