Eligh - 80HRTZ



Hey guys, you shoud definitely check out Eligh's new album 80HRTZ. It is produced by DNAE beats who also worked together with Paranorml and Neila in the past. The beats are dope as fuck and Eligh is spitting like hell! There will be a CD and a limited vinyl version in red.
You can get the album on Bandcamp for free but some bonus tracks are missing there, it looks like that you can only get them with the physical releases or any other digital service that you have to pay for. On one of these bonus tracks Basik MC has a very dope appearance btw.

2Mex - B-Boys In Occupied Mexico


This is my favorite 2Mex solo release to date and I'm very proud to provide this one because I once lended it to a friend and after that it had a lot of scratches on the bottom side that even my CD-Player wasn't able to play it without skips. But thanks to XLD there are no audible errors!

An Older Selection Of Tracks

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


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!

Jumping On The Afterlife Train



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...

I offer you the probably best rip on the net you can find of this one so don't miss the chance to check it out...

Painting A New Picture




Next stop P.A.I.N.T.     ATU doesn't exist anymore in the way we knew it from before. Abstract Rude, Fat Jack and Zulu remained while DJ Drez joined in. Abstract Rude got more dominant in the group as you can see on the cover, that the group isn't stated as Abstract Tribe Unique anymore but Abstract Rude + Tribe Unique. You can also realize this fact in the album itself, it is not solely produced by Fat Jack, but also Daddy Kev, Rob The Viking and Kenny Segal. Vocally there are also a lot of features on the album of rappers that didn't belong to the Tribe, for example Awol One, the Heavyweights, Slug, G&E, Moka Only, LMNO, Busdriver, 2Mex, Xololanxinxo, Eyedea and some fine female artists. The overall sound got more clean and is probably meant to address the masses and not only the headz but maybe it was necessary to get a record deal on Battle Axe, the label of the Swollen Members who partly  serve a different audience. It is more clearer on this album than it was on the South Central Thynk Taynk, there the sound also got more clean and lost a bit of its roughness. You can say that ATU switched the station (oh what a coincidence!) to target a greater audience by reinventing themselves and painting a new picture with this album...
