Maleko - Thinking Outloud

I have to be honest, I don't own the Thinking Outloud album :( But I have a rip of the tape version on Mini-Disc and my opinion is, that I prefer this version over the CD version. The only thing I have to add is that it belongs to my favorite Deeskee produced albums...

Request: Neila - Vertical Trees EP

About one year before the album came out, Neila released this EP picking one track from every producer that also appeared on the album except Myk Mansun and Matth. There is also an EP only track that is produced by DJ Casey of the group Innernational. I have only added the versions that are not on the album meaning the instrumentals and the EP only track.

Neila - Vertical Trees With Eternal Leaves

This is Neila's first album that was pressed on CD. Before that she released tapes and CD-R's. There are only two guest spots on it, one from Gajah of the group Acid Reign and one from Myk Mansun who is close to Acid Reign. As you probably know Gajah you might not heard from Myk Mansun before but he is also a dope MC and Producer. Surprisingly he appears on Myka 9's album 'Souvereign Soul' that was released last month! On 'Vertical With Eternal Leaves' Myk Mansun also produced the track that he appears on. Besides him Daddy Kev, Liferexall, Matth and Omid also produced one track. Deeskee was the one, who took care of the remaining 11 beats. 1+4+11 makes 16 relaxing tracks that fit very well for the winter time.

Music By The Hour

Record Players - Direct Drive

When I woke up today I had the song "Don't forget about the music" in my ears and at that moment I didn't know where it was on. I looked on utube but I couldn't find it there. So I had a look at DiscoG's and I found it there and was happy that I got the CD. So here it is...and don't forget: Making money but don't forget about the music!

Omid - Summer Tour 2006

In two-thousand and six Omid went on tour, where he visited various countries, and took this CD with him to sell it to the fans. It is 14 tracks deep and solely contains instrumental tracks besides two tracks.

Deeskee - Focused Sonic Suicide

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.
Yesterday, my friend gave me his tape and I'm proud to announce that all tracks are now available her as a 1st generation dub!

Neila - For Whom The Bells Crow

The last time I wrote something about Neila, I tried to encourage you to help her out by buying her LP "Only This One Counts". Since then she also released the same album on tape! Two releases earlier, Neila put out this fine CD where you can also get a 7" off it if you are lucky ;D
There is only one feature from Pigeon John on this album but what makes it so interesting is the line of producers who were involved. There is Porter from Sweden, Maki from Canada, Sakari aka Ameba from Finland, while the rest is from the US I think. Omid, Joe Dub from SFSM, Jimi The Mantis Claw, Paris Zax who produced Busdrivers "Imaginary Places", Vrse Murphy from Sacred Hoop, Deeskee and Presto. Phew... Also involved were James Morris and Wil-Dog Abers from Ozomatli who played the bass on "Make Up". "Stolen Thoughts" was performed by Monte Carlo 76.

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!

Maleko - Omnidirectional

You probably wonder why I'm upping so much Maleko stuff today. Today I found some older links that are still working and I thought about sharing the music with you. As you can see on the picture of the cover there are a lot of artists on this album, so much that I am not able to tag them all! Here is a citation from P-Minus:
The mighty Maleko cranks out another winner with 18 lovely tracks featuring ALL of your favorite underground emcees and producers: Tommy V., Raj, Randy & Psuedo (Lip Service), Neila, Da Golden Ray, Jundax,  Ian, Space Ranger, Ceschi & David Ramos (Anonymous Inc.), Enzyme (Organics), Rage, Agile, Triangulum, Matre, Radioinactive, Autoflo, Optimus Rhymes, Deeskee, Nocturnal Ron, Mr. Slugsworth, Gunther B., Jericho J., Kiko, WD4D, Anti-MC and PBoFA.

That's almost 73 minutes of wonderful stuff that proves that the northern California underground hip hop scene is one of the most vibrant and collaborative around.

Maleko - Nocturnal Journals

Look what I have left over. Although my CDr isn't readable anymore I still have an older rip of this album. It is completely produced by Joe Dub and recorded by Deeskee and Tommy V. It features WD4D and Dave Redeye on the decks and raps from Joe Dub, Da Golden Ray, Ian, Pilot Rase, Administer, Agile, Confucius and Space Ranger. One of my favorite tracks on this is "Concepts" featuring Da Golden Ray and Ian of Private School on a funky beat. It is obvious that Maleko and Da Golden Ray make a good duo if you also check the track "Second Wind" off the Strictly Indee compilation....

Neila - Searching For Prajna

With this CD there is something wrong!
13 tracks are listed but the production credits state 16 tracks.
Eventhough the credits list only covers 8 tracks!
But production is handled by Joe Dub, Ruski (Deeskee?), Buk Naked and Jimi The Mantis Claw.
The feature list contains Drunken Immortals, Jimi The Mantis Claw, Rhettoric, Joe Dub, Tommy V, Type-O, Knows (of US Pros), Brad, Buk Naked, Jizzm, Brandon B, Fluid and Ruski.
