The French beatmaking trio of Madhi, Dusty & DJ Damage better known as the Jazz Liberatorz, are back with another timeless jazz influented hip-hop album. Although this is not my favorite release from the Jazz Liberatorz, I can still understand that people can relate to this, and this reminds people of the time when hip-hop really sounded this way.
The new album entitled “Fruit of the Past” features Aloe Blacc, Fat Lip, Wildchild, Mos Def and others! Thanks to our Japanese friends for sending this.. moovmnt’s favorite tracks below…

For all the beatheads out there, #8 of 7 is the last in the All City beat series. This 45 comes from Swiss beatmaker Dimlite. 4 Minutes of abstract futuristic madness crossing between sick 80′s style new wave dirt into dreamy soul tinged indie-smurf folk..I couldn’t explain it better. Maybe you’re just not ready for this..but you should give it a try.
Upcoming releases on All City: Mike Slott, Martyn, Nosaj Thing, Take, Ruckazoid

My man J Kim hooked us up with this joint early in the morning. Now I was kinda busy, but I had to squeeze this dope Co$$ joint in. Fonetik on the production and this is L.A. at it’s finest! Got nothing but love for this kinda music. This one didn’t make the upcoming album that’ll be out on Tres Records late summer.

After being shot in the head and losing a fiance to suicide Vstylez has stayed persistant in the pursuit of his dreams. He began recording his solo project “Masterpiece Theater” with additional scores by DJ DEZ (Slum Village) and MoSS. “Clash of the Titans” has a sick line-up and MoSS did a hell of a job on the production. It’s Hiphop like we used to listen to back in the days…quality. Together with Buff1 and Stretch Money V gives us “Can’t Stop a Man” which is just as impressive and was produced by DJ DEZ. Listen for yourself and pass judgement. Thnx to DetroitRap

K-Murdock just released the ”Limited Budget Unlimited Quality” album…for FREE!! Crossrhodes is a collective consisting of K-Murdock, Raheem Devaughn and Wes Felton – who did several collaborations - prior to Raheem’s major label deal. This album was recorded in a 3 month span (from November 2001 – Feb 2002) I read that Raheem announced this free album on Twitter recently, but thanks to Neosonix Blogspot here it is.
Now let me be honest and tell ya’ll that this is one hell of an album considering the price you have to pay for it. The productions are tight and certainly not half ass or rushed. No surprise the vocals are tight as can be and the skits are funny. We’ve been waiting for some quality soul music for a while and here it is in the form of a free release…now ain’t that something?! Tracklisting after the jump…

All we can say about this release is…WOW. Eventhough this is not the best DJ Mitsu the Beats album ever…it’s still one hell of an album with some killer highlights.
The title track “A Word To The Wise” is not what I hoped it would be, but the second joint ”Ridin’” with Kev Brown and Cy Young made up for this for sure. Together with Jose James Mitsu brings us “Promise In Love” and this nothing less than a beautiful, jazzy song – come on who doesn’t love horns? Now “Night In Vienna” might or might not be your cup of tea, but for me personally this is the nicest (full of flutiness) non-hiphop song on the entire album. It takes me back to the mid seventies with its uptempo soulfulness.
Now after a couple of mediocre tracks we get to the nitty gritty. The best hiphop tracks on “A Word To The Wise” are ”The Game Changer” featuring Georgia Anne Muldrow & Wild Child (certified funky banger!) and the previously leaked ”Untitled” joint with Elzhi. Even if you heard it before…this Detroit banger is still sick. To finish it off…”Dim Skyline” with Mark de Clive Low. What can we say? An attempt to genius, but it just didn’t have enough variation in it to be called that. Nevertheless very pleased to hear Mark de Clive Low again! Okay we’re done…oh wait. Ivana Santilli ends this review with “Playing Again”. Soulful, lovely…done. 8 out of 10..that’s what’s up.
Nothing to add anymore…so check it out for yourself. Put May 27th in your agenda and make sure you buy this highly anticipated album (that won’t disappoint you) released on PlanetGroove/Jazzy Sport!!

Some of you might have slept on the “Soul Mixtape” by DJ Jazzy Jeff from 4 years ago. For those that did we have a crazy song we had to share with soul singer V who recently released his second album. His first album – The Revelation Is Now Televised – is a true masterpiece and was produced by Jazzy Jeff and Pete Kuzma (Jill Scott’s band leader). To be perfectly honest V’s latest album is a bit of a disappointment and it doesn’t come close to the first BBE release.

Today a legend told his story to a select group of people and we were lucky enough to be there. Tony Allen is undeniably the best Afrobeat drummer ever and he came all the way to Amsterdam for a Red Bull Music Academy masterclass .
Now RBMA was so nice to give us 20 copies of their “Various Assets” (Barcelona 2008) CD’s to give away to our very own Moovmnt visitors. The CD also contains application info for artists interested in signing up for the RMBA 2010 in London. Leave a comment saying why you should get a copy of the Various Assets CD or ADD us to twitter and DM us! You can also send an email to contact@moovmnt.com, but people that leave a comment and our twitter buddies get first dibs!
The Fatima & Dorian Concept joint is from the Various Assets album and we had to hook ya’ll up with some brand new Zap Mama music with Tony Allen and Meshell Ndegeocello from the new “ReCreation” album.
