New music from Goldini Bagwell is always a good thing. He’s the most unique member of the Sandpeople camp stylistically. This is the initial single for his forthcoming SecondHand Smoke project. Production comes from Chase Moore and Hippie Sabotage. The track is laid back, yet well written.
Sparkingtin and Soulslicers did it once and they are about to do it again. In 2011 they teamed up to drop The Exit Started It. That EP was tight as hell. I still walk around my house yelling upon occasion….Punch You In The Face For No Apparent Reason! They are going to drop version 1.5 this spring and this joint sounds pretty ill to me. What do you think? I think this beat is going to sprain some necks…
Off of Swollen Members forthcoming album, Beautiful Death Machine. I hope the music is as dark as the title and this song suggests because nobody did darkness better than Swollen Members. This song is eerily reminiscent of a track that might have been heard off of Balance (which is not a good thing…it’s a great thing). It just has that haunting vibe. Also, I know Madchild gets a lot of press, but does anyone else think Prevail’s incredibly underrated?
One of the dopest cuts off of MaLLy and The Sundance Kid’s dope album, …The Last Great which was one of the Ten Best Albums From 2012. I like what they did by integrating different people in the video. That’s fresh.
Another installment of the Pay Day series delivered by SYG while we await Cold Winters and Warm Whiskey 2 dropping on February 21st. Although half of the track is an excerpt of a Rodney Dangerfield stand up bit, the initial musical offering remains dope.
Side Effect has a new project, Flyest On Papyrus, that I will be reviewing in the coming days. But before I put that review to print, I missed this video for the track Cyber Bully and wanted to share it. No matter his locale, Side Effect always brings the A game.
Here we go on some ‘Soldier Of Fortune’ type sh-t or do we? I was expecting some banging boom bap but this cut has some real bluesy flavor and very musical. I am really feeling this. It is very different in it’s tone. Of course you add heavyweights such as Maffew Ragazino and AG Da Coroner and it’s going to be hard to pass this one up. This cut is off of Dj Brown 13’s forthcoming EP, F.A.T.
New music from The Regiment featuring Toki Wright on the mic and Nick Speed for the high energy production. Dope joint. Apparently the duo have an album dropping soon with production done entirely by Speed. I have enjoyed their music thus far and definitely interested in hearing their new project.
Ok. I am not going to pretend that I understand every facet of the plot that is going on in this video but I will telly ou what I do know beyond a shadow of a doubt…Original Text is dope and makes great music. I just got hip to them in 2012 and hope to hear more from them in 2013. You can DL there EP, The Out Number for free HERE.
I am really waiting on K-Hill’s new EP, Achilles’ Hill, and the forthcoming album by the same title in the summer. This track is a combination of soulful instrumentation and vocal samples with K-Hill’s authoritative boom-bap delivery. K-Hill just has that voice that sticks with you. There is also a bonus remix to be downloaded by IMAKEMADBEATS. The EP drops on February 26th.
