I started watching this video and was like  ”wow this is a dope track”. I watched it a second time and saw my man Al Jieh from SWTDRS Creative Collective playing almost every role in this video. On the third time I was trying to figure out how they got it to look like that. I didn’t know what a digital harinezumi was, but I do now. Check out DaVinci and let it take you around Fillmore in the Blame Game, and keep your ears open for Feast Or Famine (EP) & The MOEna Lisa (LP) to dropping soon.

You take a rapper, lets say NOCANDO, match him up with dope beatmakers, and you know a dope idea is getting ready to explode… HELLFYRE! Now throw in the homies VerBs, E.Super, Bomb Zombies, and a handful of other cats and you get the Hellfyre Club. To be honest I wasn’t sure what I was going to get outta this, but it was like a pleasant punch right in the face. Hellfyre Club presents Prometheus is packed with heavy hitting beats, and clever emcees. I just have to put it out there, but if you aren’t up on E.Super you need to be. Prometheus is the titan that stole Zeus’ fire and gave it to the humans…and Hellfyre Club has taken it and put it in your ears. Read the LA Times article when you get a chance and download Hellfyre Club – Prometheus here. BIG thanks to VerBs for tweeting the LA Times article on Prometheus. You cats keep doing what you’re doing.

While checking out Vimeo videos as usual, I ran across King Fantastic’sLost Art of Killing video that DJ EROK liked and I decided to check it out. I can’t even begin to tell you what I was thinking when I saw this video. It was like watching Dexter or something, but raw. I had to watch it again. If you think this is ill, check out King Fantastic’sWhy? Where? What? video. Side note don’t watch it at work! Enjoy.
When my friend Eric Boss first introduced me to Dan Aka Trailer Limon and I heard his music, I knew he would be on the shine soon. Trailer has got some of the most diverse sounds packed into one project I have ever heard.
This latest EP, Special Dedication – The B-Sides consists of 5 tracks running the gamut of hip hop, soul, funk, chillwave and even uptempo danceable ish. Makes sense because this dude is a multi-instrumentalist who delves into his creations using a mixture of analog instruments, synths, samplers, electronic drums and anything else he can get a noise out of. From throwback disco and hip hop jams to afro-Slump and future funk, Trailer is a musical chameleon with his mind rooted in funk. He is so sick he gots the funky flu.

I was bumping around on tumblr (when it works) and found Turn Off Your Radio. This is a great tumblr site to follow if you want to keep up with UK tunes. Anyways, I saw that they posted Soul Culture’s video of Ghostpoet in the Red Bull studio remixing Cash & Carry Me Home featuring Kano. This is a really dope track and I’m looking to dig up some more for Ghostpoet. Check out his EP, The Sound of Strangers on Band Camp.
It’s always good to see a cat doing it big with other folks, and take time for themselves to produce quality stuff as well. Swiff D has done just that. Known for making tracks for Pac Div, Busta, Anthony Hamilton, Dipset, Snoop Dogg and many others, he put out this high energy, with some chill tracks, beat tape called Ladders. After listening to it about a half a dozen plus times, I think… I know this is a cat you shouldn’t be f*ck’n with. Driving around, loud at a club, or just kicking with your people you’ll definitely get some head nods from it. Download Swiff D – Ladders here, and check him out on Twitter. BIG thanks Swiff D for tweeting this. Keep doing what you’re doing.

Some folks whistle while they work, others find tunes and crank it up. Earlier this year I got an email about this beat tape by The Underachievers titled The Underachievers Volume 2. I want to say I was in the middle of a project when I downloaded it. I put it on, and left it on all day. I can honestly say The Underachievers Volume 2 put me in “GO” mode. The Underachievers have put together a collection of beats that got made, but weren’t picked up for some reason or another. Based on my own listening experience, this is definitely worth listening to. It’s a heavy instrumental album with nicely placed samples. Job well done. Download The Underachievers – The Underachievers Volume 2 on Band Camp. BIG thanks to Anthony for shooting this over to me.

Yes it’s that time again folks….Boombox!!! The Boombox team has come up with a great line up as usual for March. They’ve got Mr. Rhettmatic in the house with Lefto, and P.U.D.G.E. bringing the banging tracks. And it’s always a family affair with your resident DJs Inka One, Ben Diggin, and Analog. I have been going to Boombox for a while and have always had a good time. I’ll tell you this once again, bring your dancing shoes and get ready for a party.
