Impressions On Concrete

2012-01-25T16:03:00.000-08:00

Impressions On Concrete is a project where DJ Presto brings various beat-smiths together on two vinyl records. I can remember that I once read that Omid, who also appear on this record, has pushed Presto to release his music because he liked his jazzy beatz. He not only pushed him to but also supported him and probably he also helped him to launch the label Concrete Grooves that was the home for various releases of Presto. The moment I first heard the music from Presto I liked it. He has 3 tracks on this record that are also on Presto's Inflight Instrumentals album and also on one of his 12"es. "Reminisce" is also on Akumas "Eye in the sky" album having a nice tempo of 96bpm. Omid's track "Solarism" is the instrumental of 2Mex's "Control Mexica" off the "B-Boys In Occupied Mexico" album where the track is falsely credited to be produced by Mum's The Word. To meeee it also sounds like it is produced by Omid but it could probably be produced by both. Mum's The Word also appears on this record like Fat Jack, Flaco, M Fusion, DJ Smash, Mr Montes, Khurse and Sach.

The Prizum again....but having an interesting record here. Especially the track Crabb Niggaz that appears in two different versions on this record. One that has the same beat as the one on the "Hot Time" record from Polo and Zoundwavez aka Phoenix Orion but where only Phoenix Orion and the B.O.D. Click ( Clutch and Money Bazz) appear on. Be sure to check the other record to see the difference. The 2nd version of Crabb Niggaz is only performed by the B.O.D. Click and has a different beat that owns more of that East Coast flavour. The track "Alert The Masses" has a really tight beat and I'm a bit sad that there is no instro of it on this record. For "Ray Day" applies the same while there is also a instrumental of "I'll Get Ill" on this record that features Mr Jig. Never heard of Mr Jig before but he raps that he is also from the B.O.D. Click.

Widow P - No Champagne Just Blunts n Heineken

2012-01-24T12:02:00.000-08:00

This is Nr 3 in the round from the Prizum offering two different tracks "No Champagne" and "Pass It Around" plus their instrumentals. The Acapella of "No Champagne" is also included. Both tracks have very tight beats and the Prizum's raps are cool, too.

Widow P - No Champagne

Widow Prizum - Jetlag

2012-01-22T04:14:00.000-08:00

As the cover implies, this release builds a bridge between New York and Paris.
Widow Prizum ( Cozmic Ray and Ikeia ) from NY and Assassin ( Pyroman and Rockin' Squat ) from Paris join forces on the track "Jetlag". "Scared Of Us" is brought to you by the Prizum feturing Zoundwavez aka Phoenix Orion. Last but not least Cozmic Ray and Ikeia appear on "543-21". The Acapella of Jetlag is included plus its instrumental and the instrumental of 543-21.

Request: Abstract Rude - Eyes Wide Shuttish

2012-01-13T06:03:00.000-08:00

In September The Thirdman requested this release and thanks to Shane you can find it now here.
It is a digital only release with only 6 tracks. DiscoGs states that it is a CD release but I doubt it because I can't remember to have it seen as that.

L*Roneous - Imaginarium

2012-01-12T12:52:00.000-08:00

Looking at the credits of this album some might think that it may be boring. But I can tell ya it isn't! Even though it is only produced by DJ Zeph and L*Roneous is the only one who rips the mic. Don't let them trick you, it's hot!

Fat Hed - What Do We Need Today? / Need Some More 12"

Fat Hed put out this small release in 2004 containing only two tracks from the album "Night Train To Babble On" plus its instrumentals. The A-side is produced by Kut Masta Kurt who you might know from the Diesel Truckers with Kool Keith or from the Masters Of Illusion where Motion Man also is a member. Motion Man also appears on "What Do We Need Today?". The B-Side is produced by Nocturnal Ron and there is also a feature of Crag Malkovich. Enjoy.

The Infidelity Project

2012-01-05T16:27:00.000-08:00

The Infidelity Project is a 2xCD compilation with close to two and a half hours of music. Gunther B took care of alot of them beats plus some other guys. There are also alot of features of MCs I have never heard of before excluding Tommy V. First I thought that some guys might be from EX2 but I saw that some guys also appeared on the Mystery School projects some others are difficult to track down.
The music reminds a lil bit on the Anonymous Inc album with a touch of the Anticon stuff.

Third Sight - The Golden Shower Hour

2012-01-05T15:46:00.000-08:00

Here is something different for you folks. Third Sight consists of D-Styles, Dufunk and Jihad The Roughneck bringing you close to 60 minutes of good music. While Jihad rips the mic, D-Styles and Dufunk program the beats. Good stuff!

Third Sight - The Golden Shower Hour

Beneath The Surface...

2012-01-01T09:16:00.000-08:00

This is one of the few albums that still amazes me after rotating it periodically for 12 years now.

It casts LA's most prolific rappers paired with Omid's deep going beats leading you to a 82 minutes lasting journey. You just have to enter the bus and to enjoy the ride...
Additional note:
The compilation was first self released by Omid himself in a limited run in form of a 3xLP and a CD in 1998. In 1999 came a 12" EP, a 3xLP and CD on Celestial Recordings. The full length Celestial Recordings releases have a different track listing than Omid's self released ones. On the first release there are the tracks "Surveillance", "What Up" and "Outsider" which aren't on the second release while on the 2nd there are "Subterranean Service" and "To The Turn Of The Earth" which aren't on the first release. Furthermore the second press vinyl consists of 3 records where only 2 records contain the vocal versions while the third has some instrumentals! Some people say that there was also a repress of the 2nd 3xLP. Later on, there also came a CDr and a 2xLP with the instrumentals and a re-release of the first CD.
Taking the instrumentals from the 2nd 3xLP version and the Instrumental CDr there are only 3 instrumentals missing: "You are in my clutches", "What Up?" and "Outsider" which is the same beat as on "Line Postin' in Pedro". For "You are in my clutches" I can remember that I once read that Omid doesn't know where his original ADAT recording is, so we probably will never see this one :_(

Yeah the instrumentals to Haiku D'Etats latest album. Some beats are pretty dope and they made me rehear the whole album in a deeper way. Probably you will feel the same. Complete except the Intro track!

