Freddie Gibbs & Madlib – Shame
Freddie Gibbs and Madlib drop their lead single from their Shame EP.
INTERVIEW: Suhnraw
We caught up with the Filipino maestro Suhnraw a few days after his new release Slaps came out. When did you start making beats? Around February 2011 is when I started. What sort of music did you listen to growing up? A lot of different types man…90’s hip hop and R&B..my dad used to bump …
Review: God Save The King (Proper English Version) – Copywrite
We reviewed Copywrite’s God Save The King (Proper English Version). We’ve seen a lot of hype surrounding UK artists in the US of late so it’s always refreshing to hear a US hip hop album featuring an all star cast of rappers from both sides of the Atlantic. Ohio’s own Copywrite doesn’t fail to disappoint …
Jonwayne & Jeremiah Jae – Cassette
Rumours that record labels would be dropping CD releases shocked me somewhat as I thought it was a bit premature. After all, CDs aren’t exactly archaic and I’d rather have a physical copy than lose a digital copy for god knows how many reasons. Clearly none of this seemed to worry Jonwayne as he put …
ONE TO WATCH – TightMike
TightMike is our One to Watch.
Ohbliv – New Black Renaissance (Side B)
Ohbliv ushers in a New Black Renaissance with his new EP. Hailing from Richmond, VA, ohbliv released New Black Renaissance (Side B) the companion part to Side A. Tagged as dirty soul hop, we can certainly see why. It’s offbeat, quirky and dusty as hell (in an audible way) and just the way we like it. If …
LFMH – Low Budget Loops
LFMH, formerly Mau, digs through the one euro bin for those Low Budget Loops. All the loops/edits were sampled from 1euro records purchased at thrift stores and flea markets, hence the title “low budget loops”. Edited and flipped using a sp-404 and a miniKP. Ever since I got my SP-303, I’ve been fascinated by anyone …
ONE TO WATCH – Nubbz
Dutch producer Nubbz is our One To Watch. I’ve been following Nubbz on Twitter for a while and I was aware of his talent but then he sent me a Youtube link to a Childish Gambino remix he did and I was blown away. He’s from the Netherlands and definitely somebody to look out for. …
Oh No – Dues N Dont’s ft. Jose James and Phife Dawg
Before Oh No’s forthcoming album Ohnomite comes out, here’s a taste of the sort of things you can expect. Featuring Jose James and ATCQ’s Phife Dawg, Dues N Dont’s is something for the summer. Ohnomite comes out on 5th June on Stones Throw but in the meantime, play the YouTube video below to hear the track and let us …
Clear Soul Forces – Detroit Revolution(s)
Clear Soul Forces’s new album Detroit Revolution(s) is the perfect homage to the Motor City.
ONE TO WATCH – Languid
Found this guy through a friend on Twitter. Trippy, offbeat and everything you’re not told to like and that’s why I love his work. Born in Zimbabwe and now living in Ipswich, Languid (born Marcus Kuzvinzwa) has great selection of beats on Bandcamp and Soundcloud and he’s definitely someone to watch out for in the future …
