Single You Out: Jise x Alucard x IDE – Proximity

A new single from the Creative Juices came comprised of Jise, Alucard, and IDE. And these guys always bring collective flavor to the game. Creative Juices has been around for a long time and has certainly evolved over the years, but the consistency has always been high quality music. And that’s what you get with their single, Proximity. Their flows, while all unique, weave equally ominously over this hauntingly boom bap production from IDE.

New album, Yantra, coming at some point this year.

This is a yearly musical synopsis from the fam over at Creative Juices. The crew over their has been one of my favorites for three of four years now. They are always cranking out dope jams, and this mixtape gives you a taste of more than just a few of them. Again, this is a great way to get you caught up with the crew or get put on as a fan. Obviously this is mixed by the skilled talent that is DJ Connect. They have loads of great music in store for 2013 as well. Enjoy!

Single You Out: Junior Makhno – Down With Us (ft. IDE x Alucard)

Evidentially Creative Juices will be the label Junior Makhno will utilize to drop his next mixtape and first studio album.  I am familiar with some Makhno tracks and know he fits the mold of what CJM is known for.  Which is putting out no frills boom bap.   Here’s the first single from the project.  The descending vocal sample over those drums is the crem de la creme.

Critical – Clinical Studies (2012)

Wow. What a nice surprise this was!  I own most of these jawns from Critical, but to see them all in once place is impressive.  The man has put in work, and this project puts that into perspective.  Critical is a very talented emcee on the Creative Juices roster and has an album dropping later this year entitled, Electrical Tape.  My favorite joints are his collaborations with Little Vic which are done under the monniker, Hidden Agenda.

Check this mixtape out.  You are bound to find some interesting gems.

Single You Out: Stonecutters (IDE x Alucard) – Fall Of Persia

Stonecutters - Fall of Persia Cover Art

IDE and Alucard team up to form the group, Stonecutters.  They have an album on the way and Fall Of Persia is their first offering from that project.  The production sounds like some music that is used to haunt a chapel.  It has an eerie yet mystic vibe to it.  I am definitely feeling it, and if you are feeling it as well, why don’t you cop it for a $1 and contribute to the making of the album.  Creative Juices Music put out that quality hip hop so show some love!

Note:

The AbSouljah hit me up one day a few weeks ago and mentioned that his friend, and producer, Ugly Tony, was going to have an album dropping in the next few weeks and invited me to check it out. For those that do not know, Ugly Tony, is a producer that is coming out of France. When learning this, whether intending to or not, when listening to the album, I began to compare him to his European contemporaries. Specifically coming to mind was another French producer, Al’Tarba, and the beatsmith’s from Germany, the Snowgoons and The Hitfarmers. What I first noticed was a bit of divergence from those contemporaries. At Nightfall is a bit more eclectic and less orchestral. He doesn’t rely on one particular type of production technique, but rather uses different sounds to establish  that boom bap appeal.