Headnodic Beats Vol 1 (Vinylrip)

2011-12-10T12:31:00.000-08:00

It's been a long time since I put up some stuff and I'm coming with some cool beats from Headnodic this time. The record was released on Insiduous Urban Records a record label which also gave home to the early Foreign Legion releases. Headnodic might not be new everyone cause he made two beats for Myka Nyne's Citrus District album and when you have a look on DiscoG's you will see that he has produced beats for alot of cool cats like Gift Of Gab, Scarub, Mr Lif, Zion I and so on....

Request: Fat Jack - Natural Hallucinogenics

2011-11-17T06:28:00.000-08:00

Besides the two instrumental releases, one he released with DJ D (The Message) and the other one with Mascaria (Timespan), this one was a digital only release and also features some fine MCs. St. Mark 9:23, Mikah 9 and Abstract Rude bring you the background vocals on some tracks while on some other tracks Medusa & Feline Science and also Abstract Rude lay down some verses. As the name of the album implies, the tracks are of a laid-back style and I didn't try it but I can imagine that the album is a good one when being high.

Fat Jack - Natural Hallucinogenics

Eligh - A Story Of 2 Worlds

2011-11-16T16:57:00.000-08:00

Just heard the new album of Eligh and I thought that I upload this fine release. It is Eligh's second album and he released it on Tape and on CD in 1997. Production is mostly handled by Eligh himself plus Elusive, Grouch and by Bizarro aka Bicasso on a very nice track called Plantlife were Bizarro also kicks some verses. Features also come from Scarub, Murs, Basik, PSC, BFAP, ASOP and Grouch.
I can remember a record store were this CD laid for some years. Everytime I went through the CDs, I thought: "Hmm, I'm not sure. Should I buy it or not?". But in the end I bought it and it was a good decision, it took long but I made it. When I hear "Fisherman's Lot" it comes to my mind and I'm feeling good. Or Congestion, or....

Below The Surface Presents: Strictly Indee

2011-10-28T18:12:00.000-07:00

Below The Surface back in the day was a record label and store based in Cali run by Kegs I think. It had some really cool releases like a limited 7" series that are absolutely worth a check.

On this release you will find a bunch of cool cats like Equipto of Bored Stiff, Kirby Dominant, the Constylations(Style MISIA, AONE, Diverse, Pisces, Amorpheus and Esoin), BOAC and Top Ramen from The Earthlings, Shing02 and Doc Maxwell who also collaborate on the Tags Of Times 3 Compilation, the Freelancers (Maleko and Da Golden Ray), Deeskee, Tommy V, the Westcoast Workforce(Anti MC, Joe Dub, Subtitle, Premonition, Megabusive and Radioinactive) and Sole, Jel, Alias and Pedestrian from Anticon.
And that weren't even all !

Request: Myka 9 - A Work In Progress Bonus CD

2011-10-12T00:42:00.000-07:00

This is a limited Bonus CD for Mikah 9's "A Work In Progress" album. The first track features Pigeon John and track 5 features some guys who aren't credited but I think that they aren't Project Blowed affiliates. Two other tracks are only performed by Myka 9 while there are also 3 instrumentals. There are various clicks on every track.

2011-10-12T00:20:00.000-07:00

These beats were originally on tape, so the sound quality is not the best. But it is a tape that you won't find easily. Some beats are cool some not. What do you think?

2011-10-03T11:34:00.000-07:00

To make the time short between now and the release of the new FF album, you'll find all 3 albums and one EP within the next days starting with their first release 2day. Innercity Griots their second release is already available here btw.

For all who haven't heard this album, let me tell ya that some peepz think that it was groundbreaking in the rap history for its styles. In the movie "This is the life" it was told that they thought: "Oh shit, I can't do it the old way anymore, I have to change my style of rapping". You can check their styles even better by listening to the Accapellas. In my opinion "Physical Form" by P.E.A.C.E is very interesting cause he raps about McBeth from Hamlet in a funny way for example. I have also added the Mix version which was done by J-Sumbi.

<a href="http://labelloveworldwide.bandcamp.com/track/we-are">We Are by Freestyle Fellowship</a>

It's official! FF will release their album on the 14th of October and "We are" sounds very promising.

2001: A Rhyme Odyssey

2011-09-10T15:10:00.000-07:00

I can remember in 2001 when I had a different job than I do have now and one day there came a person in who always gave us some flyers and postcards. But at that day he left this CD which was a real coincidence because no one else at work was into that type of stuff except meeee. I already knew the Dilated Peoples and such that appear on that compilation from Guidance Recordings. After work I happily went to my homies house and we analyzed the compilation together. As mentioned I already knew most of the artists but Primeridian and Missin' Linx were new to me and I started diggin them.

Stranger Day - Burning Bridges

2011-09-10T10:00:00.000-07:00

Some time ago ludz03knowthis posted up the album where this track appears on and it totally blew me away. If you are able to grab a copy of the album, don't miss the chance it seems to be hard to get and infos about it are also rare.

