It’s really hard to go from a Grap Luva record, to listening to another new release for me. Why? Because musically the bar is just set so high by Grap Luva and crew that anything else is like drinking a glass flat soda. Tonight I’ve been listening to the title track, “Neva Done” produced by [...]

Yesterday on my record shopping excursion I stumbled upon a promo copy of the Flex Mathews 12″ single. This record right here was Damu The Fudgemunk’s wax debut before all the youtube fame and Redef releases. He produces the entire record. Beats are dope as you would expect from Damu, while Flex’s mic skills are [...]

I just purchased the official repress of Slum Village’s “Fantastic Vol. 1″ over the weekend released through Fatbeats and it’s been in heavy rotation inside the car ever since. Jaydee’s beats remain unmatched and sound just so incredible! An added bonus is the free 7″ that comes inside the LP when you crack it open. [...]

KanKick’s Seeing Spirits 10″ has finally come to fruition on the Poobah Records label after much anticipation and internet buzz. Expect more dusty beats and moody interludes on this one for all the fans of KanKick’s signature sound. And of course Poobah gives all it’s wax releases the limited vinyl treatment, so expect these to [...]

Released a couple weeks ago on the Nature Sounds label-this special 10″ features new music from Blu with the standout cut, “Amnesia” which is constructed from a beautiful Billie Holiday Sample. Very nice stuff! Highly recommended.

Spacey lush samples, crisp drums, and thick bass lines are the ingredients behind Eric Lau’s new album, “Quadrivium”. These beats are thick! and if you’re a fan of Dilla you’ll enjoy the 20 tracks on this record. Highly recommended!

“Biz said he got a version with no bells, but I ain’t never seen that for sale!-definition of a holy grail, white whale, unobtainable, unexplainable but it’s so ill when you cop that!-joint that had you searchin like Roy Ayers all over the globe with toy players…”

“Neva Stop Diggin”

DWG does it again! Another beautiful [...]

Georgia Anne Muldrow has released a small batch of self produced beats under the title, “VWETO”-A word which means gravity in Kikongo is an LP filled with beats heavily influenced by spacey Electo Funk and soulful grooviness. At the same time keeping the beats bouncing along with crispy snares and heavy drum programming. VWETO is [...]

Madlib’s latest installment of his Medecine show albums is, I think one of the better constructed and enjoyable albums in the whole series. Bonus version again features limited edition number stamped covers, silk screened art + bonus disc containing unreleased beats. Also the album has what sounds like a bullshit story attached to the unearthing [...]
