Jonti – Sine & Moon
Jonti’s Sine & Moon is a FREE album curtesy of Stones Throw records for a limited time. If you missed it …. I don’t know what to say, but it’s a good one.
Jonti’s Sine & Moon is one of the happiest beat albums I’ve heard. I was checking out the artwork and wasn’t sure what I [...]
Duke Westlake – Memory Palace
I don’t want to hold you back from listening to this great album, so this write-up is going to be short and sweet. Trek hit me up about Duke Westlake and, I admit I was totally sleeping. Duke chimed in on our twitter convo and showed me the video he did. (Kids shut your eye [...]
Mike Gao – Sun Shadows
My man Mike Gao blessed me with a copy of his latest album Sun Shadows. He told me whether it’s good or bad just let him know what I thought of it. I dropped it in the iPod and cranked up the volume. I thought it was going to be 9 tracks of hypnotic beats [...]
Hellfyre Club – Prometheus
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 [...]
Sotu the Traveller – HourGlass
Sotu the Taveller hooked up with Nalden to make this ill video for his track HourGlass. It tripped me out at first. I started to hear that backwards record sound on the track and the video was in forward motion. At first there were small changes I started to notice, like the video was going [...]
Blakface – Blaktastic Vol.1
I was catching up on twitter and ran across a Jansport J tweet about a free download… Blaktastic Vol. 1. I’m all about the free downloads, but I took a second look at that one. “Blakface, what?!?” It was well worth that second take. At first I wasn’t sure what I was going to get, but a couple [...]
BOOMBOX: May 1st
[ 1 May, 2010 9:30 pm to 2 May, 2010 2:00 am. ] I gotta apologize for the delay on getting the word out on this month’s Boombox. It’s going to be an absolute must see, event! First off, let me give BIG thanks to Inka One, Ben Diggin, and One Man Jazz for making Boombox a staple in L.A. Second, the folks at Boombox know how to [...]
theOTHERSIDE x Haz Solo – Laundry Day
Anytime that Haz Solo puts out a project, I listen to it. He recently teamed up with theOTHERSIDE to bring you this dope EP called Laundry Day. I’m not even sure if I need to talk about this one. Haz is a riot, so you know anything he spits is a build up to something [...]
Stevie Crooks – Diamonds & Guns
Mr. Crooks does it again with Diamonds & Guns. The title track is a banger. Diamonds & Guns puts you in an Audrey Hepburn movie with a heist and the villain gets away. Maybe it was the cover art that made me envision that. Either way Stevie Crooks kills that track. Crooklyn is another track [...]
Hollywood Floss – The Xperiment Vol.1
I got a link from this cat Hollywood Floss about his EP, The Xperiment. Vol. 1. The link lead me to Hailmegetron.net with an explanation of the concept. Hollywood Floss sent a few joints out to a couple of his frienda, and had them name the tracks. And then he would put the “experiment” out. [...]