Request: Awol One - The War Of Art

2011-09-05T13:22:00.001-07:00

Shane requested this release plus Abstract Rude's "Eyes wide shutty" of which I haven't heard of before. You might buy the Ab Rude release from the digital market places.
But to come back to Awol One's album I can tell that it seems that Awol had only help from a few peepz like Eyedea, Jizzm, Riddlore, 2Mex and KRS One!!! No this time he had a bunch of producers like Daddy Kev, Grouch, The Undergods (must be the ones who also appeared on Omid's KXLU session), Rhettmatic, Pigeon John, Transducer, Andre Afram Asmar and J Zone.

Basik - At The Mercy Of The City

2011-09-01T12:18:00.000-07:00

After Apex Predator, Basik did an album in 2000 that was released on CD only plus a 12" off it. I can remember that I bought this one before the Apex Predator CD but I knew the tape version of Apex Predator and in 2000 it was impossible to find. Although any appearance of Slant is missing, it is very cool too. But I'm posting also this one because there are also appearances of the Copacetic Concepts members Imaginative Eye, Perfecto and Black Tongue. Besides them Eligh, Grouch Anacron, Anon, dB and PSC also bless the album with their work. Recommendable are the tracks "The Moment", "Generation X-Flies" where you can find the beat on Eligh's US version of Gandalfs Beat Machine, "Wanna Be Weirds", "Mr. Flossangeles", "Chalkboard Strategy" sick! and "Convining Swines". What do you think?

Basik - At The Mercy Of The City

Basik MC - Apex Predator

2011-08-20T19:44:00.001-07:00

Being originally released as a tape in 1998 you'll herewith find the CD version of Basik MCs "Apex Predator". In contrary to the tape version the CD version has of course a better sound quality and also some more tracks. It carries all tracks that are on the tape plus two new tracks. By providing 6 beatz for the album ranging from hard-hitting to experimental-abstract to laid-back type of ish Slant of Onomatopoeia did an excellent job. Other producers who took care of them beatz are Eligh, Mr. Len, Grouch and 2 Fat and Eye-3 of Copacetic Concepts. Perfecto, another Copacetic Concepts member appears on 2 tracks. Other features come from Eligh, Grouch, Aesop, Scarub, Murs and also from Slant. All of them including Basik who of course delivera some dope stuff that is worth a check.
You can find more stuff from the Copacetic Concepts on the Ghetto Tyylit Blog.

Ey yo the bus stops...

2011-08-10T07:45:00.000-07:00

Before I bought this one recently I have only found the CD version of this release in a good quality. But what is unsatisfying with the CD version is that there are 2 tracks missing in comparison to the vinyl version. It's "Who Falls Apart?" and its instrumental. In contrary to Bus Stops, Who Falls Apart wasn't on the "World Ultimate" but on the "Sight Of Things" album.

There are also 2 very good remixes of Bus Stops on this record with one of them having an appearance of Aceyalone which is like a short song on its own. For every vocal track there is also an instrumental, so there are 8 tracks on this record with approximately 32 minutes of good music.

Nonce - Bus Stops 12inch

Supherb - All Bullshit Aside EP

2011-07-26T15:36:00.000-07:00

From Wild West Recordings comes this fine 11 track EP. Wild West Recordings is a subsidiary of American Recordings which was founded by Rick Rubin who also founded Def Jam Recordings and was responsible for some very successful productions. The Nonce who also had some releases on Wild West Recordings produced the tracks "Born On Parole Remix" and "Mr. Hollywood" on this EP. "All Bullshit Aside" and "Any Formz Of Wackness" were produced by A.M. and I can only say that I don't have a clue who that is. The EP only consists of this 4 tracks in their clean, instrumental and with one exception their album versions.
"All Bullshit Aside" has a laid back break-beat with a nice trumpet sample and features Chino XL on the hook while the beat of "Any Formz Of Wackness" adds some tempo and features Real Thorough on the hooks. As you can imagine its about the non-tolerance of wack mcs. "Born On Parole Remix" also features Real Thorough but has a typical laid back Nonce beat while "Mr. Hollywood" has a hard pumping bass which again fits good to the aggressive theme of the track.
I recorded it today from vinyl and did some stuff to make it sound more clean. Hope you enjoy.

Supherb - All Bullshit Aside EP

Rules Of The Game 12"

2011-07-21T17:51:00.000-07:00

A small but fine release featuring 3 tracks that were taken from the "Rules Of The Game" compilation plus their instrumentals will await you here. The Stiff are represented with a banging beat produced by TD Camp and performances by Kwanzaa and Pablo according to the credits list on the record. The next track has a laid back beat with constantly falling Hi-Hats produced by the Angel, a female DJ/producer with Mystic on the mic. At last there is a track by the Living Legends members Grouch, Asop and PSC. The laid-back beat is put together by the Grouch.
This record is the only one that was taken off the "Rules Of The Game" compilation which were also the only releases from Tripek Records.

Per Aa Ra - P(rays)e The Sun

2011-07-20T00:19:00.000-07:00

Thanks to the Jaded Emperor there is now a digital copy of this tape. Jaded Emperor also add the follwing:

This album was, to the best of my knowledge, only available on cassette. I copied it and encoded it to MP3 using Audacity on 7/18/2011. The cassette came in an evelope with a booklet containing illustrations and lyrics to all but the last track (a bonus track). These have been scanned and are all in the PDF file included. Page 2 may appear to be cut off, but it is not, it's just a blank page.
Anyway, Kemetic Suns are still one of the dopest crews from any era of Hip Hop.
If you can find original tapes, CDs, or vinyl records, I highly suggest purchasing them.
Have Fun,
Jaded Emperor

Feline Science - Unda Ground Crewed

2011-07-15T06:50:00.000-07:00

Request, Request. Kid Voltron requested some stuff from Feline Science and here it is. 36 minutes long and 9 tracks featuring Medusa, KoKo, Neb Luv, Baby Puma, Mortisha, Diamond and Jahah. Never heard of the last four mentioned femcees but they sound pretty dope.

