2Mex & Liferexall - Money Symbol Martyrs Instrumentals


Lately I have been very deep into collecting instrumentals and I thought of starting to share them with you. One great producer in my opinion is Liferexall who produced this album and who was also responsible for most of the Shape Shifters beats. So if you didn't like the Shifters beats, blame him :D But on this album you can find a real fresh production which differs much from the older Shifters ones. Be sure to check it.

Awol One & Factor - Only Death Can Kill You


Here is another find from the second hand market. I was surprised again! You can hear Awol One on 10 tracks that were produced by Factor plus some guest appearances. Don't miss it especially the track 'Old Babies'.

Joe Dub & Factor - Live In '75


Today I had some real luck, grabbing this one on a second hand market for only 3 bucks! I surely have to share it with you because I think that Joe Dub is an totally underrated MC/Producer. He only picked beats from Factor on this release, but Joe Dub proved on various other releases that he is also a dope producer.

Stranger Day - Burning Bridges



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.

Awol One & Factor - Only Death Can Kill You EP



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.

ParanormL - Experience


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.

Is there something fowl?


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.

Phoenix Orion - Zimulated Experiences II



The Celestial Squadron album gives a clue that this album was recorded around the same time the first version was. The track "Close Encounters" was on the Squadron album and there was a hint for it that it was taken from the Zimulated Experiences II. Word has it, that there is also a 12" called Transorganicz, a track that is also on the ZEII album. But this 12" must be extreme rare and the possibility to hold it in my hands will be infinitesimal close to zero.
For this album I have also added two extra tracks which are not listed, with one featuring Awol One and Gel.

Volume 10 - Pawn Shop



This is Volume 10's latest release from 2007, it has 2 features of P.E.A.C.E. and one of Black Silver. On the last track P.E.A.C.E. is also taking care of the hooks. I have no info on the production credits but it sounds like Bionik took care of it. Track 6, the title track, probably isn't because the elements used are more organic and airy in contrary to the progressive and more electronic sounding ones Bionik is using in general. This track is also the smoothest one on the album.