Mikah 9 - Citrus Sessions

2011-07-10T11:43:00.001-07:00

Eleven years have past and the "Citrus Sessions" is what "It's All Love" could have been and what "A Work In Progress" prepared, a professional studio album . For Citrus Sessions alot of cats jumped on the train, its not only Mikah9 and Joseph Leimberg anymore but there are features of P.E.A.C.E. and his cousin K.I.T.S., Javis, Stix and Abstract Rude. Tracy Lane adds soulful background vocals to the album while you can find scratches from Exile of Emanon on the track "Me And My Girl". Headnodic produced "Viles" and "Everybody Gets Down" who was identified on my radar this year with his "Headnodic Beats Vol 1" release. Mike Meeker played various instruments and also produced some tracks and is also the executive producer. Ah, and there is also an appearance of DJ Kiilu, who produced the outro.
When this album was about to be released, Mikah9 put up he whole album as a free download because he said that someone else sold it without his permission. I have added this download release below plus some tracks that were also available as a free download from myka9.com including the track "Lost 4 Days" featuring KoKo that didn't make it on the album nor the EP. "Soiree" and "The People" were only on the EP.
The album deals with various themes in various styles, boring is something else...

It's All Love

2011-06-30T13:03:00.000-07:00

Nanana, i'ts all love...ohh. You are reading. Yeah, this is absolutely my favorite Hip-Hop record to date. As I heard it the first time, it totally blew me away. I heard stuff from the Fellowship before but this one was totally different cause of it's 80's style flair and of course Mikah 9 flowing over it in a soulful way. Additionally, he lays down some really dope lines. Especially on "Rise and shine" there is a part where it is hard to tell when he is taking a breath. But not only Mikah's skills shine on this album. It's also the production of Joseph Leimberg. This cat is so fucking talented, he is able to give Mikah a platform that is on the same level and allows him to flow freely and show his love for Hip-Hop.
Not long ago I found out that this album was also meant to be released on Capitul Recordings back in da day, when Acey let's them balls bouncing. And I can't really understand why they didn't push the album. Probably it was too far ahead of all the other stuff from '95 or they weren't able to realize what they held in their hands. Nah, I don't really want to think about it any longer. Fact is, there have been multiple versions of this album. First there was the Pure HipHop Inc version. The sound quality isn't best but it seems to be the most complete version. You can hear that a lot of them tracks haven't been finished completely. Some tracks end abruptly but "Rise and Shine" goes about 1 minute longer if you forget the intro to the track that was added on the other versions. I don't really understand why they took off the rest it really sounds better with the long ending in my opinion. The Pure HipHop Inc version also has 2 versions of "Come Up Off Of My Love", one produced by Joseph Leimberg and the other one produced by Fat Jack. You can only find "Homegirl" on this version while you can find the track "On the line" only on the other ones. The following version was from Mary Joy Recordings from 2001 while the other one followed in 2002 on Basement Records. That's were the re-mastering came from. Last but not least there is also an EP out there from the former Swedish record store 24/7 Records which followed in 2003.

Sonic Sum - Films

2011-06-21T06:15:00.001-07:00

Sonic Sums latest effort "Films" is totally different from Sanity Annex. While Sanity Annex had long intros and breaks on some tracks that make someone feel like staying and resting, this one is more like acting and moving forward. You can't say that for the whole albums for sure, because both vary but it applies to the majority of their tracks. Something that is also missing on Films is the usage of soulful backup vocals but Films is a piece of its own...

Additional Note: There are 2 12"es off of Films available called "Rocket" and "Films"

As requested by jackdevo, here is the second installment by the Sonic Sum. It is more an EP than an album. Originally 8 tracks deep it also has a hidden bonus track which is an instrumental. 3 tracks were taken from The Sanity Annex album while 2 of them are their respective remixes. "Rocket" appears on the forthcoming album "Films".

Sonic Sum - Plaster Man

Sonic Sum - The Sanity Annex

2011-06-19T07:46:00.000-07:00

While collecting nearly everything from Grouch on the end of the last millenium, a record store employee recommended me this record. He told me to check it out, i did and bought the CD. I took me a while because at that time I was strictly into West-Coast stuff but this one is also different from that typical boom-bap East-Coast stuff from that time. Sonic Sum added some cool samples that give them down-tempo breaks a certain trippyness. The albums character is also defined by some longer intros and interceptions within some songs. So if you haven't heard this album before, give it a try.
Additional Note: There are 3 12"es off of Sanity Annex available called

Downtown Maze / Skypirate
Callarama Gala / Flatlands
Himbro St. / It's An Ashtray

Equipto - Vintage Volume Won EP

2011-06-09T16:16:00.000-07:00

About 11 years ago I spoted this record at a homies house and at that time I couldn't get enough of it. What's funny about it is, that he didn't like record at all, although it was his and he only bought dope records he liked.

The beats remind of the good ol' Stiff stuff. So check them out!

Equipto - Vintage Volume Won EP

Awol One & Factor - Only Death Can Kill You EP

2011-06-09T14:24:00.001-07:00

This is a fine and small release from Awol One which is entirely produced by Factor. From the album with the same title on, Factor became some sort of producer homie like Daddy Kev was before. Factor didn't produce all albums after that one but they seem to fit well as this release is a good proof.
The production is more than solid, 3 tracks plus its instrumentals on the flip side starting with "Old Babies" a moody-chilly-trippy beat(you know what I mean :D ) and for example a line like "smoking lots of weed, trying to keep my health up" by Awol which builds up a perfect parallel to the track name. I think I better not comment on this one.

BTW Awol One has a new album out called "Child Star" which sounds dope and is pretty different from his stuff from before.

Awol One & Factor - Only Death Can Kill You EP

Mix by Omid with some tracks of the MC Aces

2011-05-30T05:45:00.000-07:00

On the 19th of July 2009 Omid hosted a radio show on KXLU for 3 hours and this is the whole show in one file. It was posted up on Blunt Rapps but the link is down and the post seems to be forgotten.

The interesting thing with this mix is that it contains some tracks from the MC Aces from around 1988 as Omid says. These tracks were recorded before the Freestyle Fellowship existed as we now know it. You know Haiku D'Etats "Mike, Aaron and Eddie"? It's based on the track "Mike, Eric and Eddie", they are Mikah 9, Spoon and Aceyalone.Also there is a cool track with Acey on the hook where he is hella playful and using lines like "let's clap your hands, drop your pants and listen to what I say".
Besides the cool MC Aces stuff there are also some rare tracks from Awol One and the Nonce. Additionally, Los Undergods Mexicanos who are very deep record collectors also provide some interesting tracks.

Omid - KXLU Mix

Chicharones - Pork Rind Disco EP

2011-05-23T06:11:00.000-07:00

I came across the Chicharones through a Mix-CD of Neila and I further checked their music and came to the conclusion that Pork Rind Disco is a pretty good track. The Chicharones are Sleep and Josh Martinez and the beats are provided by Pale Soul, Smoke and Zebulon Dak of Oldominion, while Big Stuff did a remix of Pork Rind Disco.

Souls Of Mischief - 93 'Til Infinity Instrumentals

2011-05-03T18:25:00.001-07:00

Hey, I took this recording from hqhiphop, removed the clicks and worked a bit with the EQs. Beneficial already did a great job and I improved it a little. The quality is not perfect at all but I'm in the process of figuring out, how to squeeze a better sound out of records. If you haven't heard this classic record grab it!

Souls Of Mischief - 93 'Til Infinity Instrumentals

Omid - Afterwords II

2011-04-17T13:53:00.000-07:00

This album has 12 tracks and there is no tracklisting. Beside that there seem to exist 2 versions of it with two different covers. Discogs states, that it was released in 2004 but I can remember buying it in 2001. You can find beats from tracks that were released before and long after for example the instrumental to OMDs "Money Is Meaningless live" version, the instrumental from Busdriver's "Jazz Fingers" and track 12 even is a beat of an older Kali 9 track called "Table Of Contents". Track 5 is a different version of "Sho'nuff", track 6 must be a Fellowship beat of the Shockadoom EP, I think.

Omid - Afterwords II

DJ Zeph / Variable Unit - Remixed 12"

2011-04-02T07:44:00.001-07:00

This is a small but fine release with a remix from DJ Design on the A-Side and its instrumental. The Seven Grain Remix on the B-Side is also a very dope track but there is no instrumental of it, what a pity! Both tracks, "Mirrors On Sand" and "Seven Grain" have a hard-hitting beat, so don't miss em.

DJ Zeph / Variable Unit - Remixed 12"

Darkleaf - Eclectic Storm 12"

2011-04-02T07:42:00.001-07:00

According to the Darkleaf/Nobody 12" by JackDevo I have also ripped a Darkleaf 12" on Ubiquity. Like the DJ Zeph 12" it also contains a Remix by DJ Design. A nice track it is where DJ Design again proofed his production skills. The instrumental of the Remix is also included. The B-Side contains two weird sounding but cool tracks.

Darkleaf - Eclectic Storm 12"

RJD2 - Magnificient Instrumentals

2011-03-31T14:53:00.001-07:00

In my opinion Magnificient City was AC's last banger album. Sometimes I have the impression that some people didn't realized how good the album is. Probably I'm wrong but give this one a good listen and you will probably feel it one day if you haven't before...

Rare Deeskee tape

2011-03-29T15:22:00.000-07:00

This is one of the rarest stuff I can offer on this blog. Actually, I got a copy of this tape from a friend about 9 years ago, I hope he is ok with meeee uploading it :) It is one of the weirdest tapes I have ever heard. If you just listen to the first track you'll surely understand what I mean. Pitifully 3 tracks are missing but there are 4 other tracks on it from the "In Loving Memory Of Deeskee" album.

Deeskee - Focused Sonic Suicide

Konceptual Dominance - Self Titled 12"

2011-03-27T06:31:00.001-07:00

While writing something for the last Fundamentals post, this release came into my mind. King Koncepts and Kirby Dominant are the Konceptual Dominance and this is the only 12" off their album.

Konceptual Dominance - Self Titled 12"

Fundamentals - Pow Wow / Code Red / Monkey King 12"

2011-03-27T04:07:00.002-07:00

Thanks to Jack Devo over at Beetbak this blog is coming closer to a complete discography of the Kemetic Suns. Produced by Eclipse 427, King Koncepts and Karma Chi this is an underground classic from the Bay.

Fundamentals - Pow Wow / Code Red / Monkey King 12"

Fundamentals - Stop The World: Science Must Progress 12"

2011-03-26T06:51:00.000-07:00

With production by Karma Chi, King Koncepts and Wind And Water and features from Hypnotic and Kirby Dominant this is a fine excerpt off the Fundamentals - Stop The World album. It is getting quiet interesting with only a few releases from the Kemetic Suns left over that I know of on this blog. What is missing is the Fundamentals - Pow Wow/Code Red 12" and the Per Aa Ra tape plus some stuff I haven't uploaded here for now. If you can help me out with the two above mentioned releases it would be much appreciated.

Fundamentals - Stop The World: Science Must Progress

Request: Alchemist - Instrumental Kings 3

2011-03-26T01:59:00.001-07:00

60 of Alchemists dopest beatz come with this 2xCD that you better shouldn't miss. This is for a DJ who I highly respect and of course for all the other beat junkiez out there.

Alchemist - Instrumental Kings 3

Beneath The Surface Instrumentals

2011-03-25T19:36:00.000-07:00

Don't let the picture trick you. This is a CD-Rip where you can also find "Line Postin In Pedro" which is missing on the Vinyl version.

Soul Purpose - Breaking Records

2011-03-25T18:43:00.001-07:00

Soul Purpose is King Koncepts latest group together with Zvi and Mazzi. In this combination they only released this album, later on Mazzi literally carried the name Soul Purpose alone. He also changed the name to S.O.U.L. Purpose because there was already another group with the same name. There are some nice features on this one like the appearance of the Auditrons (Karma Chi aka KiloJoule and Hypnotic aka Chris Sinister) and Kirby Dominant together on one track. Although I'm a great fan of the Kemetic Suns, this album really flow below my radar and I was glad like a small child eating delicious ice-cream or whatever. It's the title track with a flute sample and the sound of breaking glass. Another nice track is "Lung Collapsing pt 2" which features Percee P with a bouncy beat and flowing raps.
It looks like that there are 2 missing but it's only the Intro and I'm not sure if the 2nd is really missing cause there is also a bonus track... BTW, there are also two 12"es off this album.

Soul Purpose - Breaking Records

Akil Ammar - Melokarma

2011-03-22T13:28:00.000-07:00

Hailing from Mexico, Akil Ammar is an MC and I think, that he is a part of the group Sector Lucido, where Bocafloja and Skool 77 also belong to. But it's only speculation because the name appears often with the three MCs. It would be much appreciated, if someone has more detailed information to share!

The release itself contains some nice tracks where I have constantly pushed the repeat button...

Akil Ammar - Melokarma

Style Misia - Rebel Music

2011-03-18T07:25:00.001-07:00

Ok, it's the last one I'm offering. 17 tracks lasting almost 62 minutes there are some more features on it. Especially the appearance of P.E.A.C.E. is a surprise. Production is handled by Style Misia himself again. The track "Die Another Day" also appears on the 7" record "Style Misia & Left - D&C Affiliates". If you are interested in newer stuff from Style Misia be sure to check his Bandcamp-Site. There you will be able to load 3 albums from him for free.

Style Misia - Rebel Music

Style Misia - The Alibiez

2011-03-18T07:15:00.000-07:00

And it's going on. Style Misia released this one in 2003 and it only features Scarub on one track. 22 tracks over 64 minutes he produced everything by himself. It's a good release but it can't be bad to have some more features. Nevertheless there is a hint on the album that the tracks were recored between 1997 and 1999.

Style Misia - The Alibiez

Esoin - Substance & Oblivia

2011-03-17T15:00:00.001-07:00

This is a really fresh release out of the Constylations/New Moon/Daysmen Empire - hemisphere. Fresh because Esoin had a good hand at selecting the beats, some have a classic touch like the track "World Rotates" which reminds me of a remix of Roots "Silent Treatment". The track "Time Experience" contains some elements that remind me of Fellowships "Pure Thought" and "Funky Devoted" has of course a funky touch. The other tracks also have their unique styles so that this album isn't that straight type of ish were the tracks only vary little.

On the 18 tracks you can only find a few features from the New Moon crew members but there are also cool scratches provided by Worldwise, Havik and DJ Souniq. There is also one great track with the keys played by Demonic.

Esoin - Substance & Oblivia

New Moon - Down II Earth

2011-03-15T17:45:00.001-07:00

I'm filling a request from Jack over at Beetbak with this. You better don't listen to it, really I wouldn't recommend it. There is so many other dope stuff out, why listening to this one? :D

New Moon - Down II Earth

Foreign Legion - Kidnapper Van Instrumentals

2011-03-14T15:23:00.000-07:00

Yeah baby, the instrumentals to the classic album from Foreign Legion. 12 banging beats produced by DJ Design. If he would release some new stuff, that would be great...

ParanormL - Experience

2011-03-09T19:04:00.001-08:00

Check this out. Some rare ish from ParanormL recorded from a new record. It has some jazzy vibe and it is off ParanormL's "Jazz is the fundamentals" album. 3 tracks plus their instrumentals. Production is handled by The ParanormL himself except on "Experience" which is produced by Freddie Joachim.

Cunninlynguists

2011-03-02T01:33:00.000-08:00

There is an almost new track from the CunninLynguists I want to mention. You can check it here plus the Instrumental, Accapella and Radio versions of it. What's interesting about it is that they you can choose which amount you want to spend before downloading.

Also some interesting news: CunninLynguists are going on tour in Europe starting at the 25th of March. You can find all the dates on the page I have linked before.

Blue Sky Black Death - The Evil Jeanius Instrumentals

2011-02-21T15:59:00.000-08:00

Blue Sky Black Death grew to one of my favorite production crews out there over the past two years. Some people may not like their music because it is partly moody but what is interesting about BSBD is how they compose each track. Most of their tracks consist of three parts, an introduction, the main part and the last part which concludes the track. It doesn't sound spectacular but the interesting thing is, how they do it. The introduction often takes long, about a minute and more but the following main part will make your feelings jump around. The last part often makes you calm down again. This is very tricky but it doesn't really apply to this release, hahaha. But if you like this release be sure to also check out "Late Night Cinema".

Otherwize

2011-02-21T15:14:00.000-08:00

This album might not be newest one anymore but it looks like that it flew under the radar of many headz. As the cover implies, it is produced by the Alldeadly, Allmighty Jizzm High Definition. A good choice I think, both produced various tracks in the past together which proved to be dope. Examples might be the tracks "Warriors" & "Warriors RMX" from the samplers Illasophic 1.0 and 1.5 and "Contact To Combat" from the Wreckgear Compilation. Probably there are more of which I am currently not knowing of. Nevertheless this album also has some interesting guest apperances by Volume 10, Born Allah, Abstract Rude, DJ Lime Green, Nocando, Nono, Rifleman and Stylistic Jones. There is also a feature mentioned by Pretty Much on the track "Love L.A." of which I have never heard of before. Probably it is just a joke or it might be the female background singer.

2010-11-20T01:10:00.000-08:00

Here you can find a small but fine release. Sqwad Productions presents Large Professor and Neek The Exotic featuring a dope b-side track with Masta Ace. Clean, dirty and instrumentals are contained in this release, which is in flac this time.

An Older Selection Of Tracks

2010-11-16T23:18:00.000-08:00

According to the Anticon Giga Single, I made my own selection of tracks and called it my own "Giga Single". It was at a time when 2Mex was my favorite MC and the Visionaries visited my hometown and gaved one of the greatest concerts I have ever seen. It's a pity that I don't have a track with Key-Kool on it. But there are some tracks with 2Mex featuring Xololanxinxo, Iriscience, Busdriver, Riddlore, Nodody and Mum's The Word on it. And there are also tracks with other artists to explore...

LifeRexall - Frequency Response

2010-11-15T16:56:00.001-08:00

Dis is LifeRexalls 2nd album which was released in 2003 as a CDr. It comes as a pressed 2xCD containing a bonus instrumental disc and is somewhat rare. You can find the instrumental of "Rock Rhymes" on it, a track that was only on a rare 7" of Sublevel Epidemic.
I came across this release last year when I rediscovered my interest in Hip-Hop instrumentals and Liferexall as a producer catched my attention on the Smartyr release. As a member of the Shape Shifters he was responsible for a bunch of beats but this release doesn't have that typical weird Shape Shifter sound. The overall style is more laid-back but some tracks also offer some forward motion so that it has a certain diversity. So have fun!

Mikah 9 - Timetable

2010-10-01T04:45:00.001-07:00

For all the Fellowship lovers Mikah 9 released this fine CD in 2001 with material that was unreleased before. You can find excerpts from freestyles of Mikah 9 from Radio sessions and from Good Life sessions. Additionally there is a live recording of "American Nightmare" and there are some tracks that were previously unreleased, for example "Sand To The Beach" and "Fruit Don't Fall". To complete 23 tracks plus one bonus track, Daddy Kev provided some beats to also offer newer works and not only stuff from the past.
Some of the tracks are like a mystery to me. Especially the track "What You See Is What You Get" where it is stated, that it is Produced by Mikah and Sinatra. Frank Sinatra? I dont' know but nearly everything is possible!

Request: Naptron

2010-08-07T14:04:00.001-07:00

To save time and space, you will receive the Released and Unleashed album from Naptron. Most of these tracks were also recorded during the Celestial Recordings time somewhere between 1998 and 2001 I think and I'm sure that Al 'T' from Jamonproductions put out the Unleashed album around 2003 or 2004. Sadly, there are no production credits given.
Last thing I want to tell you is about the track Herrerah which is an ode to the Good Life fellas...

Who Framed The A-Team?

2010-07-19T15:32:00.001-07:00

You might have heard the A-Team on the Project Blowed compilation for the first time on the track "Maskeraid" for example. Here they (Abstract Rude & Aceyalone) are again but this time with a full-length album. There is another Heavyweights track on it, so that you can find all the released ones on this blog. It is the third round and I have added the OG Version of it below.

Jizzm - Raptalk Illasophic Sampler

2010-07-10T15:59:00.000-07:00

This Sampler contains 10 Tracks, some of them were taken from the Infinite album others are unreleased. Two of the unreleased tracks mark another formation around Jizzm, called the Frequency Freaks, who are Jizzm, Phoenix Orion and Trensetta.
Some of the stuff isn't that typical Jizzm stuff but you can expect good stuff!

Jizzm - Raptalk Illasophic Sampler

Jizzm - Infinite

2010-07-10T15:36:00.001-07:00

Again an album by Jizzm fully packed with features from talented cats. One thing that came instantly in mind is the fact that Tony Da Skitzo and Jizzm fit very well together and I would really like to look forward for future cooperations but Tony Da Skitzo died last year, RIP! Jizzm, Neb Luv and Tony Da Skitzo together formed the West Coast Avengers where also some other tracks exist, maybe a complete album, too!
Nevertheless, you'll herewith receive a diverse album with 77 minutes of music...Don't Sleep!

Abstract Tribe Unique's Golden Quartette

2010-06-20T05:42:00.000-07:00

As I mentioned before, in 1995 Abstract Rude was close to a record deal at Grand Royal home of the Beastie Boys. The album Mood Pieces was meant to be released there but only two tracks made it onto a compilation from the label. Behind the scenery there exist two records which have never been released, one only made it to the test pressing status, while the other probably went for promo status, but I'm not sure if it really is a promo record or just a test pressing, too. What I'm talking about is the "Blast Off Into Infinity (12" Test Pressing)" and the "Ohh I'm a Getcha (12" Promo)".
What I think is, that Mike D visited a Good Life session where he probably was impressed by a performance of Abstract Rude & the Tribe Unique and asked them for a demo tape. In his raps, Abstract Rude mentions "I handed a tape to Mike D from Grand Royal" multiple times and also "MC A plays the bass on OG Crew" which might be a hint for a different unreleased version of the "Heavyweights Round III" track, probably the one that was deleted on utube. Also a rough version of "Blast Off Into Infinity" was deleted!
The Blast Off Into Infinity record has stamped in the date NOV 17, 1995 while there isn't no direct clue on the "Ohh, I'm A Getcha" record when it was pressed except that it contains the hint, that it was mastered at Capitul Recordings. But I think that through Aceys deal with Capitul, Abstract gained access to the golden chambers and for that reason, I will definitely date it to '95.
In '97 ATU had a deal with the crown loyal label Big Dada, which resulted in another 12" with two tracks from the Mood Pieces album and later on in '98 followed a 12" on Deemo Records containing the track "Caught Up In the Rappcha" together with a track from Syndrome on the flip-side.
I think that these records give a good hint, how many obstacles upcoming artists have to pass and I don't want to know, how many patience was put into the "Mood Pieces" album through the years before it was finally self-released by ATU. Although I'm not a 100% familiar with all the background info, I think that the given hints paint a good picture of what was happened and I'm glad, that beside a ton of unreleased underground stuff, "Mood Pieces" was finally released in '98! A record that captured me from the first time I heard it and may never let me go...

Jumping On The Afterlife Train

2010-06-17T03:29:00.001-07:00

As Jack posted up some Afterlife stuff, I herewith post up one of my favorite Afterlife albums. I can remember in around 1999 or 2000 when I got into the CVE and found the Curbserver. At that time I had a very slow internet connection through an analogue modem patiently waiting until the download of a song was finished, which lasted around 15 minutes. Most of the downloads took longer, because there often was a connection failure or a time-out. Can you imagine? Most of the stuff that was downloadable from Curbserver was from this album. I can remember downloading the songs "Can you love a villain?", "Hot up in this club", "Do you love me?", "Killa Dealaz", "My minds on you", "Hold Yo Ground", "Role Model" and "Clockwork". So they offered most of the bangers from this album as a free download! But you can only find "Hey fish filet" on this album, a great track featuring Micole and Riddlore...

Is there something fowl?

2010-06-09T09:45:00.001-07:00

No, there isn't! As a son of the jazz musician Steven Fowler, Matthew Fowler aka Mumbles seems to had a positive influence from his father. Most heads may know Mumbles from Aceyalone's second album "A Book Of Human Language" and he also did two tracks on Aceyalone's first album "All Balls Don't Bounce". That's were both got together when Acey had his deal with Capitul back in '95. AC also has two appearances on this one and he didn't got the easiest beats to rap to. There is also an appearance of the Brazilian jazz vocalist Flora Purim who is known for her unique way of singing and an incident were she was accused for smuggling prohibited goods, I think you know what I mean. The lyrics she is using on the track "Never Ending" were taken from the track "Uri (The Wind)" from her album "500 Miles High".
This album doesn't only offer vocal tracks but also instrumental ones. To come back to the work Mumbles created, you can find different influences completing his repoirtoire with indian, psychedelic and jazzy elements. All in all the album has a slight touch of the World Music Genre. So enjoy your meal.

I put together some tracks from Naptron that weren't posted up for now. Containing approx. 40minutes on 8 tracks you will find 3 tracks that you might already know but the other 5 might be new to you. That's no wonder, some are unreleased, as long as I know.
But hold tight! Most of the tracks are real bangers! Persons who also appear are Otherwize, Rockin' Squat, Pyroman, Medusa, P.E.A.C.E. and Mama Moon.

2010-06-03T07:10:00.001-07:00

This is the Soundtrack to the movie Dead Homiez from 1997 which is a tribute to all the fallen homiez. It contains a gang of heavyweights like Volume 10, Sinister, DK Toon, B/Cartoon, Ganjah K, Abstract Rude, Buccet Loc, Quan, Skubie, Flowood, G.O.D. and Dutch. Here you can find the different version of "Front Row" from the Abstract Tribe Unique album "South Central Thynk Taynk".

Foreign Legion

2010-05-26T10:50:00.000-07:00

In my opinion this is one of the top hip-hop albums out. DJ Design created pure heat with his banging beats where its unavoidable to shake to your head to. Besides DJ Design, Foreign Legion consists of Prozack Turner and Marc Stretch.

This Naptron release is getting more and more difficult to find. It was released on Funk La Planet records which is run by Benjamin Deffe. I have also posted up two other releases from FLP earlier with Phoenix Orion on them. They are part of the Alien Nation era back in the day when they resided in Brooklyn, NYC.

This record contains two different mixes of Put Your Hands Up plus an instrumental and Transmitting plus its instrumental. Transmitting features the insane freestyle king Supernatural.

Kemetic Suns - Road Maps Or Dirt Naps

This is an interesting collection of previously released stuff from the Kemetic Suns. But there are also tracks were I don't know where they are from. For example "Auditron" with the formation Ka Auditron Ba aka Auditrons which are KarmaChi and Hypnotic. It's a very nice track with some classic sound!

Moonshine - Weep No More

This is the original release from 1996. Back in the day The Anonymous called themself Moonshine consisting of Zinndeadly, Vesuvio and Able Body aka Manifest. DJ Drez and Nikko also have a short appearance on this one. In contrary to the description on Discogees the re-release is mixed in a different way.
